In episode 70 of The Imposter Syndrome Club, Jessamy is joined by Alice Imposter and returning guest, artist Carissa Karamarko. We chat about going all in, feeling like you’re always behind, relationship to the word ‘artist’, the relief of letting things go, choosing the quality of your problems, partnerships, balancing inputs & outputs, worrying about what your work day looks like to other people, not acknowledging progress as it happens, the seduction of busyness and newness, having the space to see the big picture, mindset shifts vs opt-outs, the binding nature of gossip, all-girls schools, preparing young people for the real world, and the value and limitations of old friendships.

We cover diary fuck ups, spelling fuck ups, file deletion fuck ups, not getting it in writing fuck ups, how you respond to other people’s fuck ups, and importantly - how do you learn and grow from your fuck ups and be honest about what you need.

In the second episode of our ‘Alice Imposter’ mini-series, Jessamy sits down with her pal of 25 years, comedian, writer and producer Andy Balloch.
We chat about inviting the bull into the china shop, the funniest joke in history, the relationship with an audience, balancing serious subjects with silliness, growing, learning and doing better, unlearning our social conditioning, growing up gay in Australia, running out of time, comparing yourself to Chris Hemsworth, the preciousness of time, feeling cheated out of time, the importance of representation, fighting for a seat at the table, where great ideas come from, the structure of a show, building a set, and being old.

In our first mini-series of ‘Alice Imposter’ episodes, Jessamy sits down for a chitty-chat with the brilliant Dr Marion Piper.
This chat covers sobriety and being “sober-curiousity”, the drinking culture in Australia, being honest with ourselves and others about how we feel about our relationship with booze, personal development, social lubrication and connection, what the research says, shifting into a new version of you, the value of doing less rather than more, avoiding things that threaten your identity, transferring your loves, how belief becomes identity, dissecting your experiences to understand what you value and crave, the twisted cultural narrative, being afraid to be a beginner, sitting in uncertainty, rebelling against yourself, having a support crew, focusing on how alcohol makes us feel, outsourcing decision making, the hardest bit being just not doing it, being terrible at editing, being confronted with presence, setting expectations and controlling what you can, and that it’s actually none of your business what’s coming for you… so find comfort in the unknown.

In this PACKED interview with Jaz Designs (aka Your Pricing Queen) Jessamy chats with Jaz about the one thing that makes most creatives squirm in their seats - money, honey.
We chat about how a rising tide lifts all boats, not devaluing work just because you enjoy it, the myths of the starving artist and work/life balance, resting in your own way, the power and detriment of going all-in, feeling creatively inspired by running a business, identity shifts, confidence coming from mind shifts and information cultivation, you’re not “asking for money” - you’re letting them know the ticket price, you are giving - not taking, the importance of information gathering, client red flags, creating processes and checklists, boundaries, worth vs value, businesses exist to make money (the client’s AND YOURS), your self worth is not tied to what you create, quantifying outcomes not creativity, imposter syndrome and comparison, reframing imposter syndrome as a sign you’re trying something new, saying yes when you know it should have been a no, resentment pricing, FAFs (fuck around fees), being a service provider and advisor, not an employee, white label situations, taking a problem-solving lens, cheese puns, pro bono work, reciprocal value, being big enough to serve someone but small enough to know them, everything is currency - you just need to get creative with it, collaborating with clients, and how working together builds mutual respect.
