Getting rid of stinkin’ thinkin’

First - two big announcements: 

1. In Season 3, we’re digging into systems and what we think about as we consciously try to change them. 
2. We’re running another cohort of SciComm STEP next spring! Join our email list for a ping when the application goes live! 🥳 

Today, we’re reckoning with reality: lots of us have anxiety about our careers. And that’s probably related to anxiety we have about our personal lives. AND there are whole lists of the most common ways that human brains add anxiety to our existence, which just feels totally unfair! 

Luckily, if we can identify what’s happening, we can combat it. 

So, this week, we discuss: 

• Common ways we experience anxiety in our careers 
• The most common ways humans experience anxiety in our lives 
• Wider ramifications for scicomm professionals 
• How we wrangle these issues at mid-to-advanced-career stages 

Dig in for yourself: how have you had success reframing your mindset? 

Thanks for listening! Autumn still feels warm where we live, so come sit in the sun with us! 😎🍂 Connect on BlueSky at @bgmerkle.bsky.social and @vgwschutte.bsky.social.
