Dealing with Imposter Syndrome
In this episode we'll be talking about reoccurring Imposter Syndrome.
Talking Points-1-5
- Thinking you’re not good enough
- Starting new project or venture in your business and the effect it has on you
- Living as if this is already your life and you are the person that you want to be
- Getting to the point you know what you’re suppose to do. Are you planning or executing?
- If you had a hundred cameras following you around everyday, you would have to be a certain person. Now take into account who are you to your social media audience. Would you be the most successful version of yourself? Take that into your every day life. Imposter syndrome will make you forget all of the people that you can help a long the way. The need to help others and be greater has to outweigh imposter syndrome

The lonely journey - why entrepreneurship can get lonely
In this episode, we reveal the winner of the Healing with Mila Roe Podcast. Also, we have some exciting news that we wanted to share with our #dayones. You'll hear our story which may be very similar to your own if you're just getting started in your creative entrepreneurial journey
Main points🎯
- No one really truly understands what it is that you actually do.
- You need to be ready to spend a lot of time away from friends and family in the beginning and to say “no.” There really isn’t a clock in clock out when you’re the boss.
- Being an entrepreneur comes with pressure. You’re the one responsible for all of the decision making, you’re the leader. You’re wearing multiple hats.
- Our story. When we first started YouTube no one understood the vision. Now Nickelodeon reached and they were watching us for a while. We have an editor.
- Understanding that no one is coming to save you. If it fails it was you. If it succeeds it was you. You will fail. It’s inevitable. Learn from it. With every loss, there’s a lesson.

The First Brick
What's up? This is our first podcast!
The first of many. We touch on how hard it is to just get started. That's why we named this episode "The 1st Brick". Not only does it signify getting started for our listeners but also for us. We've always wanted to start a podcast, but we also fell victim to procrastination and just not believing we were ready. As creators we know how hard it is to get started and we want to help you realize that you can do it. Just start today.
We appreciate you and believe in you!
