#39 - Finding Your Strength in Changing Your Path ft. Dr. Denise Bronner

Have you ever gone done a path and then wondered if that’s the right path for you? Maybe you have a PASSIONATE DISLIKE for their career. Maybe you really didn’t mind your career, but you’ve found something else that you’re SO excited about. Those tend to be the two perspectives people have when they’re considering changing their path. And from that, we start to wonder what to do! How do you navigate this situation? CAN you change paths at this stage of the game? When I was making a change in my career, today’s guest is one of the people that was instrumental in helping me navigate that. Dr. Denise Bronner was a classmate and friend from my time in my doctoral program. Ever the badass human and scientist, she kicked some serious booty in graduate school, earning some publications in some top tiers and eventually going on to continue being a badass as a postdoctoral fellow at UC Davis. But soon, she realized that she wanted something different too. She digs into how she navigated that change for herself. If you’re a scientist or graduate student and want some understanding in the ways in which you’re struggling in your career, LISTEN TO THIS podcast. Even if you’re not though and you’re considering making a change in your own career, then you TOO need to LISTEN to this episode.
