5: Imposter Syndrome & Doing It for the Plot - I Accidentally Joined a Cult
from Losing the Plot · host Ashleigh Simonot
This week it’s just me, myself and I…getting honest about imposter syndrome, creative freelancer panic, and that deeply unsettling era of life once your frontal cortex fully develops and you realise, oh… I’m actually responsible for myself now. We’re talking about navigating your late twenties, career anxiety, feeling behind, and the delusion required to keep going anyway. Plus, I share about the time I accidentally joined a cult (I was young, OK?), the art of yearning (a personality trait at this point), my nemesis of the week, and a truly offensive Rotten Tomatoes score (hear me out). If you’ve ever felt like you’re Losing the Plot but also weirdly becoming more yourself at the same time, welcome. You’re in the right place! This week we’re chaotic but self-aware - the perfect mix.
