Un-Paradigmed
Welcome to Un-Paradigmed.
A quietly rebellious space for unraveling the rules we didn’t know we were living inside of and exploring what becomes possible when we notice and/or stop following them.
This podcast was formerly The Sequel to a PhD Podcast and still holds those past episodes to honor the evolution of the body of work. Moving forward, you’ll find something a little different: noticing and naming the structures we operate within, genuine curiosity and questions without clear answers, and a more spacious conversation about leadership, self-trust, and the cultural stories we’re ready to outgrow.
Podcast relaunch with new episodes coming soon!
Hosted by Shirley Markant, PhD — coach, thinker, paradigm-unraveler. Learn more at www.shirleymarkantcoaching.com.

Episode 11: Navigating Outside Our Comfort Zones and Becoming More of Ourselves
Welcome back to the podcast!
In this episode, I talk about some thoughts-in-progress that have been on my mind recently around the connection between moving out of our comfort zones and the question of "how do I want this to feel" while moving toward the next big goal. We talk about how the steps along the way don't have to be extra hard or a huge challenge to overcome in order to "count" as progress and growth. I share my current perspective (which admittedly, might change in the future!), in which I'm finding it empowering to embrace a series of small steps and gentle expansion of my comfort zone boundaries as the mechanism toward big goals and change. And how this all connects to the concept of becoming even more of yourself.
Thank you for listening!
