How do you receive critical feedback—without losing yourself in the process?

In this first episode of a 3-part Q&A series, Dr. Renée Jordan reflects on a pivotal moment from her doctoral journey: navigating major revisions after her prospectus defense while staying grounded in her purpose.

This conversation explores the tension between growth and self-preservation—especially for women and girls navigating academic and professional spaces.

You’ll learn:

• How to separate structural feedback from identity-level compromise
• Why not all feedback is meant to be accepted
• How to refine your work without erasing your voice
• A mindset shift that turns feedback into strategy—not self-doubt

This episode is for anyone learning how to evolve their work while staying aligned with who they are.

Because growth should expand your voice—not silence it.
