Please Don't Kick Me Out

This week's episode features Brandon Schwitter, a podcaster, wine enthusiast/maker, and all-around nostalgic human. Brandon and I discuss Beanie Babies, wine, frolfing, and more. Brandon is the co-host of the Namely 90s Podcast, which gets deep into the pop culture of my favorite nostalgia era. @bscwhitty is a good human, who I really enjoyed getting to know. I am glad to share this episode with you, as part of my Collab Camp series, which highlights amazing creators who have blessed my life over the last year. Imposter syndrome can be so prevalent, but we are helping to normalize it one episode at a time.

Serena Louise is a long-time friend of mine, and talented artist. She is just such a joy, and a gift in my life. I have known Serena since our freshman year of college (University of Northern Colorado), and she is just an utter delight. She has always seen me for me, and I have seen her for who she is. In doing this podcast for over a year, I have found that I have such a gift of seeing people for their character, and being a loyal friend. Serena feels imposter syndrome by just bumbling through life. I adore this interview. Did I mention it's her birthday? Yes! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY SERENA! Also, the shirts she mentions are at Pity Laugh.

SERIES ALERT - This is COLLAB CAMP, a way for me, a podcast team of one, to share and highlight some of the wonderful stories I have had the honor to hear this year. While in the middle of an OCONUS move in the final home stretch, my husband coming back from deployment, and my podcast picking up speed, I know that I have let some time lapse for some of these great conversations. That is why I want to highlight the creators, thinkers, and doers that have given me the space to share their stories with me this year before taking on any new content. Think of COLLAB CAMP like a creative bubble. Episodes for this will release every Monday through September. To my guests, thank you for your continued patience with me this year, as my podcast has evolved and changed. Find new creative episodes every Monday at 9 AM through September.

This week's episode features filmmaker Justin McAleece. Justin and I talk about imposter syndrome in terms of creativity, being in the wrong college major, love and loss, and trusting others to do the job the right way on a shoestring budget. Justin is a great human who has had a lot of cool projects release via his company Blare Media in the last year.

New Theme: For the next 3 Fridays, I will be sharing 3 military-focused stories both from spouses, and veterans in honor of RED Friday, which is a tradition to "Remember Everyone Deployed". With my husband coming back from deployment, and on the cusp of an OCONUS move, Friday will still always hold something special to me. Wearing something RED in honor of everyone deployed and they come home was a comfort, and I still try to wear something red each Friday. This week I was featured on Call To Marriage with Callie Meredith again, talking about our move and how I prepared. Check it out! 

Today's Military Spotlight is Ashley Stephenson, a military spouse, lawyer, and author of, “Rise Up: Be Resilient Like You’re Running Out of Time,” which is great. Ashley and I talk about being a woman, the merit of the law, how polarizing things can be, and how to rise up and overcome imposter syndrome. Ashley is a very kind human and has a lot to say. I hope you enjoy this episode!

Pelayo AF is a content creator, comedian, International Representative, and larger-than-life personality. We discuss all sorts of things, but mainly: IMPOSTER SYNDROME SUCKS! We touch on all sorts of topics from LGBT, to religion, and how to just feel comfortable in one's skin. We wisdom with age and confidence, and Drag Race...Probably way too much about that, but fans will be fans! This is the final PRIDE 2021 episode in honor of the month; however, this is not the end of my LGBTQIA+ support or advocacy work. 

PRIDE LINEUP: This is an inclusive podcast about imposter syndrome is by definition: is a psychological pattern in which an individual doubts their skills, talents, or accomplishments and has a persistent internalized fear of being found out to be a fraud. If you've listened to my podcast for a while, you know that is absolutely not how I definite it. I define it as the feeling of not fitting in or being able to truly be who you are authentically for fear of rejection. For the month of June, and Pride 2021, I wanted to honor some of the LGBTQIA+ voices I have heard from. In this lineup, we have gay, pansexual, nonbinary, and more. There are so many colors on the pride flag that can represent pieces of who you may be. For me, imposter syndrome super impacted my support of pride. I didn't like being put in the cis-gendered straight box. I am non-binary, with both male and female energy. This year, and every year, I am proud to be queer.
