We are all scientists, engineers, and artists, and we can use this innate curiosity and creativity to keep pointing ourselves towards the life we want. We all know about frameworks like growth mindset, but sometimes it’s easy to get lost in the flurry of work pressures and before you know it, work feels stagnant and the farthest thing from magical.

In this episode, I dig into core values versus limiting beliefs, growth mindset, and how we can apply tools to move towards the jobs and careers we want.

Five jobs in five years was a whole lot and a complete life-changer all in one. In this episode I walk through how each job came about and highlight some of the key lessons I took away from each one. This episode is all about putting sampling and ikigai (episode 1!!) into practice.

What if you’re in your STEM career path (school, first job out of school, nth job….) and you don’t feel like you’ve found a job that lights you up? Or like you mostly like your job but something(s) is missing?

This is so normal AND we can actively start moving ourselves towards jobs and careers that let us shine at what we love. In this episode, I go over techniques for starting to figure out what makes you light up at work.

Welcome to STEMdentity with Anna Hodshire, the podcast for STEM and STEM-adjacent professionals who aren’t here to just churn through emails, meetings, overwhelm, and burnout. We’re here to find our own unique paths and identities that lead us to our most creative selves.

In this trailer, I jump right in: I’ve had 5 jobs in 5 years since graduating and I’ve learned a whole lot along the way about myself. I might be an assistant professor in a tenure-track career at a research university, but it was a far from linear path to get here and I know I’ve just scratched the surface of finding my most aligned, awesome STEMdentities.

If you already know you want to expand your team of support around you by working directly with me, reach out for a free, 30-minute Intro Work (or School!) Audit call! Let’s dig into your thorniest problem right now and get you unstuck. Schedule at https://calendly.com/annahodshire/intro-work-audit-call or DM me @STEMdentity (Instagram) or LinkedIn - Anna Hodshire!
