Podcasts about imposter syndrome

What if the loss you're carrying doesn't have a name — no death, no disaster, just a quiet, persistent ache that something was always missing? In this episode of Joy Lab, we'll look at Gate Four of our grief series: What We Expected But Did Not Receive. Drawing from Francis Weller's The Wild Edge of Sorrow, we'll explore the grief that comes from never being fully welcomed, seen, or celebrated for exactly who you are — a loss so subtle it often masquerades as personal failure. This episode offers a deeply compassionate and scientifically grounded look at why so many of us feel vaguely unfulfilled and how we can actually do something about it. Spoiler: it starts with grieving what you were owed. This episode is part of a 10-part series on grief.

Something alchemical. It transmutes the lead of our devastation into the gold of connection. Our own compassion is activated. Our souls are soothed. The narrow circle of our private pain expands and we recognize that we belong to each other. We take our rightful place in the web of interbeing and find refuge." -Mirabai Starr Beckes & Sbarra, Social baseline theory: State of the science and new directions. Access here Beckes, et al.

Webinar by signing up here:register.boldbrush.com/live-guestLearn the magic of marketing  with us here at BoldBrush!boldbrushshow.comGet over 50% off your first year on your artist website with FASO:FASO.com/podcast---For today's episode, we sat down with Kim Lordier, a California-based pastel artist, mom, and former flight attendant whose deep love of nature and travel strongly influences her landscape work. She began drawing and painting animals as a child, started earning money from pet portraits as a teenager, and later experienced a major turning point in 2001 when she saw a plein air demonstration and committed to painting from life. Influenced by early California and American impressionists, Kim focuses on value, shape, and expressive color, and credits key workshops—especially learning notan and studying with mentors like Skip Whitcomb—for sharpening her compositional and color skills. She speaks candidly about her longstanding struggles with negative self-talk and imposter syndrome, and how learning to detach from the “preciousness” of finished paintings and embrace the process has been her biggest creative “aha” moment. On the business side, Kim emphasizes professionalism, honoring gallery relationships, and balancing what she loves to paint with what sells, while accepting that each artist's journey and “ladder” is unique. She advises aspiring artists to trust their instincts, avoid unhealthy comparison, respect the people working behind the scenes in the art world, and remember there is always another canvas to paint. Finally she tells us all about her upcoming shows and workshops!Kim's FASO site:kimfancherlordier.comKim's Social Media:instagram.com/klordierart/facebook.com/kim.lordierBob Newhart's "Stop it!"vimeo.com/97370236

In this episode of the Travel Agent Achievers Podcast, Ros is joined by Christine Corcoran, confidence coach and best-selling author of Turn Impostor Syndrome into Your Superpower. Together, they explore why imposter syndrome shows up so strongly for experienced professionals, particularly travel advisors navigating pricing conversations, client objections, leadership and growth. Rather than trying to eliminate fear, Christine reframes imposter syndrome as a signal that you are stretching beyond your comfort zone. This episode dives into the role language plays in confidence, how fear is wired into the brain, and why confidence often comes after action, not before it. This is not about selling harder. It's about holding your value, trusting your expertise, and choosing growth over fear. In this episode: Why imposter syndrome often means you are growing How fear shows up in pricing and sales conversations The power of language in shaping confidence and decisions Why self-trust is built through evidence, not perfection How to reframe fear without becoming louder or more salesy Find the full episode details and show notes here:

Send a text“Finding your style” is the number one question we get asked, and the one we've asked ourselves for years. In this episode, we're diving into the real question behind it: what if it's not about finding a single aesthetic… but about uncovering your creative identity? We're celebrating the announcement of our new book, Follow Your Art, and sharing why we wrote it, what you'll find inside, and how the entire process changed the way we think about style, niching, and creative confidence. We talk about why committing to one aesthetic can feel like a cage, why effortless ideas are often your most authentic ones, and how your “secret sauce” is built from everything. We also unpack our take on “niching out, not down,” how to write an artist statement that actually feels like you, and how to market your work without feeling gross.All that and more when you listen to this episode:Why “How do I find my style?” might be the wrong questionThe difference between style and creative identity Why committing to one aesthetic feels terrifying (and limiting) The ice cream shop metaphor that reframes everythingHow to identify your creative “secret sauce” Why what feels effortless might actually be your magicThe role of childhood memories, relationships, and non-art influences in shaping your workWhat “niching out, not down” really meansWhat it was like to co-write a book over several yearsWhy creative work doesn't have to feel hard to be valuableAnd so much more! Mentioned in this episode:Follow Your Art (our new book!) https://goodtype.us/follow-your-art-book Free audiobook with pre-order https://goodtype.us/follow-your-art-book Goodreads https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/239923273-follow-your-art Connect with Katie & Ilana from Goodtype Goodtype Website Goodtype on Instagram Goodtype on Youtube We wrote a book!

In this episode of Compared to Who?, Heather Creekmore invites listeners to take a deeply-needed exhale from the relentless messages around body image and self-worth that the world sends our way. Building on the "Waiting for Weight Loss" series, Heather opens up about her own struggles with feeling valuable through fitness and body changes, and the letdown that follows when external goals don’t bring the internal peace we’re promised. Heather dives into the concept of "monetized insecurity"—the way industries profit from our feelings of inadequacy—and breaks down why finding your worth in God, not in weight loss or body perfection, is the only path that leads to real security and rest. You’ll walk away with: Practical breathwork exercises for grounding and relaxation A guided prayer for internalizing your true value An honest look at cultural lies vs. God’s unchanging truth about your worth Reflective questions to revisit whenever you need a reminder that you are already loved, worthy, and enough Key Question: Whose message is easier for you to believe: monetized insecurity or God's message of worth beyond what you measure?

Imposter syndrome is something we talk about constantly in veterinary medicine — but what if we've been thinking about it all wrong? In this episode of Choose People Love Pets, Dr. Brianna Armstrong and Phoebe Valdez explore a powerful reframe: what if imposter syndrome isn't a sign that you don't belong… but evidence that you're growing? Through personal stories — including Brianna's experience pitching her veterinary startup Skye Paws while still in vet school — they unpack how discomfort, self-doubt, and even anxiety often appear at the exact moments when identity expansion and leadership growth are happening. Together, they introduce the idea of “growth syndrome” — a framework for understanding why high-achievers and veterinary professionals often feel like imposters when stepping into new roles, leadership opportunities, or unfamiliar challenges. If you've ever wondered: “Do I actually belong here?” “What if they find out I don't know what I'm doing?” “Why does growth feel so uncomfortable?” This conversation offers a new perspective — and practical tools to help you reframe the experience. What You'll Hear in This Episode Why imposter syndrome may actually be a sign of growth The story behind Skye Paws and navigating first-time visibility How veterinary training shapes our relationship with competence and confidence The three elements of “growth syndrome”: Novelty Visibility Identity expansion Why waiting to feel ready keeps us stuck How to build confidence by trusting yourself through growth Practical strategies for navigating high-stakes new experiences Key Takeaways Confidence does not come before action — it comes from action. You don't feel like an imposter when you stay small. Growth often feels uncomfortable because your identity is expanding faster than your evidence. Leadership requires becoming a beginner again. Follow for more:  FB: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556480229406&mibextid=LQQJ4d⁠  IG: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/choosepeoplelovepets?igsh=MTVzZjc4ZHE4MWd2NQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr⁠  LI: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/company/choose-people-love-pets/⁠   

This episode is a special one for me: Steve Gadd.Steve is not just a great drummer. He is one of those rare musicians whose feel and sound are instantly recognizable. A few seconds in, and you know it's him. He has been a first-call presence on recordings and tours for decades, and somehow, he makes the most complex things feel relaxed and human. Spending time with him for this conversation was a real honor.We begin in the present. In 2026, Steve is still moving forward with curiosity and purpose. He talks about starting the year with the Love Rocks benefit in New York, touring Europe with Michael Blicher and Dan Hemmer, rehearsing and touring with Paul Simon, and heading out again with James Taylor. Later in the year, he is back with Simon Oslender and Will Lee, a project that clearly brings him joy. You can hear how much he values character, maturity, and the spirit of the bandstand.We trace the roots of his musicianship through his time in the Army Field Band during the Vietnam era. Daily chart reading sharpened his time, discipline, and mindset. It was not always fun, but it was formative. He also reflects on mentorship, from Stanley Street to John Beck, and how those teachers shaped not just his hands but his confidence and identity.Steve speaks candidly about insecurity and imposter syndrome, about how reading is a skill that fades without use, and how repetition is the real secret. No shortcuts. We also dive into sound, volume, and dynamics. He shares his thoughts on live versus studio playing, the challenges of modern stage volume, and why the best shows begin at a real level and let the music breathe.What stays with me most is his philosophy. It is not about ego. It is about service, supporting the song, making the artist comfortable, and being a good teammate. This conversation captures a legend who is still learning, still listening, and still chasing feel and sound in the purest way.Music from the Episode:I Gotta Try (Michael McDonald)On a Roll (Live) (Simon Oslender)September Grass (James Taylor)My Rival (Steely Dan)Thank you for listening.

“Imposter syndrome isn't the truth. It's fear wearing a disguise.”In today's episode of The BraveHearted Woman Podcast, let me speak directly to midlife women who are navigating change, identity shifts, and seasons of self-doubt. I dive into a challenge experienced by nearly 70% of people: imposter syndrome - that persistent feeling that your success isn't deserved or that you'll be “found out.”I explain how our brains resist change and why transitions in midlife can trigger insecurity, perfectionism, and feelings of unworthiness, especially for high-achieving women stepping into new roles or redefining their purpose after 40 or 50.In this conversation, I share:Why imposter syndrome often affects successful womenHow perfectionism and low self-esteem fuel feelings of inadequacyThe link between midlife transitions, menopause, identity shifts, and confidence5 powerful affirmations to reprogram negative self-talk7 practical strategies to overcome self-doubt and reclaim self-worthHow to separate feelings from facts and challenge limiting beliefsWhy wisdom, resilience, and confidence deepen in midlifeI encourage you to embrace your evolving identity, honor the life experience you've gained, and recognize that your skills, wisdom, and purpose remain powerful in every new season.Midlife is not a decline; it is a transformation filled with clarity, courage, and renewed purpose.If you are navigating change, rediscovering your voice, or learning to silence self-doubt, this episode will help you trust your journey and live bravely in midlife.Timestamps:0:00 - Intro2:27 - What is imposter syndrome?3:28 - 5 affirmations you need in midlife5:19 - The meaning behind feeling like a “fraud”6:42 - Who experiences imposter syndrome the most9:10 - How imposter syndrome manifests11:08 - The psychology behind imposter syndrome13:11 - How aging, menopause, and life transitions can trigger self-doubt15:18 - 7 ways to overcome imposter syndrome22:13 - How to take actionQuotations:“Change is certain, but the brain resists it.

Eine Hochzeit. Ein Portal. Ein Toast mit Trauma-Vergangenheit. In „Ko'Zeine“ wird aus einer vermeintlichen Entführung eine royale Zeremonie auf einem fremden Mond – inklusive Royal-Sealing-Mantel, arrangierter Ehe und einem Ritual, das verdächtig menschlich wirkt. Währenddessen kämpfen Caleb und Genesis auf der Erde mit Selbstzweifeln, Pre-Command-Ambitionen und einer Warp-Schnecke, die ganz sicher keine Sicherheitsfreigabe hatte. Wir sprechen über: – Pflicht vs. Identität – Imposter-Syndrom im Captain-Format – Portal-Technologie und Iconian-Vibes – Meteorschauer als Metapher – Warum Führung ein innerer Kampf ist – Und ob diese Episode inszenatorisch hält, was sie thematisch verspricht Ist „Ko'Zeine“ ein ruhiger Charakter-Deep-Dive – oder die bislang schwächste Folge der Staffel?

In this first episode of Hybrid Hangout, I'm telling the full story behind the last year of my life and business and why I'm done moving in silence. I spent way too long overthinking, spiraling about being seen, and waiting to feel ready, and this episode is really about what changed and why messy action is the only way forward.I talk about where I come from, what success actually looks like for me right now, and why I want this podcast to feel honest, helpful, and actually fun to listen to instead of performative or polished. You'll hear the behind the scenes timeline of opening and closing the studio, rebranding, partnership changes, burnout, rebuilding trust with my audience, and creating Hybrid Hub.There is also a real lesson in here. The biggest shift that has changed how I approach goals, consistency, and follow through is this: imposter syndrome asks “am I good enough?” but self confidence asks “what do people need?” If you take anything from this episode, I hope it's that reframe.We also get into a hot take on visibility and why most photographers are not stuck because they need more information. They are stuck because they are staying invisible behind preparation, planning, and perfectionism. Momentum only comes from doing.MEDIA RECOMMENDATION:I mentioned a video from Ali Abdaal that perfectly explains the mindset of treating life and business like experiments instead of permanent decisions.WATCH IT NOW FLOWERS: This episode's flowers go to the incredibly talented Devin Larson of Backcountry Bohemians.

Episode 10 opens in the long-running genre they've accidentally perfected — two grown men versus consumer electronics — as Michael explains how he revived his ageing Samsung “smart TV” (now “a bit of a nuff-nuff”) with a cheap HDMI streaming box bought from an Australian online retailer that “rhymes with Hogan”.  The thrill here isn't just 4K; it's the moral victory of upgrading the brain while keeping the body.  The upgraded TV then becomes a portal to two YouTube documentaries that send the pair (and us) into a warmly nostalgic British lane. One is an ARTE doc on Madness — “Princes of Ska” — which prompts Michael to re-fall in love with a band he rates as not just a ska novelty act, but an elite singles machine whose later pop craftsmanship deserves more credit than the pigeonhole allows. The other find is the real rabbit hole: John Peel's Record Box — an hour built around the late BBC DJ's stash of 142 singles kept separate from his famously vast collection (more than 100,000 records). The documentary hauls the box around to fellow travellers and famous fans — Jack White, Elton John, others — letting them rummage, remember and speculate on why those particular records were kept close.  Peel, it turns out, could contain multitudes: Sheena Easton's “9 to 5”, some Status Quo, a heavy White Stripes presence… and a special extra shrine for The Fall, who were apparently too important even for the box.  Then Brian takes the wheel for the episode's marquee music moment: Bob Dylan's Blonde on Blonde turns 60, marked with a concert at Tulsa's legendary Cain's Ballroom, presented by the Bob Dylan Center (sitting right next to the Woody Guthrie Center, because Tulsa is quietly running a curriculum).  Brian's spoken with the Center's director, Steve Jenkins, who teases an event titled Sooner or Later with a lineup that reads like an alternate-universe festival poster:  Naturally, they can't leave the album itself alone. They circle around what makes Blonde on Blonde such a gravitational object: the New York-to-Nashville recording shift, Al Kooper and Robbie Robertson in tow, and the snap-in brilliance of Nashville players like Charlie McCoy and Joe South.  Michael calls it the culmination of Dylan's ridiculous 18-month streak from Bringing It All Back Home through Highway 61 Revisited to Blonde on Blonde — productivity that makes modern “content schedules” look like a wellness day.  Song picks follow: Michael is unwavering on “Visions of Johanna”; Brian leans toward “Most Likely You Go Your Way (And I'll Go Mine)”, while also marvelling that Dylan had “Positively 4th Street” sitting on the bench, unused, like a spare masterpiece. There are lighter detours too: a surprisingly vivid discussion of a film built around stand-up comedy as therapy (Will Arnett, Laura Dern, John Bishop's life story, Bradley Cooper popping up in a minor role because he can), and then Brian's recommendation of Mackenzie Crook's Small Prophets — a title that briefly defeats Michael because he searches the wrong spelling and finds financial advice instead.  Once located, it lands hard: whimsy, sadness, small acts, and a specific episode-four moment that gets Brian teary without him wanting to spoil why. Michael flags the return of Gillian Welch & David Rawlings, apparently digging deep into the back catalogue (with a Guardian five-star review from Toowoomba), plus the pair's Grateful Dead-adjacent moves and upcoming US tribute tour. They also talk up Robert Finley, the 71-year-old, legally blind Louisiana singer with the late-blooming career arc (carpenter most of his life, first records in his 60s, produced by Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys), heading to Australia in May for intimate shows.  Finley's story lands like a parable for anyone who's ever thought they missed their chance. (Michael, who's finishing his own record — under the gloriously self-aware pseudonym Imposter Syndrome, album titled Oversharing with Strangers — certainly hears it that way.) Episode 10, then, is classic On The Record: a podcast held together by cable management, cultural memory, and the belief that the best stories are found when you stop pretending you have a plan.

In this episode of Do Good to Lead Well, I welcome Dr. Jacqueline Sperling, a clinical psychologist, assistant professor in psychology at Harvard Medical School, and the co-founder and co-program director of the McLean Anxiety Mastery Program at McLean Hospital to discuss her latest book, “Find Your Fierce: How to Put Social Anxiety in Its Place.”Motivated by long waitlists at treatment centers and the slow path many face toward accessing help for social anxiety, Jacqueline Sperling shares her mission: to offer practical, evidence-based tools that anyone can use, regardless of clinical diagnosis or age. She grounds her message in empowerment, emphasizing that anxiety is a universal emotion—sometimes adaptive, sometimes disruptive—but always manageable with the right approach.Major themes include: • Understanding Anxiety: Dr. Sperling defines anxiety as a forward-looking form of fear and reframes it as a resource that can help us prepare for life's challenges, provided we don't let it dominate our decision-making. • The Thoughts-Feelings-Behaviors Model: Our discussion breaks down how our internal dialogue, emotions, and actions interconnect. Techniques like “stop, drop, and roll” and identification of unhelpful thought categories (catastrophizing, shoulds, overgeneralizing) are brought to life through questions from the live audience. • Leadership and Team Dynamics: We explore how leaders can compassionately address anxiety in their teams, foster psychological safety, and model healthy boundaries, which are especially during disruptive times and organizational uncertainty.Check out this episode for an honest, caring invitation for how we can create lasting mental health hygiene: a daily, mindful practice to care for ourselves, as we pursue meaningful work and lead with compassion.What You'll Learn- How to flip the script when you always expect the worst.- How leaders can compassionately support team members stuck in negative thought cycles.- Strategies for dealing with imposter syndrome and perfectionism.- Practical tips for receiving feedback without defensiveness.- Ways to maintain resilience in uncertain, disruptive times.- The power of mental health hygiene.Podcast Timestamps02:15 Dr. Jacqueline Sperling's background04:07 Origin story of "Find Your Fierce" book05:48 Understanding anxiety vs. fear07:49 The three-component model (thoughts, feelings, behaviors)10:04 Stop, drop, and roll technique14:23 Managing catastrophizing in team members18:54 Addressing imposter syndrome23:01 Overcoming fear of speaking up in meetings28:08 Values-based anxiety management31:53 The "shoulds" and "musts" trap33:51 Receiving feedback effectively38:03 Managing team anxiety during disruption40:06 Addressing perfectionism44:40 Delegation and leadership anxiety48:33 Overgeneralizing dangers52:07 Mental health hygiene practicesKEYWORDSPositive Leadership, Managing Anxiety, Social Anxiety, Thought-Feeling-Behavior Model, Catastrophizing, Mindfulness, Imposter Syndrome, Perfectionism, Exposure Therapy, Behavioral Experiments, Self-insight, Mental Health Hygiene, Resilience, Stress Management, Reframing, Team Dynamics, Sleep Hygiene, Self-care, CEO Success

“Your feelings are real, but they're not reliable.” From Exodus 3, we're reminded that God calls ordinary people into extraordinary purpose. Even when insecurity, fear, and impostor syndrome try to speak louder than His voice. Just like Moses, we often make excuses: Who am I? I'm not enough. I don't know enough. What if I fail? I can't do this. But God isn't looking for perfection He's looking for surrender. He doesn't need our confidence, our eloquence, or our qualifications. He wants our obedience. Sometimes the very thing standing between us and God's calling is what we refuse to lay down. When God says “take off your shoes,” He's asking us to remove whatever separates us from Him: sin, fear, pride, insecurity, or control. God doesn't just send us, He goes with us. His presence leads. His name empowers. His promises sustain. His power makes the impossible possible. You are called. You are chosen. You are sent. Not because you're enough, but because He is.

I let myself be me when I write. I just made it sound easy. It is not. It comes down to confidence. It took me a long time – years, to get comfortable with being me on paper.

Jesse hosts the Learnings and Missteps podcast and introduces guest Maya McGlynn, a Pennsylvania-based construction influencer, writer, photographer, and fractional support partner who focuses on “the people behind the work.” Jesse gives an LnM Family shout-out to Bryce Ager for reviewing one of Jesse's construction trainings, and notes his business offers training, coaching, and consulting. Maya explains her passion for blue-collar stories comes from building relationships and bridging gaps between management and shop/field workers, emphasizing retention and the need for leaders to “give a shit,” not just attract more people into the industry. They discuss treating people well as foundational to solving construction's workforce challenges, rising interest in more human-centered workplaces, and how companies that only rely on pay raises and ignore relationships will be left behind.

In this episode, I'm joined by Simon Oslender, and I'm not exaggerating when I say his playing lit me up the first time I heard it: pure joy, but with real depth underneath. We talk about growing up in a deeply musical home, starting on drums, and the exact “big bang” moment when a John Mayall live DVD (and Tom Canning on Hammond B3) made Simon lock in on the organ for life.We get into Simon's early recording experiments, how he writes (often away from the instrument, grabbing voice memos before ideas disappear), and his relationship with theory—especially his favorite framing: theory shouldn't tell you what to do, it should explain what you're hearing. And then we go deep on the dream-team reality of All That Matters: recording with Steve Gadd and Will Lee and how that session turned into a tour, and what it takes to keep your head straight when your heroes show up fully prepared to play your music.Music from the Episode:On a Roll (Simon Oslender)In Good Hands (Simon Oslender)Cruisin' (Simon Oslender)Quite Logical (Simon Oslender)Thank you for listening.

Send a textWhat happens when elite performance ends—but the pain doesn't?In this powerful episode of Joey Pinz Conversations, Joey sits down with former All-American linebacker and two-time national champion Brandon Day to unpack the hidden cost of high achievement—and the unexpected path to renewal.Brandon opens up about life after sports, identity loss, chronic pain, and burnout that spiraled into some of his darkest moments. From sleeping on a deflated air mattress in Los Angeles to questioning his own worth, his story is raw, honest, and deeply human.The turning point came through applied neuroscience and neurotraining—work that helped Brandon eliminate pain, regain clarity, and rebuild his life from the inside out. Today, as a father of triplets and founder of Evolved Athlete, he helps lifelong athletes and high performers tap into flow states, restore nervous system balance, and perform without burning out.This conversation explores imposter syndrome, neuroplasticity, the brain's need for safety and predictability, and why consistency—not intensity—is the real edge.If you've ever felt stuck, broken, or past your prime—this episode will change how you think about performance, recovery, and what's possible next.

You know that strange, disoriented feeling when you've accomplished so much… and yet you know there's more? Not burnout. Not failure. Not dissatisfaction. But that subtle, unsettling identity shift that happens when you're stepping into your next level. In this episode, we're talking about reinvention — not the glossy, Instagram version — but the psychological shift that happens when you move from who you've been known for… into who you're becoming. Because here's the truth: imposter syndrome hits differently during reinvention. Not because you're unqualified. But because you're not fluent yet in the next version of you. We unpack: Why identity work always lags behind growth The grief that quietly shows up when you release a former version of yourself Why women tie worth to mastery (and how that keeps us stuck) How hustle culture makes reinvention harder than it needs to be Why community shortens the imposter syndrome phase How to create a "bridge identity" while you step into your next chapter Why belonging is claimed — not earned If you've been thinking: "Do I still belong here?" "Am I too late?" "Who am I to talk about this?" "Did I miss my window?" This episode is for you. You're not behind. You're not lost. You're becoming. And you don't have to reinvent alone.   Resources Mentioned In The Episode: Join the Free Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/linkedinsuccesstips  Learn more about The Visibility Salon: https://visibilitysalon.com   Magical Quotes From The Episode: "You're not uncomfortable because you're incapable.

I got to sit down with Alison Prestwood, an A-list bassist, singer, and bandleader whose playing has been anchoring records and stages for decades, and it felt like catching up with someone I should've known for years.We talked about her leap from Atlanta to Nashville in the early '90s, what it's like leaving steady work to chase the next chapter, and how those five-to-six-nights-a-week club years built the kind of chops and confidence that translate anywhere. Alison shares the winding path that led her into Nashville's session world (including a wild early moment overdubbing on a Ronnie Milsap master), and how hearing players like Glenn Worf and Michael Rhodes up close pushed her into that “forever climbing” mindset that great musicians live in.She also goes deep on her musical north stars: Paul McCartney, James Jamerson, Willie Weeks, Lee Sklar, and especially Carol Kaye, including an incredible story about spending a full weekend at Carol's house working on pick technique and soaking up stories and wisdom.From there, we get into the nuts and bolts: how Alison thinks about the difference between R&B feel vs. country feel, note length, subdivisions, and the “rules” you learn in Nashville, plus when to break them. She's also launching a brand-new Merle Haggard tribute band called We Are the Merle.We also talk about her time touring with Peter Frampton, how that gig came together, what it's like playing major stages (including the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame experience), and the weight and gratitude of watching a legend keep doing the work.And because Alison is also a fellow podcaster, we dig into her show “Hey, Good For You”, a funny, honest, and sharp look at life as a working bassist (and the absurd things people say to women musicians).It's part career map, part hang, part deep musicianship chat, and by the end, we basically agree this needs to be part one.Music from the Episode:Nadine (Is It You) (George Benson)Turning Waylon Down (Alison Prestwood)Austin (Blake Shelton)Beautiful Man (Alison Prestwood & Rodney Crowell)Thank you for listening.

My guest this week is Steven Salvatore, author of young adult romances like And They Lived…, No Perfect Places, and When Love Gives You Lemons. Steven's plan, when he was younger, was to be an artist… until a cruel art teacher crushed his dreams. But that set the stage for him to discover a passion for writing, and for exploring stories about young queer people in love.We'll have that interview in a moment. First a quick heads up that I'm planning a European book tour this spring and summer, where I'll be reading from my book Hi Honey I'm Homo!, as well as sharing clips from classic queer sitcom episodes. Plans for that are still coming together.

Send a textWhat happens when a successful career no longer fits who you are?In this episode of Joey Pinz Conversations, Joey sits down with Casey Berman, a former attorney who walked away from the legal world to build a values-aligned life—and now helps others do the same without blowing everything up.Casey shares the hidden pressures inside the legal profession, from burnout and billable-hour stress to identity traps that keep high performers stuck in the wrong room. Together, they unpack how transferable skills often go unseen, why “following your passion” can be misleading, and how clarity comes from understanding what you're actually good at.The conversation also goes deeper—touching on fear, imposter syndrome, parenting, health wake-up calls, AI's role in career transitions, and even the idea of “the Matrix” as a metaphor for modern identity. Casey offers practical, grounded frameworks for assessing strengths, making intentional shifts, and designing a life that supports both impact and well-being.If you've ever felt successful on paper but misaligned inside, this episode will challenge how you define success—and help you see new options hiding in plain sight. 

About a decade ago, Canadian musician Teagan Johnston was just getting her start in Toronto's music scene. As her career began to gain momentum and her circle of musician friends grew, she found herself wrestling with some unexpected emotions. She was thrilled to see her peers succeed, but she also started to wonder whether she truly belonged, and if it would ever be her turn. Those conflicting feelings became the inspiration for her latest single, Neon Schoolgirl. Teagan joins guest host Garvia Bailey in the Q studio to tell us how writing the song helped her confront and overcome her imposter syndrome.

We're exploring the second gate of grief from Francis Weller's framework: The Places That Have Not Known Love. Unlike the first gate (episode #249)—which dealt with more of the external losses—this gate turns inward to examine the parts of ourselves we've rejected, hidden, or banished in our need to belong. And this isn't about toxic positivity or pretending everything is fine. It's about integrating the messy, uncomfortable, angry, scared, "too much" parts of yourself—and discovering that when you love what you've rejected, it loses its grip over you.  p.s.

Do you struggle with imposter syndrome?     This syndrome has been defined as a "persistent inability to believe that one's success is deserved or has been legitimately earned as a result of one's own efforts, talents, skills, or gifts." I would also describe imposter syndrome as an ongoing feeling or belief that you're inadequate, not worthy, not good enough, and/or a "fraud" who's about to be find out.     Living with this kind of belief or negative undercurrent in your life can be painful. It can be paralyzing. It can keep you hidden away and playing small to avoid potential rejection, criticism, or judgment.     It also keeps you on edge, hypervigilant, anxious about how others are evaluating your performance or presence in the world... or evaluating your very worth and value as a person.     I can relate, because I struggled with imposter syndrome most of my adult life. It first reared its ugly head during my academic career many years ago, and stayed with me as I transitioned out of academia to do full-time spiritual work.      (Building a business from scratch - with NO business training or skills whatsoever! - and stepping out of the "spiritual closet" to do this work were not easy... I made many mistakes... which only fueled the already-existing imposter syndrome.)     Through a lot of inner work, especially in the Akashic Records, I've been able to shift my relationship to imposter syndrome to a degree where it no longer holds me back. It doesn't derail or prevent me from doing my work in the world, or showing up online, or teaching, or being vulnerable with others.      And, just as important, it no longer keeps me from ENJOYING my work fully!     Based on my own struggles and what I've found helps, I want to offer you 3 powerful mindset reframes in this episode of INNER WORK that will hopefully support you in moving beyond imposter syndrome as well.     Thank you for being here, doing your inner work, and leading the way for others with your light. It makes a difference! *** You can also watch this as a video episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/hzu3jbP511w Join my email community and get access to my free Akashic Records Mini Course + weekly newsletter: https://josephinehardman.com/akashic-records-intro/ Explore YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/@healer.josephine Follow on Instagram: https://instagram.com/healer.josephine Connect through my website: https://josephinehardman.com *** Music & editing by G.
