    S3E5: Mystic Madness with Marilyn

    Y'all. This episode is your pragmatic, lawyer friend's worst nightmare. We are going deep into the mystic with Marilyn who is launching her own birth chart, astrology, and mystic reading business virtually! We learn so much about astrology, it's origins, ourselves, why Annie should never be invited to your reading, 'dem haterz', and so much more. We hope you enjoy hearing how astrology can help you conquer imposter syndrome, or at the very minimum just give you some food for thought in what is otherwise a very serious world. It helps that Marilyn could have also been a comedian had she not chose the mystic route because sis can make ya laugh! ***GET 15% OFF YOUR FIRST READING WITH MARILYN How: DM us on Instagram @greatimposterspodcast or shoot us an email greatimposterspodcast@gmail.com and we will connect you with her!

    S2E3: Heather Davey Fusco with @PrissandVinegar

    As your lovely host Joelle put it, Heather is both adorable and oh so wise. Your hosts really enjoyed this conversation with Heather about the imposter syndrome she encountered on her journey from corporate lawyer to lifestyle tastemaker. Joelle and Annie put this guest to work in helping them come up with their own personal branding and elevator pitches. Joelle met Heather at an event and was immediately awestruck by her clear, concise brand and point of view. That's hard to find these days and it's even harder to cultivate without imposter syndrome feelings here and there! We hope you enjoy.

    S2E13: A little bit of religion part 2 with LDS member and massage therapist Jess Funke

    Oh mannnnnn we loved this episode. Not only has Jess Funke seen Annie and Joelle naked, but she is also the most talented massage therapist known to man. Talk about imposter syndrome - interviewing someone who knows about that mole you probably need to get checked out. But in all seriousness, Jess is an amazing human that we had on to talk about imposter syndrome in the massage biz as well as being a member of the Church of Ladder Day Saints in the South. You may know them as Mormons, but we get to the bottom of that on this episode, too! We loved chatting with this wise, fun, vulnerable human.

    S2E12: RELIGION IMPOSTER SYNDROME

    There are two things you're not supposed to talk about - religion and politics. Today, America will be talking about politics on this national election day, so we thought we'd drop an episode on religion. That's we do here on The Great Imposters - have the conversations you're having in your head out loud and on the couch! But in all seriousness, we wanted to talk about everyone's religious journeys and how so many times the religions we are born into or brought up in perpetuate imposter syndrome. We also wanted to talk about the ways in which people might feel like an imposter when trying to practice their faith or join a religious community. We also thought it might be fun to bring in some research and data around how religious Americans are feeling currently and what that might mean about cultural shifts in society. We hope you enjoy and have fun! Follow us on Instagram and TIkTok: @greatimposterspodcast

    Motherhood Part II: The 1,2,3+ kid family structure and staying at home versus working

    Your hosts, Joelle and Annie, dive into the assumptions that society puts on families based on the amount of kids they choose to have in addition to the realities they know of each type of family. They then dive into a topic that they refer to as the 'elephant in society' - staying at home versus working in motherhood. They dive into this nuanced topic head first, trying not to avoid the awkward realities while giving the topic the breadth and detail it deserves.
