In this podcast, I, Dr. Aceves, create space for scholars in and outside of the academy to authentically share their professional and personal journeys. We often think that the path to success is a linear one, but in telling our story, we quickly learn that is far from the truth. My goal is to cultivate a platform where scholars young and wise can learn about the diverse ways people (particularly individuals with PhDs) get to where they are today and emphasize the story behind the journey. I also dive into topics that are important to students and early career folks on solo episodes. Tune in!
