Imposter Syndrome (33)

Ever had the feeling you don't belong, you don't know what you're talking about, and you're not as good as other people say you are? Sounds a bit like imposter syndrome, and something most of us have experienced! Where does it come from? What triggers it? And is there anything we can do about it? Welcome to our podcast for all stitchers, embroiderers, textile artists and creative souls, where we have friendly informal conversations about what it actually means to be an artist working in textiles. Isobel and Gina are both practicing artists and tutors specialising in machine embroidery, but we’re still figuring it all out! We chat about combining the creative process with running a business and hope that you will find inspiration and support for your own creative journeys.
