Listen "Problem #16: Overcoming Doubt"
Episode Synopsis
This week, Tracy and Kristian are joined by Tracy's spouse and the other half of Ede Sol Games, Boof Sizemore to talk about one of the most insidious problems you may encounter in doing creative work: doubt (and more specifically, Imposter Syndrome). We're not qualified to approach this therapeutically, so instead we share some very personal stories about our own experiences with this monster from a game design perspective. In seeing that other people are affected by it, and the strategies they employ to overcome it, we hope we can provide some comfort and inspiration to those who also run into these roadblocks. Special thanks: to our friend and professional life coach Carly Flagg for consultation and additional notes for this episode.Join our discord!: https://discord.gg/Bc9dvuzZYJThe Han Cluster® Role Playing Game Website: https://hancluster.comImmaterial Plane: https://immaterialplane.com/Carly Flagg Life Coaching Website: https://handsatheart.com
