In Memoriam

Ep 51 This episode is dedicated to Mrs. Ramona Espino, who was and remains a brilliant light in La Profesora's heart.  La Profesora talks about what it means to live in, through, and around grief. Through this profound loss, there lies opportunity for deep reflection about "being as doing". So often, life on these academic streets is a flurry of activity--always on to the next project, the next grant, the next opportunity to do that humble brag.  And what La Profesora asks of herself and all of us is to disentangle the doing of academic life so that we can be our whole selves without clinging to a system that will never be satisfied.  La Profesora encourages us to reflect on these questions: Who am I without the doing? How can I center my well-being as I move along these busy academic streets? How can I celebrate where I am right now without focusing on what is next? How can I honor my process just as it is? Thank you for supporting Michelle and this podcast! We will be back with more episodes soon. Adelante, mi gente!
