Episode 2 - Curse of the Impostor
Show Notes

Navajo mythology refers to a trickster known as Coyote. Creatives probably know this better as the Impostor, a trouble-making syndrome that sneaks about in our subconscious and tells us that we’re not good enough, or that we’re a fraud rather when it comes to artistic talent.

Some have a knack of ignoring Coyote, but others find Impostor Syndrome a constant challenge, to the point that amazing ideas remains hidden from the world because the artist is too caught up in how that idea will be perceived by the wider world.

So in this episode of the Survival Guide, we explore how Coyote affects creative productivity, how its influence may be affecting more creatives than ever because of pandemic restrictions, and how we can stay on track and have confidence in expressing ourselves creatively.

Still feel like an impostor? Remember that you're in good company with the likes of Maya Angelou and Albert Einstein.
