91. “Is Grad School for Me?”

Welcome to another episode of Dismantling Diet Culture: Fuck Being Calladita. In Episode 91, we dive deep into the question many of us ponder: “Is Grad School for Me?” Joined by distinguished guests, Dr. Miroslava Chavez Garcia, a Professor of History at UC Santa Barbara, and Dr. Yvette Martinez-Vu, a grad school productivity coach and co-host of the Grad School Femme Mentoring podcast, we explore the intricacies of academic pursuits, the hurdles faced by marginalized communities, and the importance of self-care. Academia is certainly not a one-size-fits-all journey. It demands passion, resilience, and a strong support system, especially for those from underrepresented communities. Whether you’re contemplating grad school or already deep into your academic journey, remember that it’s okay to prioritize your mental health and well-being.
