Imposter Syndrome

In this episode of The View on Data, hosts Lauren Benezra, Faith Lierheimer, Erica Louie, and Paige Berry get real about a feeling so many data professionals experience but don't always talk about—imposter syndrome.

Through honest reflections and personal stories, they explore:
• The pressure to constantly prove your worth
• How feedback, even when hard to hear, can be a sign of trust
• The emotional labor behind self-doubt
• The tools and support systems that help rebuild confidence

From grad school to leadership roles, and therapy to group chats, the conversation covers what it's really like to navigate feelings of inadequacy and how community, self-awareness, and reframing your story can make a difference.

Whether you're new to data or years into your career, this episode is a reminder that you're not alone, and you're not the only one who sometimes feels like an imposter.
