Imposter Syndrome Is Lying To You!

Season 2026, Ep. 72

The ladies are sick of not feeling sure of themselves, always doubting their abilities and letting Imposter Syndrome win! So they've enlisted the help of Dr Jessamy Hibbard to help us navigate confidence, from why success never quite "lands" no matter how much you achieve, to why we struggle to take a compliment, and how to finally stop dismissing your wins as luck.

Angela and Vicky are taking Get A Grip to the big stage! Expect feminine rage, big laughs and plenty of bra-swinging chaos. Tickets on sale now: https://crossedwires.live/podcast/get-a-grip

    35:05||Season 2026, Ep. 64
    It looks like the tradwife influencers are all denying they’re actually tradwives (I mean, we kinda knew that anyway 👀), but it begs the question… where does authentic lifestyle content end and performance begin? Angela and Vicky unpack the tradwife trend, the businesses behind the picture-perfect homemaker aesthetic, and whether influencers have a responsibility to be more transparent about the lives they’re selling online.
