Linda shares stories, from eating disorders to the inner critic she named Hannibal Lecter. We look at how doubt hits our work, like writing a test plan that feels too easy. Her tactics: Share openly. Check basic needs. Treat your comfort zone like a rainbow and pick a color you can handle today. Build an honest feedback circle. In her daily life, Linda Van De Vooren is an amateur (baritone!) saxophonist and an experienced software tester. Living in the center of the Netherlands, she can be found exploring nature, attending concerts, or visiting the theater. She enjoys working in complex environments and does not shy away from a challenge, whether it stems from technical difficulties or a politically complex environment. In any free time that is left, she is an avid gamer (Nintendo!) and enjoys reading.
