The Sequel to a PhD Podcast
How often are our careers, identities, ambitions defined by the story we wrote for ourselves way back when we started our degrees/careers? I know that for a long time, my identity was tied to success on my originally chosen career path. But what happens when we discover along the way that the story we created for ourselves back then no longer feels right?
Here, we share and support each others’ stories of moving through this, as well as strategies for what has helped along the way. We also talk more broadly about learning how to figure out what we really want across the different areas of our lives, doing things differently, navigating the associated challenges, and supporting one another in pursuing what's true and meaningful for each of us as individuals. And how that pursuit can ultimately impact the world around us.

The Sequel to a PhD Podcast
Introducing: The Sequel to a PhD Podcast!
Coming soon: The Sequel to a PhD Podcast!
Equipping PhDs to make inspired career and life moves
As PhDs, we often define our career, identity, ambitions based on the story we wrote for ourselves before starting our PhD. But what happens when we discover along the way that that story we created for ourselves back then no longer feels right? How do we walk away from something we’re good at, that defines us, that makes us feel like we’re contributing something important to the world, even if it no longer fulfills us?
Through The Sequel to a PhD Podcast, we will share personal stories, strategies, perspectives, and lessons learned to facilitate change towards a career path that feels right for who you are now. Hosted by Shirley Markant, PhD, a scientist-oriented career mentor, former cancer research scientist, self-employed oncology medical writer, and mom of two young kids.
