Dr LaNysha Adams draws on her background in research to support others to empower themselves.

In this episode she shares reflections on her educational journey - including why she didn't become an architect!

We talk about the experience of her difficult PhD defense and what she did to support herself afterwards.

LaNysha also outlines her idea of 'Me Power' - touching on the importance of community; identifying your strengths; expressing yourself and taking time to reflect.

She also takes time to remind us that you are never alone on the PhD journey.
