Imposter Sisters
Join us (Alix Robinson & Colleen O’Dea) - self proclaimed ‘fake it til you make it’ experts - as we navigate the highs and lows of being a woman - both personally and professionally - and how the pressure and overwhelm of trying to ‘do it all’ often leads to feeling like an imposter in our own lives.

S3 - Episode 10 - Capturing Confidence with Nicole Lapierre
We’re all guilty of having thousands of photos on our phones—snapshots of moments, memories, and let’s be honest, a few too many selfies. But how often do we stop and think about the art of photography? The way a single image can tell a story, capture an emotion, or even shift the way we see ourselves?
In this episode, we sit down with the incredibly talented Nicole Lapierre, a fine art photographer who has built a career capturing the essence of people, places, and moments. But her journey wasn’t a straight path - she went from a neuroscience education to corporate life to picking up a camera and deciding to just go for it.
We chat about:
📸 The difference between taking photos and truly seeing a moment
📸 Why imposter syndrome almost held Nicole back—and how she chooses to see it differently
📸 The power of comparing yourself to yourself instead of constantly measuring up to others
📸 How social media and the pressure to document everything have changed photography
📸 Navigating big career shifts and trusting your creative instincts
Nicole shares how she’s learned to reframe imposter syndrome - seeing it not as a sign of failure, but as proof that she’s growing and pushing her own limits. She also reminds us that the only person we should ever compare ourselves to is our past selves, because progress is personal, not a competition.
If you’ve ever struggled with self-doubt, creative comparison, or simply want to take better photos - this one’s for you.
So grab settle in, and let’s talk about creativity, confidence, and finding beauty in the details.
