Sure, meetings can happen as you lounge in slippers, but what about the challenges that come without the structure of an office?Join us in Episode 11 of The Imposter Sisters Podcast as we swap corporate chic for cozy comfort and kiss those gridlock commutes goodbye. As we swap tales from the front lines of remote work, we chat about the complex reality of a home office and the feelings of self doubt that can accompany feelings of isolation and near constant distraction. In this co-host chat, we open up about the solitude that can creep in without office chatter to shadow the freedom of a flexible schedule and how to stay on task amidst a pile of unwashed dishes and the latest Netflix binge temptation. Throughout the episode, we share personal anecdotes and expert tips on maintaining our (somewhat) professional persona
We're all guilty of having thousands of photos on our phones—snapshots of moments, memories, and let's be honest, a few too many selfies. But how often do we stop and think about the art of photography? The way a single image can tell a story, capture an emotion, or even shift the way we see ourselves?In this episode, we sit down with the incredibly talented Nicole Lapierre, a fine art photographer who has built a career capturing the essence of people, places, and moments. But her journey wasn't a straight path - she went from a neuroscience education to corporate life to picking up a camera and deciding to just go for it.We chat about:

Annnnnd....we're back! We dusted off our mics and shook off the holiday fog to bring you Episode 8, fresh off an extended January breather – which, let's be honest, was a bit more extended than we initially planned, but perhaps the perfect way to sum up this episode...where we are giving ourselves (and everyone else) permission for a slower, less scripted start to the new year.In this episode, we dive headfirst into the catch-22 of New Year's resolutions, imposter syndrome, and the realities of setting and (not) keeping those well-intended beginnings. Which begs the question, should imposters even make resolutions? And if so, what does it mean when we inevitably find ourselves watching those resolutions slip through our fingers, especially through the lens of our imposter syndrome?We chat about ditching the pressures of 'New Year, New You', in favour of a more forgiving approach while delving into the nuances of setting (or not setting) personal and professional goals, battling our inner imposter, and why it's perfectly okay to declare February (or March, or April) the real start of the new year. From the pitfalls of planning when you add ADHD into the mix, to the universal feeling of being utterly tired (our unofficial word for the year), we cover it all.Whether you're treading water with your resolutions, still trying to figure out your word of the year, or just here for a good time, we're right there with you as we navigate the choppy waters of early 2025.*********LINKS:You can find Alix Robinson and Colleen O'Dea on Instagram at @ImposterSisters and also at @everydayimbranding (Alix) and @queenofcurtains (Colleen).MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES:Nova Scotia Mental Health Crisis Line: 1-888-429-8167 [toll-free]Nova Scotia Mental Health Mobile Crisis Team: 1-902-429-8167Kids Help Phone: 1-800-668-6868 | Text CONNECT to 686868Talk Suicide Canada | Text 45645 | Call 1.833.456.4566 MUSIC CREDITS:Drawbridge Creative Ad Spot - Stock Music provided by tunestogo, from Pond5The Mellow Mug Ad Spot - Stock Music provided by AleXZavesa, from Pond5Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/impostersisters/ You can watch this episode on Youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/@impostersisterspodcast

On this episode of Imposter Sisters we chat with fellow podcaster Jess Clerk about her “Year of Confidence” project, its impact on her journey, and how she transformed into the ultimate hype girl. Inspired by Shonda Rhimes's "Year of Yes", Jess created the "Year of Confidence" project to try new things, find who she was... what made her Jess. When the year was up, she realized she wasn't done and with everything she'd learned in that 365 days... she simply kept on going with the solid knowledge that she no longer needed to be perfect... and had so much to share. As she gathered women around her, Jess built an online community, "Selfish Sisterhood", that has grown to include both events and retreats. In fact, if you're on a journey to embrace your authentic self and connect with incredible people, check out the two-day "Speak Up!" conference happening early October in Halifax.We chatted with Jess about her 10-10-10 theory, ditching being perfect, boosting others up, helping and serving like-minded women, being broken, meditating, breathwork, realizing you aren't alone, authenticity, and more. Jess Clerk exudes LOVE. She's bright, lively, warm, kind... and makes you feel ABSOLUTELY AMAZING by simply being in her light. **********The Imposter Sisters are truly thrilled to have Jess in our circle and look forward to collaborating together soon! ********** Welcome to our sisterhood Jess!

On this episode of Imposter Sisters, Alix brings another family member to the mic as we introduce you to her sister, Erica Thompson. Erica lives in the NWT and is an award winning educator and consultant working with Indigenous Youth. Erica has certainly felt Imposter Syndrome through the years. In the early days of teaching, she knew she didn't know everything she needed to know as anyone new to a teaching career would feel. She found her place creating innovative and amazing land-based programs for her students and in 2017, was awarded The Prime Minister's Award for Teaching Excellence.Erica currently consults with the school board to help build programs that are authentic to the Indigenous community. Our conversation with her was completely fascinating as Erica talks about what she has to offer, her experience, and her questions about whether or not she's the right person to hold this position of authority.We chat about the need for community through celebrations and through tough times, how Erica re-energizes through “chamber days”, what she's learned and loved about living up North, and about being embraced and welcomed into a community she now calls home. **********The Imposter Sisters podcast is hosted by two self-proclaimed "fake it 'til you make it" experts, Colleen O'Dea and Alix Robinson, as they discuss and analyze the ups and downs of feeling like frauds while navigating through their professional and personal lives!Please enjoy and be sure to share with the imposters in your life!**********LINKS:You can find Alix Robinson and Colleen O'Dea on Instagram at @ImposterSisters and also at @everydayimbranding (Alix) and @queenofcurtains (Colleen)…or, often in person @themellowmug.MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES:Nova Scotia Mental Health Crisis Line: 1-888-429-8167 [toll-free]Nova Scotia Mental Health Mobile Crisis Team: 1-902-429-8167Kids Help Phone: 1-800-668-6868 | Text CONNECT to 686868Talk Suicide Canada | Text 45645 | Call 1.833.456.4566WHAT KIND OF IMPOSTER ARE YOU?Here are a few quizzes to try!https://www.everywoman.com/my-development/quiz-there-are-5-kinds-imposter-syndrome-which-one-yours/https://www.grammarly.com/blog/imposter-syndrome-quiz/MUSIC CREDITS:Drawbridge Creative Ad Spot - Stock Music provided by tunestogo, from Pond5Every Day I'm Branding Ad Spot - Stock Music provided by wolfgangwoehrle, from Pond5The Mellow Mug Ad Spot - Stock Music provided by AleXZavesa, from Pond5**********Imposter Roster:The Imposter Roster, a Live Podcast and Networking event!October 22nd, 6pm at The Mellow MugFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/impostersisters/ You can watch this episode on Youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/@impostersisterspodcast

Jen Warrington, owner of The Fusion Group, joins us at the mic to talk about how she “figured it out" and created a career that she's truly proud of.Our convo starts with being sport's moms and raising children then moved into chatting about Jen's life as a career recruiter with The Fusion Group… helping people find their path from their passions.We chatted about “formal education”, assumptions we make about other people's' lives and the baggage they carry, the experience we gain simply from living, what determines “success”, the pressure to choose the “right path”, and more about raising children which left us completely lost in conversation.When we found our way back, we opened up about Imposter Syndrome and the fact that Jen Warrington falls into the Soloist category. She's smart, she's driven, and she's playing by her own set of rules.Does Jen have Imposter Syndrome?

If Jen Meza has proven anything to the folks around her, it's that she knows how to PIVOT! Jen was working full-time in her dream job and part time as a local influencer as the pandemic hit... unfortunately, that dream job bit the dust and Jen was left with her head spinning. Jen used her creative talents and got to work putting together the Our Best Nova Scotia travel journal, an Etsy shop for woven hangings, and courses in vision boards... realizing she had a creativeness she could share with others.Jen continues her creative, entrepreneurial work and is constantly looking at new projects. She's a phenomenal influencer who works with brands as she showcases "real life" as a busy mom of two. Was Jen our first guest or our last ? Basically, we've sandwiched a season full of podcasts with Jen both opening and closing the season and once we got through a giggle fit, we were inspired to learn what makes Jen tick.The Imposter Sisters podcast is hosted by two self-proclaimed "fake it 'til you make it" experts, Colleen O'Dea and Alix Robinson, as they discuss and analyze the ups and downs of feeling like frauds while navigating through their professional and personal lives!Please enjoy and be sure to share with the imposters in your life!**********LINKS:Jen Meza can be found on Instagram @settlingforgreat.

Episode 8 – The Confidence Booster with guest, Jenn JohnsonIf you've ever searched for a spray tan artist in Halifax, you've likely heard of Jenn Johnson from Tan On The Run Halifax. With over 6000 spray tans and 8 years' experience, Jenn is one of the top master spray tan artists in the city. But she hasn't always been. It all started because she was stressed, burnt-out and unfilled in her corporate job and as a result struggling with her mental health. A change was necessary and so she jumped into spray tanning full time and figured things out as she went. What started off as a side hobby for Jenn has bloomed into a busy, full-time, fun and rewarding business.Jenn chats with us about her journey from corporate life into entrepreneurship, how she weathered a global pandemic, the adventures of becoming a new Mom and what she's learned along the way. It's no wonder that she identifies as a Superhuman!

After graduating from Graphic Design at NSCC, Cassy began working in her field and as a side hustle, started designing and posting cards on Etsy that were so popular, they were soon picked up on Buzzfeed and HuffPost! While Cassy definitely has a sarcastic sense of humour, she's quite lovely and has a rather soft demeanour in person…quite different from what you'd think based on her CURSY CURSY F-BOMB CURSY products! Cassy shares her journey of building her company, Classy Cards, to where it is today - in 250 different shops and shipping to multiple countries through her online orders. In this episode we chat about collaborations, supporting other entrepreneurs, feeling like an imposter at times (especially around actually “running a business” when you're an artist), the difficulties of having to “put your face on social media” to promote your products, and pushing through feeling like you need to do it all yourself before finally asking for help.
