Summary: <p>Rachel Davis joins Louise as a special guest this week for a fascinating mindset discussion.. Rachel is an artist, a practicing psychologist, and a creativity coach, making her especially qualified to discuss this week's topic - imposter syndrome. First identified in 1978, this is a psychological pattern in which an individual doubts their accomplishments and has a fear of being exposed as a "fraud." Imposter syndrome can be pervasive (affecting all areas of your life) or situational (for example, only arising when you have your own gallery show or the first time you book a stand at an art fair) but it is estimated that 70% of the population has experienced it at some time. Rachel and I discuss our own experiences with imposter syndrome, debate whether artists are especially vulnerable to it, and share our strategies for overcoming the issue when it arises for you. </p> <p><strong>Mentioned</strong></p> <p>Rachel Davis art and creativity coaching:<strong> </strong><a href="https://www.racheldavisstudio.com/">https://www.racheldavisstudio.com/</a></p> <p>Rachel's psychology website: <a href="http://www.drruthkalb.com/">http://www.drruthkalb.com/</a></p> <p>ICB Building (regular open studio events): <a href="http://icbbuilding.com/">http://icbbuilding.com/</a></p> <p><strong>Sign up for our newsletters at:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://www.alicesheridan.com/podcast">www.alicesheridan.com</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.louisefletcherart.com/for-artists/podcast/">www.louisefletcherart.com</a></p> <p>Submit a question at <a href="https://anchor.fm/dashboard/episode/bit.ly/artjuicepodcast">bit.ly/artjuicepodcast</a></p> <p>Buy us a coffee at: <a href="https://ko-fi.com/artjuice">https://ko-fi.com/artjuice</a></p> <p><strong>Follow us on Instagram:</strong></p> <p>@alicesheridanstudio</p> <p>@louisefletcher_art</p> <p><strong>Credits</strong></p> <p>"Monkeys Spinning Monkeys" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License</p>
