Laid Off, Landed the Job, Still Feel Like an Imposter? | Aleya Martin - Ediso Conversations

You got laid off. You landed the new job. So why do you still feel like you're bracing for the next one? Certified Professional Development Coach, Aleya Martin has 15+ years in public health, where she managed multi-million dollar national health equity portfolios. Now, she coaches professionals through layoffs, career pivots, promotions, and returning to work after time away. In this episode of Ediso Conversations, she explains why imposter syndrome doesn't go away just because you got the job. You can still be second-guessing yourself, working harder instead of smarter, and quietly waiting for the next layoff. What we cover: Why people get stuck feeling unemployable after a layoff, even when it isn't true What imposter syndrome actually looks like once you're back at work What coaching looks like in practice: mapping your real skills, your impact, and what you actually value How to build a concrete plan when your next step is a new job, a pivot, or a promotion Aleya also shares her own experience navigating predominantly white workplaces as a Black woman, and returning to work as a new mother trying to figure out who she was in this next chapter. Aleya is one of our founding experts on Ediso. This is Ediso Conversations, where we talk to experts about the moments in a career where a real conversation matters more than another course. www.ediso.ai #ediso #layoffs #confidenceboost #careeradvice
