Un-Paradigmed
Welcome to Un-Paradigmed.
A quietly rebellious space for unraveling the rules we didn’t know we were living inside of and exploring what becomes possible when we notice and/or stop following them.
This podcast was formerly The Sequel to a PhD Podcast and still holds those past episodes to honor the evolution of the body of work. Moving forward, you’ll find something a little different: noticing and naming the structures we operate within, genuine curiosity and questions without clear answers, and a more spacious conversation about leadership, self-trust, and the cultural stories we’re ready to outgrow.
Podcast relaunch with new episodes coming soon!
Hosted by Shirley Markant, PhD — coach, thinker, paradigm-unraveler. Learn more at www.shirleymarkantcoaching.com.
