23. My Story - after being away a year
Our Stories are Worth Telling Podcast
A year ago TODAY I was served the biggest curveball of my professional life which ultimately was the best thing that could have happened to me, but also set off a year of curveball after curveball - lesson after lesson - and podcasting wasn't something I had the bandwidth for. I've been feeling called back to the podcasting chair for a bit now and BABY I'M BACK. A little rougher around the edges, a little wiser, and a WHOLE lot happier. It's a joy to share the magic of stories with you again.

Our Stories are Worth Telling Podcast
This week’s story is that of Matea Langston Matea shares with us her story of going from a very traditional “get your college degree, then join the workforce” path to entrepreneur bookish/fandom candle maker with all the joys and stresses in between. Like usual, our conversation goes all over the place from books we’re planning to read this fall, to how Matea comes up with her mystical candle scents, to how there’s no one right path in life. Talking to Matea felt like speaking with an oracle, her ability to see nuance and have perspective was enchanting, and I hope you’ll...

I hope you’ll enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed being part of this. Content warning: anxiety, religious trauma You can...

16. My career story: a journey of unlearning performance based identity
Our Stories are Worth Telling Podcast
This week’s story is my career story. I’m a veterinary neurologist and I’m a pretty average one at that. But that’s the thing about being average - most of us are! “Average” is a statistical word mean that you’re somewhere in the middle 50% of that particular sample size and it’s completely relative and not at all a reflection on your individual self. I wanted to share my story of a pretty “middle of the road” person in her specific sample set (other veterinary neurologists) and how I grappled with dissociating from an identity based on performance and production....
