Description

In this episode, I open up about something many of us in GIS rarely talk about — imposter syndrome. That nagging feeling of not being good enough, of questioning whether you really belong in this field, even when the evidence says otherwise.

This isn’t a polished success story, it’s an honest conversation about doubt, comparison, and the pressure to measure up in GIS. I share my own experiences, what I’ve learned along the way, and why so many professionals quietly wrestle with the same thoughts.

If you’ve ever wondered “Am I really cut out for this?” — you’re not alone. Let’s talk about it.
