Solo Session: PhD and Society

Mar 25, 2026 • S02 E22 • 00:03:10

Students and Graduates!

Feeling “behind in life” while you’re deep in a PhD can hit hard, especially when friends seem to be racing through the traditional milestones: a car, a wedding, children, a house, a job title that looks neat on paper. If this resonates with you, then this late-night solo session is for you!

I share with you the following:

—> Why undertaking a PhD is personal rather than a fight against society
—> Rejecting checklists and fixed timelines as a measure of worth
—> Defining what “behind” means and normalising self-criticism
—> Reframing: rest, recharge, and remember a PhD is a marathon

Thank you all for tuning in, it has been a pleasure!
