132: Why Investing In Yourself Is A Radical Act of Self-Care [Re-release Ep 89]
Why is investing in ourselves as academic womxn a radical act? And what should you do if your institution doesn’t want to invest in you? Making your career what you want it to be is up to you. There’s a lot of talk these days about self-care, but what does this mean for us as academics? How do we make sure we are getting where we want to go in our careers, and valuing our own contributions to the world? In order to grow and develop as scholars, we must invest in ourselves. As womxn, this is a radical act, and one I hope you’ll make for yourself. In this summer season, we will be re-releasing a few older podcasts to start us off. With that said, this episode is a re-release of episode 89 of the podcast. You can find episode 89 full show notes here. But, we do want to make you aware of some fun things happening currently in the summer of 2022!
