Beginning Well: Podcast Guests Give Their Best Advice

"You're someone who's smart and who's capable and God has plans for those gifts." —Dr. Jennifer Holberg

What is the best advice you've heard about starting the school year? Listen in to some of the wisest moments from our podcast in this special back-to-school episode.

We’re looking toward a fresh school year and thinking especially about those of you who might be looking for some tips and tricks from women who have experience with university life and rhythms. Perhaps you’re a first-year graduate student, preparing yourself for a course of rigorous study. Or maybe you’re easing into life as a faculty member at a new institution. Or perhaps you’ve been around for a little while but you’re looking for some fresh tips and energy to help you start the year well.

For this special podcast episode, we’ve combed through our interviews from the past year and curated a series of conversation moments that address the question: What advice do you have for women who are new grad students or faculty? We invite you to settle in and receive these words from women who have been there and have hope for your future.

We’re going to dip into six different podcast conversations for this episode. I won’t offer lengthy introductions of each of these guests or their books, but if you’d like to follow up and listen to the full conversations with them, you can find links to all of the featured episodes in our show notes. 

So jump right in! We're so glad you're here.
