    The Imposters Club is back for season 6, helmed as always by Sinéad and Mel: two best friends figuring life out, one episode at a time. This week we're learning to lower our expectations in order to actually enjoy ourselves more. Mel's summer holiday dreams weren't quite the same as the reality, so we're letting go of the Insta-perfect highlight reels and letting ourselves find joy in the bloopers. And talking of bloopers – have you been watching And Just Like That? Unattainable wealth and overwhelming cringe aside, this season has offered us some interesting meditations on grief that seem to have been lifted directly from Sinéad's brain. We're taking a break so Sinéad can go on her honeymoon, so let's catch up in the Autumn!Thank you so much for listening and subscribing to another season of The Imposters Club.

    The Imposters Club is back for season 6, helmed as always by Sinéad and Mel: two best friends figuring life out, one episode at a time. This week we're doing it: we're officially backing ourselves at work. We're reflecting on everything we've learnt over the past 6 seasons - how Imposter Syndrome functions, how we can manage it and what our values are, and now we're putting it into practice. We're talking about figuring out what you need, making your business case (we know, we know), and managing that difficult conversation. Also, in a sentence we'd never thought we'd say: the Swifties are unionizing (please don't come for us). Where does the line between actively participating in a fandom and collective bargaining lie? And why are people applying the language of industrial action to the personal life of a 33 year-old woman?Thank you so much for listening and subscribing to another season of The Imposters Club.
