The Creative's Guide to Overcoming Imposter Syndrome
with Flor Blake
In the wise words of Erykah Badu, "I am an artist and I'm sensitive about my sh*t." For many creatives, that sensitivity leads us into the dark realms of Imposter's Syndrome where our potential goes to die.
In this episode, I am talking with Flor Blake, celebrity and personal brand photographer, to help you resurrect your confidence and manifest your vision.
With an impressive portfolio that includes luminaries like Michelle Obama and Gloria Stefan, Flor has built her career through relationship building and networking. But it hasn't always been a smooth ride. She has faced her fair share of challenges, including the imposter syndrome and the impact of the pandemic lockdown on her extroverted nature.
Flor and I dive into worthiness, self-love, and confidence-building strategies. Join us as Flor shares her journey of self-discovery and growth, overcoming limiting beliefs and finding her own voice in the world of photography. If you're looking for tangible tips on how to step into your fullest potential while being real about all the pitfalls dips and trips along the road, then this episode is for you.
