9 to 5ish with theSkimm

Rebroadcast: Lisa Ling on Conquering Self Doubt

Listen Later

Today, we’re going back into the 9 to 5ish archives to bring you one of our favorite episodes with journalist Lisa Ling. Despite reporting the news professionally since she was a teenager, Lisa says she doubts herself constantly in work settings. She shares how she quiets the voice in her head that makes her question her worth at work, plus the value she sees in women of color advocating for each other in the workplace. We'll be back with a fresh episode next week.


In this episode, Lisa shares:


  • The reporting experiences she had as a teen (alongside Anderson Cooper)
  • Why her two male agents told her to leave negotiating to them
  • The one lesson she wishes her young self learned
  • How having kids reframed her boundaries around how far she’d go for her job
  • Why it’s key for women of color to learn to advocate for each other in the workplace
