Dr. Justine Dowd wants you to "heal from the inside out"...and it all started with her own journey. In this episode we discuss that:

- Your PhD teaches you how to think and earns you freedom

- There is a healing-- recovery and rest-- that most of us need during and after pursuing a PhD. Self-compassion can be a large part of that process

- We all might benefit from being careful with commitments so that we can create space for the things and people we love

- Sometimes we get invaluable guidance. Like this one to check in on: "What are your strengths and passions? Are you going into medicine because you want to be a doctor or because you like helping people?"

- We’re addicted to the cycle of grant, paper, work, reward. We're addicted to success as defined by a broken system

- More rest could create a culture of health
