✨Ratings & Reviews✨
a NECESSARY addition to the podcast world.
“As grad students, we get a lot of unsolicited advice, a lot of "good luck" and "wow you're STILL in school!?" comments, and it is a rollercoaster of emotions (all the time. like 24/7/365, guys). It's about time there was a podcast that talks about the GOOD parts of grad school life and explores the many differents ways that we can take this journey. Elana has such a great personality and the way she talks about the struggles and successes is both relatable and illustrative of what it's really like. 10/10 would recommend. Looking forward to hearing more stories and experiences from fellow doctoral students like myself!”

“If you're in academia or knows someone who is, you need this podcast in your life! Elana is a wonderful and engaging host who's passionate about grad student life and ensuring that institutions are treating everyone equitably. She chooses excellent guests and is a talented interviewer. This podcast is part of my weekly rotation and should be part of yours as well!”

This is a MUST LISTEN TO Podcast
“I am an incoming developmental psychology Ph.D. Student and I was extremely excited to get admitted into a program during an application cycle taking place during COVID. That excitement however shifted into fear throughout the summer that I somehow wasn’t going to be good enough and how I probably scammed my way into a program. The imposter syndrome hit me big time. Hearing about this podcast was brilliant as I was introduced to numerous graduate students who had the same relatable experiences! Being able to listen to different students and hear many stories throughout several aspects of life during graduate school has been amazing! It has really helped to mitigate my nervousness and anxiety going into my first semester and I couldn’t have felt more lucky being introduced to it right before starting graduate school. If you are a graduate student or are thinking of becoming a graduate student in the future, listen to this podcast! It is really eye opening and it is doing wonders for the graduate student community.”

What we all need!
“I stumbled across this podcast the day it aired and I’m so glad I did. There are plenty of grad student podcasts, but Elana is a great host who keeps it light and informative! That can be a tough balance, but she does it so well. I’m a second year psych PhD student and I love hearing the different perspectives of the students across different years! You must subscribe. Right now!!”

Praise From a First Year
“I just started my first year in a clinical psychology doctoral program and didn’t realize how much I needed to hear from someone else that it’s ok to struggle and a gentle reminder that I am capable. Thank you for giving me the words to describe the complex *everything* I’m just starting to experience. Sent to my entire cohort with love and lots of exclamation points!”
