The Creative Impostor

Episode 109. "Ultimately, it's up to you to craft your own life." ~Pat Wetzel, author, traveler, founder & creator of CancerRoadTrip

When I asked Pat Wetzel to imagine her life in the wildly uncertain future, the creator of CancerRoadTrip and the new podcast Bump In The Road, responded with complete certainty.

But first…

To understand Pat's optimistic attitude toward the personal and the professional, it's helpful to know how she got here. Diagnosed with supposedly inoperable cancer in 2009, Pat embarked on her treatment journey to discover that "care" rarely addressed experiences beyond the physical.

AntiCancerClub was her antidote, a platform that gave voice to cancer's unspoken topics (social isolation, fear, spiritual inquiry, and the shifting nature of friendships). Investors followed and the project gained momentum only to suffer devastating legal and financial blows culminating in the loss of her intellectual property and her house.

With no place to call home, Pat set out on a road trip.

The much-needed change of scenery became a perspective-shifting project that eventually morphed into CancerRoadTrip. If she could find healing on the road, why couldn't she recreate that environment for others?

But nothing is easy. Outside forces have, once again, forced Pat to idle in place, this time in the form of a travel-restricting pandemic.

Episode 108. "We will get through this. It does require being innovative. It does require, you know, really, really being clear about what you want. But that's a beautiful thing because it allows you to focus on only that and not what you were told you should want."

~India Jackson, brand, marketing & visibility specialist

India Jackson is in the business of giving companies and solo entrepreneurs permission to be themselves. As CEO of brand agency Flaunt Your Fire and host of a podcast by the same name, India busts people out of their marketing ruts by providing strategies to connect their inner motivations with their brand's external actions.

"Visibility," says India, "is a two-way street." Without proper guidance, the vital connection between brand and audience can get wobbly. And that's during the best of times. Throw in a pandemic (a recession! social crisis!) and suddenly the entire foundation crumbles under fuzzy social media goals or tepid convictions or engagement oversights.

As dire as these issues seem, they're fixable if the entity in question is willing to go deep. "Creating a connected community is a lot easier when you're able to go beyond the surface."

India's got tips to help us get started with tweaking our message or embarking on full scale introspective brand analysis, including simple tactical upgrades to try like a brilliant IG hack for keeping track of connections!

Right now, the universe seems to be sending us a clear message: Now is the time to transform the brand/audience relationship. India's expertise can help us turn prefab monologues into meaningful conversations.

P.S. India also co-hosts and co-facilitates Pause on the Play podcast & community with Erica Courdae from episode 106 -- Collaborate with other leaders in a safe space to support diversity, equity + inclusion with intention..

Episode 107. I didn't have the words so I'm borrowing these shared by community members in She Podcasts.

We stand with our sisters from the WOC Podcasters led by Danielle Desir and crafted by Tangia Renee.

Their words below:

PODCASTERS FOR JUSTICE CAMPAIGN

Collectively, we have built engaged audiences that listen to our voices regularly, and with coordinated effort, we can combine OUR voices to take a STRONG stance against racism and police brutality.

We serve many audiences, but we can speak with one voice. One voice that does not mince words and demands justice.

We created this simple PSA for podcasters or any content creator to post and share in hopes that we can come together across digital spaces to support the work of activists on the front lines of change, who risk themselves daily to create a better world for us all.

Please join us in using your voice to take a stand and encourage action at this critical time by issuing the following statement on your podcast or other digital platform(s):

We are (podcasters/bloggers/youtubers/influencer/etc.) united to condemn the tragic murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor and many many others at the hands of police. This is a continuation of the systemic racism pervasive in our country since its inception and we are committed to standing against racism in all its forms.

We believe that to be silent is to be complicit.

We believe that Black lives matter.

We believe that Black lives are more important than property.

We believe that we have a responsibility to use our platforms to speak out against this injustice whenever and wherever we are witness to it.

In creating digital media we have built audiences that return week after week to hear our voices and we will use our voices to speak against anti-blackness and police brutality, and we encourage our audiences to be educated, engaged, and to take action.

Suggested Action Steps

1. Read this statement on your next show release and post the above statement and graphic to your social media feeds. (You can get the graphic from me in the show notes at http://www.thecreativeimpostor.com/107)

Episode 106. "Community is even more so important when people do feel disconnected physically. So it's still important to be able to figure out -- we are now virtual and even any of the in-person components are now kind of shifted -- So how can we make sure that nobody feels as though they're not included?"

~Erica Courdae, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion Consultant

Everything I knew about structure I've had to reframe, reexamine, re...structure over the last 5,000 weeks of shelter-in-place. Multiple times. There have been days in which my professional systems and personal habits have operated at next-level peakness*. Glorious stretches of productivity. Seemingly boundless hours high-vibiness*. And then…

The inevitable at-capacity crash. Chances are, you've wandered around in that fog yourself. Multiple times throughout the pandemic's never-endingness*.

Erica Courdae is a Baltimore-based, multitalented mother and entrepreneur who's navigating the deep end of uncertainty with realistic optimism and structures-in-progress (rather than hyper-aspirational, GOOPiness).

As a salon owner, creator of the podcast Pause on the Play, and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) consultant she's feeling her way through the process of managing professional and personal expectations.

What does "safety" look like IRL for a salon owner? How does a DEI consultant convey her message in an exclusively virtual environment? What the heck does homeschooling a kindergartner and a second-grader look like? How does self-care exist now that outlets for simple pleasures are off-limits?

*terms created to mildly amuse in week 5,000 of lockdown - it's come to this.

Episode 105. "Getting dressed is a conversation with ourselves before it's a conversation with anybody else."

~Nicole Otchy, personal stylist, branding consultant, podcaster

What's your wardrobe style?

That question can short circuit the finely-tuned minds of otherwise competent people. Throw in a pandemic with its whiplash-inducing pivot to online all the time meetings or events and you've got a recipe for closet calamity.

Performed without context, all the recent Kondo-izing or late-night online buying binges can add up to a closetful of clothes but no strategy for creating outfits that project a sense of the person behind the brand.

Enter Nicole Otchy, personal stylist, personal branding consultant, and host of The Self Styled Podcast, a show helping listeners unlock their personal style. Yes, before you say anything, it's Nicole's firm belief that everyone has style.

Things get complicated, however, when confidence gets hijacked by chatter. Conversations around how women "should" dress are mired in all sorts of "rules" - for our body type, our age, our career path or industry.

Everything's changed, seemingly overnight, and dressing can be an act of self-care right now. As the world shakes off its layers of pandemic pajamas, however, greater emphasis will be placed on virtual professional events and entirely revamped careers.

Nicole also foresees drastic shifts in shopping habits and as well as a greater emphasis on societal wellbeing. In other words, if you haven't given style much thought, now might be a great time to revisit how you intend to style yourself and your brand for the future.

Episode 104. "I will just reiterate to be kind to yourself and let's not continue to do grind culture right now. We don't have to be productive. And if you're not productive right now, you're doing it right."

~Sarah Buino, therapist, podcaster, speaker, founder Head/Heart Therapy

Ready for some virtual therapy? Truthfully, I'm casting a side-eyed glance toward anyone who, at this point in the pandemic, answers, "Nah. I'm fine."

And this is why I'm not a therapist.

But returning guest Sarah Buino, LCSW, CADC, CDWF, is and she's here to say it's fine if you're fine...for now. Whatever you need to do to support your mental health, to save your business, to care for your family, to get through these weird, exhausting days (weeks, months), is exactly what you should be doing.

As a fellow content creator and podcast royalty in her field, Sarah's life on the other side of the mic hasn't changed all that much. At Conversations With a Wounded Healer, she continues to connect with practitioners of various modalities, discussing the parallel paths of healing the self while caring for clients.

As host of Transforming Trauma, a podcast produced by The NARM Training Institute, she finds no shortage of topics to explore within the world of complex trauma.

As the owner of Head/Heart Therapy, however, Sarah's on the frontlines of the tele-health battlefield. Given the haphazard response to the pandemic by some of our institutions (looking at you, health insurance, banks), she's cautiously optimistic that the masses will galvanize, especially around the subject of tele-health, and change is gonna bleepin' come!

Until then, how about some tips from Sarah for preserving our mental health and a delicious smoothie recipe?

Episode 103. "People are very reticent to pitch themselves... Don't let the fear of rejection hold you back from putting yourself out there when you know you can be helpful -- when you really feel that inside of you."

~Cher Hale, director and founder at Ginkgo Public Relations

Raise your hand if you've experienced a new wave of creator impostor symptoms since shelter-in-place orders began. You're not alone.

When crisis strikes - world-wide and well outside our control - the brain turns up the volume on negative self-talk, making it next to impossible to pitch ourselves. We wonder about our ability to serve our communities. We downplay our hard-fought experience. We worry about appearing insensitive.

Stop it.

Cher Hale, owner of Ginkgo Public Relations, says your message still matters - now more than ever. Her advice for confused creative imposters? Stay in your lane no matter how compelling a similar creative's 180º pivot appears. Whether that means shifting to daily Facebook Live postings or putting your business on pause, stay genuine.

Ultimately, Cher reminds us that we've created something; we're experts at that! A crisis shouldn't radically alter our fundamental message or our ability to support the communities we've built.

Pitch your true self out there - when you're ready.

Episode 102. "I realized that when you do something with your hands or you are creative, you create something, you feel more satisfied, you feel more fulfilled."

~Ana Paz, visual artist, teacher & retreat facilitator

Want to stave off shelter-in-place boredom and re-energize your spirit? Ana Paz, a Romanian artist living in Bodensee, Switzerland, says creating art during COVID-19 is the ultimate act of self-care.

This episode isn't a study in productivity or even fine art. Instead, it's an invitation to return to something you once loved or engage in a new project.

The medium isn't important. Nor are the results. It's all about the process, says Ana, a lesson she shared with students via multi-day artists' retreats across Europe prior to COVID-19. Now, the pandemic has severely limited her ability to host offline, especially in nearby Germany and Northern Italy, so she's taken her inspiring creativity virtual, teaching free workshops and posting replays on YouTube.

That's not to say Ana hasn't felt the pull of a long bath or lazy afternoon of Netflix. She's given in to fluctuations in her mood and output, a direct result of pandemic fatigue. She's allowed herself the space to set aside goals in favor of recharging both physically and mentally.

Eventually, though, Ana points out that everyone reaches their Netflix or social media consumption limit. That's when the urge to create strikes. When it does, she recommends that we ignore perfectionism in favor of connection to that driving force. Consuming other people's work is easy. Creating can feel difficult at first.

Be kind to your art, follow your curiosity, and enjoy yourself.

Episode 101. "The one thing that I have been seeing is 'I haven't saved up' and the guilt around that. 'I don't have any emergency savings' and 'I haven't built it up' or 'Why did I get myself into all this debt?'...You need to let that go. Focus on the now and give yourself the grace that you're going to get through this."

~Jen Hemphill, certified financial counselor

Somewhere between the stress of planning for tomorrow and the distractions of paying for today lies the sweet spot of financial health. Jen Hemphill, a financial counselor and host of the podcast Her Dinero Matters, has helped countless people, myself included, confidently manage their money.

With her strong focus on the Latina community, Jen's committed to showing her clients how to thrive beyond their bottom line via coaching, public speaking engagements, and episodes of her show, including How To Be Financially Resilient.

In this episode, she shares some budgetary crisis management tips with the CI audience and insight into the entrepreneurial pivots she's making to increase her business resiliency.

COVID-19 has affected everyone's finances differently. Lost wages! Unexpected savings! Increased household spending! Lower incidental purchases! Whatever your situation, one aspect of money management has remained true: money is personal and it's emotional.

Episode 100. "Go, explore one of the episodes and really go into that story and just, you know, come out of it feeling like you just made a new friend. Even though you may have never, you MAY never meet them, you may never message them, but at least you know the struggles or the victories of someone else, which you know, you never know how it'll affect you and kind of drive you or inspire you. So that's it. I feel that's, that's the power of podcasting. Good storytelling."

~Edwin Ruiz, Technical Director, The Creative Impostor Studios

Happy 100! Thank you so much for joining me for the 100th episode celebration of The Creative Impostor podcast — I truly would not be here if not for you. Seriously, if my download numbers were 0 I would have quit this gig long ago.

I could not think of a better time to celebrate a huge milestone than RIGHT NOW.

I don't know about you, but I need it.

"I remember thinking that the title of this podcast was made just for me and remembered how soothing Andrea's voice was as a grounding element along with the background of mountains and farmland." ~Christina Dynamite, Podcast Listener, The Creative Impostor

I am so happy to share with you both the voices of some listeners, who have been following The Creative Impostor for a while AND the voices of The Creative Impostor team (yep — i have a TEAM! behind the scenes and they are amazing humans.)

But before we get there…

I want to share the experience of getting listener feedback and HEARING your voice. I've been asking for MONTHS for listeners to choose an episode title from the past 5 years and send a voice recording to me telling me in just a few minutes how that particular episode or title impacted your creative life and work. I got a few responses - 3 to be exact. And each time an email popped into my inbox with the subject line "episode 100" I would inhale, smile, and then my palms would get a little sweaty.

So I download the file and import it to my audio editing software. I see the visual waveform pop up on my screen and I click play. And it's like opening a completely unexpected gift that ends up being your favorite one — every single time.

"You need to get the guts to use your voice and go out and do something, and then that can be kind of hard and scary." ~Stephanie Breese, Editing Apprentice, The Creative Impostor Studios
