#46 - How to Deal with Imposter Syndrome
Today's episode is a very real and very honest one (I mean they all are but this one just feels a bit more vulnerable). After celebrating my one year business anniversary, and even during the party if I'm being honest, I was experiencing some major imposter syndrome. I kept thinking to myself, "what if I'm really not all that successful and people are going to find out?" or "are people even having fun or are they here just to support me?". These thoughts are normal, human thoughts but I had to step back and remember that I AM successful. I deserve to be here. The party was a blast for everyone but even if someone wasn't having fun, I had to realize I'd done the most to make it a good experience and their happiness was not my responsibility. In today's episode, I give you a little life update, talk about imposter syndrome and how to deal with it, and how to honour your emotions without dwelling on them.
Business Branding Portraits
As a portrait photographer - I love any kind of portraits! These sessions allow me to capture the essence of a person's brand and help them visually communicate their uniqueness through their body language, outfits, and expressions.
Here we have Megan Kamei, a coach who wanted to share her elegance, spirtuality and fun side through the photos. How do you think I did?
