Your PhD program teaches you to think: Your heart and gut teach you how to live

Dr. Justine Dowd wants you to "heal from the inside out"...and it all started with her own journey. In this episode we discuss that:

- Your PhD teaches you how to think and earns you freedom

- There is a healing-- recovery and rest-- that most of us need during and after pursuing a PhD. Self-compassion can be a large part of that process

- We all might benefit from being careful with commitments so that we can create space for the things and people we love

- Sometimes we get invaluable guidance. Like this one to check in on: "What are your strengths and passions? Are you going into medicine because you want to be a doctor or because you like helping people?"

- We’re addicted to the cycle of grant, paper, work, reward. We're addicted to success as defined by a broken system

- More rest could create a culture of health
