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.

Episode 3: My Favorite Super Simple Tool to Actually Do That Overwhelming Thing
Welcome back to the podcast!
In this episode, we talk about:
- A super simple technique for making progress on that big, overwhelming, or intimidating thing you really want to do
- Real-life examples of how I use this tool in my own life on a daily basis
- An example of how this tool might be used in the setting of applying for that new job (that you may or may not be convinced you're qualified for yet)
- Why the feelings that come with accomplishing super small, easy steps is important in the context of the bigger picture question of "how do I want my work to feel?"
- How the accumulation of tiny actions over time can lead to momentum and really significant change, whatever the objective
