i’ve been very lucky to have had a self sustaining network of mentors but the first one i got through my alumni network by asking a professor! ask around! reach out! i haven’t worked with some of these people in years but they bring my name up when it could make a difference and i just landed a really neat opportunity because of it. remember to say thank you and turn around and do the same for the littles come up behind you ◡̈

I convinced my fav professor from
undergrad to be my mentor despite many objections from her about “I don’t mentor students blah blah blah” and now 5ish years later it’s the best thing I’ve ever done for myself. Now I just get to hang out with someone I adore and admire on the regular and it just makes my heart soar every time we catch up. What a treat!

I’m addicted to talking to younger (or older) people interested in applying to the school program I finished last year.
It’s one thing you can do to actually impact someone!!!!
For those of you nervous about networking, just know the person you’re contacting might be like me (really excited to talk to you).

i have two under two and i’ve never felt more vulnerable or in love with the world despite the calamities! i’ve never had more empathy or patience or compassion for all living things! i’m also so tired and hormonal rn so don’t make any rash decisions but so far it’s working for me ☆
ps. pregnancy and labor and delivery physically went very smoothly for me. i had freaky ppd the first time around but so far this time is just overwhelmingly wonderful?? results may vary.
