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
The World We Want
Welcome back to the podcast!
In this season, we're digging into exploring how to figure out what we really want, which can be a challenge for so many of us. Today, I'm sharing my perspective on why what we want matters as well as my recent experience with an exercise that investigates what we want our ideal world to look like. And how defining this for ourselves as individuals can help center around our values and inform daily life and big picture decision-making.
