If you are feeling paralysed by anxiety as to what your supervisor might think of your latest chapter or just doubting whether you are even capable of finishing the PhD at all then this is the episode for you!

 

Mandy Lehto is a reknowned executive coach.  After her doctorate she worked in investment banking and has also been a columnist for ‘Psychologies’ magazine as well as contributing to a number of other publications including ‘The Huffington Post and The Times.  She now hosts “Enough the Podcast” alongside her private practice.  

 

In this episode Mandy draws on her research and shares her insights into the concept of ‘enoughness’ and how it can help avoid self-sabotage and stuckness.

 

She emphasizes the importance of questioning negative self-talk and suggests practices to reduce emotional reactivity.  

 

In the episode we explore the fear and uncertainty of the doctoral process and how embracing the ‘boring basics’ can help to ground us.
