I dropped out of my PhD programme
Five years ago, one question from my therapist changed everything: Do you actually want a PhD?In this episode, I unpack my winding academic journey, the internalised ableism tangled up in my ambition, and the moment I realised I was pursuing something I didn’t truly want. Dropping out meant letting go of an identity I’d carried for almost a decade... with no clear plan for what came next. It was terrifying, freeing and one of the best decisions I’ve made.Support the show
