The Courageous Collective
The Courageous Collective is a monthly podcast that celebrates diverse women business owners, who dare to do things differently.
Created by comms expert and copywriter Rupa Bharadva (http://www.rupabharadva.com/)) and branding specialist Vardeep Edwards (http://www.thebrandingfox.com/)), the podcast will feature conversations with female founders from diverse backgrounds.
Each episode will focus on the stories behind the founders' businesses; their fears and challenges; how they've overcome them; how their roots and backgrounds have influenced decisions; their inspirations; and what they're yet to achieve.
Rupa and Vardeep created this podcast after noticing a big gap in magazines, at events and on podcasts. There are few women 'like them' represented in these spaces, despite there being many diverse women business owners!
The creative pair decided to take matters into their own hands. They've created a podcast platform to champion diverse female founders and celebrate their achievements.

#014 Navigating imposter syndrome and feeling like a fraud
Have you experienced Imposter syndrome? As business founders, it’s a term that comes up frequently in our conversations. But what exactly is it and can it be prevented?
We explore this common challenge and provide practical tips to help you overcome your self-doubt. Drawing on our own experiences, we discuss the reasons why you might feel like an imposter and share actionable strategies to build your confidence and self-belief.
We look at whether particular groups of people are more likely to feel self doubt and we take a closer look at perfectionism and how being courageous can help you take that next step.
If you’ve ever experienced imposter syndrome, or unsure how to stop the niggling voice of self doubt, listen to this episode!
