[ISBW] Navigating Imposter Syndrome on the JoCo Cruise

I Should Be Writing Season 20, Episode 10

"I felt like a cuckoo among very pretty birds." - Mur

Fresh off the JoCo cruise, we discusses the allure of nerd paradise and how navigating imposter syndrome is a frequent struggle. I share tabletop RPG antics, celebrity karaoke adventures, and the amazing feeling of having legitimately cool creators accept you. Self doubt did show up, and I'll talk about how I dealt with that.

Also, what should I do for my 20th year podcasting celebration?
