This is a special episode where I try to unpick those inner battles that so many of us quietly fight. Imposter syndrome, confidence, perfectionism, self-doubt. These aren’t just words; they’re real feelings that can shape and even hold back our lives, creatively and emotionally.

Today on the show, I’m peeling back the layers with special guest Sean Tucker to uncover the reality behind these challenges, opening up honest conversation about how they impact us and what we can do to reclaim our confidence.

This isn’t a show about quick fixes or easy answers. It’s about exploring what really happens beneath the surface, where feelings of inadequacy, comparison anxiety, and fear of failure often lie.

Whether you’re struggling with undervaluing your achievements or simply seeking ways to find peace with who you are, this conversation might help you see things refreshingly differently.

Also, today, your letters into the show about the subjects featured, plus the assignment for November set by Lynn Fraser and Jacquie Matechuk.

Links to all guests and features will be on the showpage, my sincere thanks to MPB who sponsor this show and the Extra Milers without whom we wouldn't be walking each week.
