EPISODE 6: THE CREATIVE WHO DID IT ANYWAY — Kelly Smith on Imposter Syndrome, Storytelling & Starting Your Own Podcast

What happens when two podcast hosts — both wondering ifanyone's actually listening — finally sit down and talk to each other?

In this episode, Amin talks with Kelly Smith, an Australiancreative who spends her days telling stories in the disability sector and hosts her own podcast, Where Do I Find You?, on the side. Kelly opens up about the nerves that never fully go away before hitting record, why it took her years to finally launch her own show, the "get past episode ten" mindset that's kept her consistent, and what backing yourself actually looks like when the doubt never really disappears.

This one's for anyone who has an idea sitting in a drawerbecause they don't feel "ready" yet.

🎙️ In this episode:

• The nerves that show up before every single recording — even after years of doing it
• Why Kelly waited so long to start her own podcast
• Stepping out of the comfort zone and finally showing her face on camera
• The high school moment that sparked a lifetime of "I'll prove you wrong"
• 25 years in the disability sector — and the power of being trusted with someone's story
• The meaning behind the name Where Do I Find You?
• Imposter syndrome, unfiltered — does it ever actually go away?
• What "backing yourself" requires in practice, not just in theory

💬 "You back yourself by deciding the doubt does not get the final vote." - AMIN MOMBANI, HOST
