The graduate school experience can be as psychologically challenging as it is academically rigorous. Many students struggle with imposter phenomenon, financial stress, and unclear expectations — challenges that impact not only their confidence but also their academic success. In this episode, Dr. Jonathan Cisco and Dr. Jayme Cisco, co-founders of The Grad Academy, join Ray to share insights on the hidden struggles of graduate students and why imposter phenomenon is a key barrier to success. They unpack the institutional gaps that contribute to these challenges and discuss strategies for improving student support.
