Description

In this heartfelt episode, we explore the emotional journey of those who start a PhD with high hopes but find themselves unable to complete it due to unforeseen circumstances. Inspired by a listener's email, we delve into the challenges of transitioning careers after leaving academia, the complex feelings of regret and relief, and the importance of choosing health and well-being over societal expectations. Join in as Dr. Nonterah discusses how to navigate this life pivot, reclaim the value of your experiences, and find new paths to success.
