Wish I had this podcast when I was a first-gen college student. It would have saved me so much because I used to feel so lost and insecure. Dr. Yvette helps you feel seen, understood, and shares such helpful tips on grad school, mental health, and growing your career.
Apple Podcasts5Dr. Janice CastroUnited States7 months ago - A very inspiring podcast that’s part of my daily routine
I love this podcast! I came across Yvette’s work through mutual connections, and I love how real and motivating her content is, especially as a female BIPoC grad student. Honestly, this podcast is part of my morning routine because I always leave feeling energized. I’ve had low moments as I navigated my PhD journey such as working with my advisor, dissertation writing blocks, or worrying about my next career move. This podcast has it all, and has made me feel so supported 🙌🏽
