Today I’m talking to our producer Mel Robinson. I’ve invited Mel in front of the mic to share some insights about creativity, imposter syndrome and the importance of play. Mel has a gift for the light hearted, and definitely brings that over in Port in the Storm, but today we’re covering a more serious side.
"Imposter syndrome" is what we call it when you doubt your skills, talents or accomplishments and have a persistent fear of someone finding out you're not good enough. As a photographer, Mel has a lot of experience in this space and has some insights to move you through those feelings and into a headspace where play is possible.
If what you heard today resonated with you, I’m always up for a chat. Every week, I have conversations with people who need an ear and people who are ready for change. Wherever you are right now, that’s part of your story, but there’s always a way to start a new chapter. Come and book yourself in.
I also run a Facebook community called Port in the Storm. We welcome all women and non-binary people who want to learn how to navigate life’s challenges with strength, ease and energy. Your challenges might be massive, or they might be made up of a million tiny issues. Some days it might feel like all you can do is survive; other days you feel all fired up to make a change. This group is here for you, no matter where you’re at.
