Nobody Panic

Stevie and Tessa both have imposter syndrome to varying degrees, and they’ve both done research to try and kick the habit. Or rather, as they discover, ACCEPT the habit and stop said habit from taking over your life and holding you back. You’re meant to be where you are! Own it! Go into that meeting with confidence. Don’t let opportunities freeze you with fear. You can do it!  Recorded and edited by Naomi Parnell for Plosive Productions. Photos by Marco Vittur, jingle by David Dobson.

Want to say something more than “I like that” when you look at art? In this BONUS EPISODE Stevie and Tessa talk to artist/comedian/podcaster Annie McGrath about how they can sound more cultured in art galleries, what classicism is and if it’s OK to think Picasso is “a bit too much”. You’ll come out of it feeling very reminiscent of the 16th century (just one of the examples of things you can say to sound clever).  Follow Annie McGrath on Twitter: @AnnieMcTweet and Instagram: @mcgrath.annie Listen to the Secret Artists Podcast with Annie McGrath: play.acast.com/s/secretartists and follow on Twitter:@secretartpod Annie's Online Recommendations: Isolation Arts School: https://www.instagram.com/isolationartschool/?hl=en Artists Support Pledge: https://www.instagram.com/artistsupportpledge/?hl=en Recorded and edited by Naomi Parnell for Plosive Productions.
