Un-Paradigmed
Welcome to Un-Paradigmed.
A space to question the rules we didn’t even realize were shaping our lives and explore what’s possible when we notice them and let go of what no longer serves us.
This podcast was formerly The Sequel to a PhD Podcast and still holds those past episodes to honor the evolution of the body of work. Moving forward, it will be focused on: noticing and naming the structures we operate within; genuine curiosity and questions (with no clear answers) about where these structures and stories came from; and conversations about what else leadership, self-trust, and living an authentic life true to ourselves could look like.
Podcast relaunch with new episodes coming soon!
Hosted by Shirley Markant, PhD — coach, thinker, paradigm-unraveler. Learn more at www.shirleymarkantcoaching.com.
