In this episode, I give a life update. Since it is a life update, unlike previous episodes, this does not have a corresponding blog post to it. It's me providing context around what I've learned in the last semester about my learning style, moving mid-semester, and the future of this podcast...as I am about to graduate in August of 2023! Ultimately, I have loved sharing what I have learned as a grad student with you all and giving my own leadership type of advice. I don't want to stop either! I plan to use this platform more to showcase other stories than my own. Ultimately, I am excited about what 2023 brings and I look forward to sharing it with you all!
