Ever held back from sharing your work because you felt like it wasn’t good enough? You’re not alone. Imposter syndrome creeps in at every stage of the creative journey—but the world needs what you have to offer.

In this episode, we’re getting real about self-doubt, sharing our own struggles with imposter syndrome, and breaking down how to push past the fear of not being “ready.” We’ll talk about why perfectionism is just fear in disguise, how to reframe your mindset, and why starting is always more important than waiting for the perfect moment.

If you’ve been playing small, this is your reminder to step up, share your creativity, and stop letting imposter syndrome win. Hit play now.

G'day guys, we're back with a new episode of Talkshop - and a completely different type, we thought we'd record an episode that's not 'strictly business'. It doesn't follow a plan and it's essentially just myself and Al having a chat about a few things that have been on our minds recently. 

We'd love to hear your feedback as to whether we should record more like this. 

As always, thanks for tuning in!
