Un-Paradigmed
Welcome to Un-Paradigmed.
A space to question the rules we didn’t even realize were shaping our lives and explore what’s possible when we notice them and let go of what no longer serves us.
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, it will be focused on: noticing and naming the structures we operate within; genuine curiosity and questions (with no clear answers) about where these structures and stories came from; and conversations about what else leadership, self-trust, and living an authentic life true to ourselves could look like.
Podcast relaunch with new episodes coming soon!
Hosted by Shirley Markant, PhD — coach, thinker, paradigm-unraveler. Learn more at www.shirleymarkantcoaching.com.

Episode 16: A Nap is Not Enough: The Space In Between as an Essential Component of Rest
Welcome back to the podcast!
In this episode, we talk about REST. Giving ourselves permission to rest (which can be a challenge due to our conditioning, particularly coming from academia), dissociating rest from an expectation for it to feel good or to be fully replenishing in whatever timeframe we've allotted for it, and why allowing ourselves to stop thinking and problem-solving can be a necessary component of rest. We talk about how the space created by rest is so important to create meaning and ultimately enable us to show up as who we want to be in the world.
Thank you for listening!
