Podcast Insights
Content Themes
The podcast focuses on data-driven design, human-centered research, and regulatory challenges within sectors like medtech and digital health. Episodes like 'Intrinsic Data - Prior Authorization Within Medicare Advantage' explore critical topics such as patient advocacy, legislative impacts, and the transformation of industry insights into actionable strategies.
Welcome to the Gen UX Podcast, where we explore how research and data come alive in practice. Our current series, Intrinsic Data, dives into the unexpected ways information shows up across industries and influences decision-making. Each conversation brings practical takeaways and fresh perspectives for innovators, creators, and problem-solvers. This is just the start as future episodes will expand into new stories of design, human factors, and beyond.
In this episode, Staci Miller sits down with Liz McDermitt, social scientist, longtime research leader, and founder of Platypus Coaching. Liz shares how her career in market research, UX research, and people leadership ultimately led her to build a coaching practice centered on whole-person transformation.
Together they explore why imposter syndrome shows up at every career level, how coaches listen for the subtle cues people don’t realize they’re expressing, and why naming our “saboteur” voices can fundamentally change how we show up in work and life. Liz also breaks down the difference between coaching and therapy, the role of metaphor and visualization in her sessions, and what it means to coach with a growth mindset.
Whether you’re navigating a career pivot, struggling with self doubt, or simply curious about the psychology behind coaching, this conversation offers practical insight and real depth.

• The shift from corporate leadership to independent coaching
• Why imposter syndrome is universal
