You Belong. Full Stop.

AI hype. Layoff headlines. Career ladders. Industry statistics.

It's easy to talk about tech like it's all trends and numbers—but every headline has a human story behind it.

This week, we're joined by Sasha Semjonova, Tech Journalist at Salesforce Ben, to talk about the people behind the technology and the realities of building a career in an industry that never stops changing. Sasha shares how she went from knowing almost nothing about Salesforce to helping grow Salesforce Ben's YouTube audience from 2,500 to more than 60,000 subscribers—and eventually finding her voice as a journalist covering some of tech's biggest stories.

We get into the human cost of layoffs, why no one is truly layoff-proof, the risk of building your entire career identity around AI, and what women are really navigating as they try to grow, lead, and build lives outside of work.

Sasha also opens up about being one of the youngest—and often one of the few women—in major tech press rooms, the imposter syndrome that comes with it, and learning that you don't have to wait until you feel confident to take up space.

Because sometimes the only way through imposter syndrome is a little exposure therapy.

You belong. Full stop.
