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 8: Getting Quiet
Welcome back to the podcast!
In this episode, we talk about what it means to get quiet and how giving ourselves permission to expect nothing of ourselves frees up the space to allow insight and new ideas in. I share my mini-story of how I approached getting myself out of a little recent slump and how this approach can be useful in the context of bigger life or career decision-making.
