On this episode I talk about how I am planning to expand the scope of Broke PhD Podcast to share the stories of individuals navigating life in general. I want Broke PhD Podcast to be a platform that can elevate the voices of those that are often left out of the narrative and/or ignored. I also reiterate that BROKE is an acronym which means Building Relationships Or Kindling Emotions. Through every episode, I aim to build relationships or to kindle (or to evoke) emotions from you the listeners, to allow for our Broke PhD Podcast Family to feel more connected and to collectively navigate our journeys, rather than feeling like we are tackling things on our own.
