What do you do when you’ve made it past a major milestone—but you’re exhausted?

In this final episode of the Q&A series, Dr. Renée Jordan shares what it really takes to sustain momentum through the hardest parts of a long journey. Drawing from her experience earning a PhD while working full-time, she offers a grounded, honest perspective on resilience, flexibility, and balance.

This isn’t about pushing harder—it’s about moving forward with intention.

You’ll learn:

• Why remembering your “why” is critical when motivation fades
• How tracking your progress can help you keep going
• Why rest, joy, and celebration are essential—not distractions
• How flexibility includes adjusting your goals and protecting your quality of life

Because resilience isn’t just about endurance—it’s about sustaining yourself along the way.

Do you have to “go into tech” to benefit from it?

In this episode, Dr. Renée Jordan challenges the idea that tech careers are limited to computer scientists or engineers. Drawing from her own journey—from biology to education to instructional technology—she explores what it means to work in a technology-saturated world.

This conversation reframes tech as something you engage with across fields—not just something you specialize in.

You’ll learn:

• Why tech isn’t just for those who build it—but for those who use it
• How everyday roles (like teaching) are deeply connected to technology
• Why expanding this definition opens doors for more women and girls
• How AI tools can support exploration—even if “tech” isn’t your goal

Because in today’s world, learning how to use technology is part of building your future.

How do you receive critical feedback—without losing yourself in the process?

In this first episode of a 3-part Q&A series, Dr. Renée Jordan reflects on a pivotal moment from her doctoral journey: navigating major revisions after her prospectus defense while staying grounded in her purpose.

This conversation explores the tension between growth and self-preservation—especially for women and girls navigating academic and professional spaces.

You’ll learn:

• How to separate structural feedback from identity-level compromise
• Why not all feedback is meant to be accepted
• How to refine your work without erasing your voice
• A mindset shift that turns feedback into strategy—not self-doubt

This episode is for anyone learning how to evolve their work while staying aligned with who they are.

Because growth should expand your voice—not silence it.
