Nik hangs out with her cuz and newest Gobby, Luke, to chat about his experience as a first time C2E2 attendee. They compare the vibe and community to their concert-going days as mosh pit monsters, and to Luke’s experiences in live competitive gaming.

"Yes,  you are worthy; Yes, you are enough; You deserve to feel like your best self out on that Con floor this weekend, and we can't wait to see you" <3 Niki

In the last hours of Con Crunch, and as we get ready for our first time as Exhibitors at Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo (C2E2), a lot can and does go wrong, and we can get way up in our heads and our feels. We say the worst things to ourselves, think the worst things about ourselves, and doom ourselves to negative feedback loops that seem to get louder and louder in a crowd of people, sometimes making us feel unworthy, ashamed, and alone.  Niki took a time-out to record this special podcast episode that she's calling her love letter to cosplayers about her own personal experience in these moments and how she gets through them. She gets real, walking us through the how and why with anxiety, body dysmorphia, feelings of overwhelm, and imposter syndrom and what these struggles look, sound, and feel like for her; Then she gives us her very best tips on how to support ourselves and others on this journey through a jam-packed convention weekend in order to set yourself up for the best possible outcomes. And if that just isn't enough, come find us at booth C11 in Cosplay Central, and we will be your biggest cheerleaders and loudest hype team.
