The one where The Imposters finally learn what 'self care' means.

In episode 70 of The Imposter Syndrome Club, Jessamy is joined by Alice Imposter and returning guest, artist Carissa Karamarko. We chat about going all in, feeling like you’re always behind, relationship to the word ‘artist’, the relief of letting things go, choosing the quality of your problems, partnerships, balancing inputs & outputs, worrying about what your work day looks like to other people, not acknowledging progress as it happens, the seduction of busyness and newness, having the space to see the big picture, mindset shifts vs opt-outs, the binding nature of gossip, all-girls schools, preparing young people for the real world, and the value and limitations of old friendships.

In this episode we time travel all the way to January to give you this great chat with Natalie Katona from the To All The Men I've Tolerated Before podcast.

We chat cat names, talking in movies, covid silver linings, self-imposed barriers, starting a podcast with no experience (LOL relatable), fear keeping you creative-adjacent, middle-school plays, getting the acting bug, self image, podcasting as storytelling, managing friendships with professional partnerships, Days Of Our Loves, Fiona the Hippo, the safety in believing you’re never the expert, being a cock-block to your own healing, being ok with being bad at stuff, imposter syndrome and dating, fluid sexuality, Encino Man, and Gen Z saving us all.

(For those playing at home, we did eventually find Encino Man and it was wonderful)
