[INTERVIEW] Overcoming Imposter Syndrome as a content creator. Interview with Sudha Singh

Being a content creator can feel scary.

Because until you hit ‘publish’ on that blog, podcast, or social media post you have no idea how people are going to react to your content.

Will people love, hate or - and this can be worse - ignore it completely?

And what if you say something ‘wrong’ or offend someone (even though you didn’t mean to). 

That's what you'll find out in this podcast interview with communications and diversity consultant Sudha Singh - who finally found the courage to launch a podcast last year (after years of thinking about it). 

While Sudha shares her experiences of launching a podcast, the experiences she shares apply to any type of content.

So if you’ve ever doubted yourself as a content creator - or wondered if you have Imposter Syndrome - I know you’ll get so much value from this episode.
