You Can Be Anything Podcast
by Solange Che
For many years, I was caught up in the thought that failing at my first big dream meant that was it for me.I started doing survival jobs that did not have anything to do with my formal education. Suspending my Ph.D. after about 2 years took me back to ground zero because all I had done for the past 28 years of my life was study. Failure is a state of mind that if not handled with care can destroy ones' personality. It took me to acceptance, goal setting, revamping my self-confidence, sacrifice, resilience, and vulnerability to come to the realization that I can start all over again and be my best version. Episodes in this podcast will include real-life experiences and lessons learned, and chats with people with a similar story so that listeners will have a wide variety of content to draw from. This is a learning process for us all and so deliberations based on questions and concerns will be discussed as well. This is a medium for us to learn how we can be audible and be our own
