The Imposters Club

Episode 4

Notes on Imposter Syndrome, White Dresses, and Feminism

Welcome to the Imposters Club, a podcast helping you fight the voice in your head telling you that you aren’t good enough, brought to you by almost-thirty-something best friends, Sinéad Kennedy Krebs and Melissa Murdock.

In our fourth episode, Sinéad and Melissa discuss the ways in which planning a wedding can induce imposter syndrome, from familial expectations to bridal beauty, and how wedding traditions clash with feminism.

We’d love to hear your stories of feeling like an imposter, so email us at  theimpostersclub@gmail.com and each episode we’ll be sharing some on the podcast.
