Summary
JoJo D, The Chaos Guru, in conversation with Taylor Kelley, business development director at GDIT, discussed what it really takes to stay grounded in the high-pressure world of cybersecurity and tech. Kelley shares her path as a young professional in a male-dominated field, opening up about imposter syndrome, earning credibility and learning to use her voice. The discussion goes beyond career growth, digging into the realities of balancing demanding roles with personal life, including her experience as a working parent. The conversation offered practical advice for how to set boundaries without guilt, communicate transparently, build supportive relationships and know when to ask for help. She also shared how the role of therapy, community and small habits played in maintaining resilience when work feels overwhelming.
