The Cumulative Impact (and Fuel) of Discomfort (New episode ft. Marta Spirk) Click here to watch our episode on YouTube!

Feeling Less Alone through the Discomfort Sometimes we want to avoid this truth, but it usually finds its way back to us: discomfort is a necessary part of our growth. If you want to change jobs, you face discomfort associated with uncertainty first, adjustment later. If you want to do something you have never done, you face discomfort being a beginner at it. If you want to get to know yourself, you face discomfort in the silence that lets you hear your own voice. Discomfort is always a part...

Getting Uncomfortable for Our Own Growth (New episode ft. Elena Hoffer) Last month, we discussed the role of villages and how they shape our goals. During February, I want to invite us to explore our relationship with growth and discomfort. Growth and discomfort have multiple layers to it, and this month, which is also my birthday month, so I want to invite us to dive deeper into these layers as I also find myself more naturally reflective on my own journey. We get this conversation started...

Building Villages and Goals We are wrapping up the first month of the year, and with that, our theme of villages and goals (although, as you know by now, I am never not talking about this theme anyway). For this last week, I wanted to extend an invitation to all of us to reflect on how our insights on our villages can also inform how we continue building them (on that note, check out the upcoming events section if you are in the DC metro area!). We covered plenty of ground when it comes to...

The Gifts of Our Village We have been discussing the role and importance of our villages in our goals this month, and this episode of Lucky to Be Here speaks to this in many ways (and it is packed with tips and advice for international moves!). For this week’s episode, I interviewed Gisela de la Villa. Gisela is a multi-hyphenate who hails from Argentina, but has become a part of the Wellington fixture. During our conversation, Gisela shares her journey from Argentina to New Zealand,...

Villages and Goals: What Comes First? Last week, we explored the idea of our villages through our latest episode of Lucky to Be Here with Sebastián Vallejo Vera, and his own experience navigating his academic career across countries as part of his family unit. This week (and for the rest of the month), we dive deeper into this discussion to explore the symbiotic relationship between villages and goals. Pinpointing what comes first between villages and goals is a somewhat futile exercise...

Big Moves & Family Decisions (New Episode ft. Sebastián Vallejo Vera) We are starting with a new episode of Lucky to Be Here, sharing an open and honest discussion with Dr. Sebastián Vallejo Vera about his own academic career, which has spanned across all the North American region in the past decade, and what it has been like to navigate this evolution as part of a family unit, along with his wife and kids. We also dived deeper into a discussion that I find fundamental for institutional...
