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
Returning to "What Do I Really Want?"
Welcome back to the podcast for the start of Season Two!
I’m excited to be back with you! Today, I’m returning to orient around the question we often have for ourselves of “What do I really want?”. You would think that this question of would be easy to answer, but I think it can be REALLY hard for so many of us, for so many reasons. We know we want something different, but we can’t quite identify what to move towards. Today, I'm sharing some thoughts around how micro-moments in our lives can help us explore and learn to trust that inner voice that can set the course towards answering this question.
Thank you for listening!
