Imposter Sisters Alix Robinson & Colleen O'Dea

Living in Truro with her one-eyed chihuahua, Michelle McCann has embraced small town living like a champ.

Owner of Bold and Italic, Michelle is a marketing and social media entrepreneur. Because of the similarities in our careers, the three of us had a fabulous chat about working in this digital landscape including social media frustrations and the imposter syndrome that goes along with it.

We chatted about the community that social media provides us and the friendships we’ve gained from those on-line connections. A community we’ve all relied on during tough times in our lives. We talked about being hard on ourselves, car tears, twitter karaoke, grief, therapy, perfectionism, and one-eyed dogs.

As a special treat from Alix… we suggest you listen allllllll the way to the very end!!!

What do salsa dancing, treading water, traffic lights, banking, and white space have in common?  Well... Dr. Ashley and the absolute best analogies imaginable! 

Dr. Ashley Margeson, a naturopathic doctor with Cornerstone Naturopathic and podcaster at The Superwoman Code,  joined us on the mic for our second Imposter Roster live recording and networking event. With over two dozen audience members in attendance (you can hear their muffled laughter at times), Dr. Ash kept the room captivated with her knowledge on women’s health and her ability to make it all understandable. 
In this episode we spend a lot of time chatting on Burnout and focusing on the relationship between Burnout and Imposter Syndrome... how to recognize it, when to seek help, how to deal with it, and so much more!

Welcome to the Sisterhood Dr. Ashley... and truly, thank you for the amazing information and a fabulous live event!

For International Women's Day, the Imposter Sisters were invited to host a conversation about Imposter Syndrome, finding our voices, and speaking up. The presentation was so well received that we decided to do a Bonus Episode to chat about what we've discovered from our guests (and ourselves) since starting this podcast.

Not only that, but we've turned our presentation into a self-led course and we welcome you to sign up! Well... we welcome you to sign up for our email list so when we finally have it all put together, we'll send you the information!!!

So, sign up HERE!

Also, we're hosting another Live Podcast and Networking event on April 14th with Dr. Ashley Margeson that you don't want to miss. For tickets, click this link! 

Thanks for listening, we truly love the conversations we're having with so many people on such an important topic.

Carrie Faulkner met with us mere hours before she was heading out on vacation... and we're thrilled she took the time. This positive, smiley, cheerful woman arrived for our episode, absolutely glowing... and not just because her skin is FANTASTIC!

Carrie is on career #3 and as the owner of Bello Day Spa, she loves working with women to help them find their confidence and in turn, is finding more confidence in her personal and professional life day-by-day. 

We chat about stepping out of your comfort zone, feeling judged online, filters, skin care, make-up, hype girls, being a single mom, relationships, new love, and more! (Yup... there's a new love in Carrie's life!)

While Imposter Syndrome pops up from time to time, Carrie lives by the mantra that "not everybody has to like me" and with that, she's able to live with more authenticity.

Ashley McInnis calls herself a ''Recovering Single Mom." At 22, she had her first child. Now, this mom of three boys (a 15 year old and two babes under 3), Ashley chats about the struggles around people pleasing and when Imposter Syndrome first appeared in her life... which was basically when she became a Mom! 

As an Imposter Syndrome "Soloist", Ashley wants to "do it all" in an effort to prove to others, and herself, that she can... something she's working on!

While pregnant with her third child, Ashley was let go from her job and quickly made the decision, one she'd been tossing around for awhile, to start her own Public Relations company. amPR is Ashley's fourth child! She loves helping brands tell their stories in an authentic and meaningful way... the same way she lives her life.
