In the latest episode of Victors in Grad School, Dr. Christopher Lewis sits down with Tim Ekola, a pharmacist and Navy veteran, to discuss the power of lifelong learning and the journey to success in graduate education.

Key themes and insights from the episode include:

🚀 Embracing Non-Linear Paths: Tim Ekola shares his inspiring journey from military service to becoming a leader in pharmacy, emphasizing that personal and professional growth is often a winding road rather than a straight line.

📚 The Value of Continuous Education: Hear how pursuing both a PharmD and an MBA unlocked new opportunities, sharpened leadership skills, and expanded Tim Ekola's career horizons.

⚖️ Achieving Balance: Juggling work, family, volunteering, and graduate school isn’t easy. Tim Ekola offers practical advice on time management, building a support system, and finding the right time in life to pursue advanced degrees.

🤝 Power of Relationships: One of the biggest takeaways is the importance of building connections—with classmates, professors, and colleagues—which often lead to unforeseen opportunities and lasting friendships.

💡 Advice for Future Graduate Students: Tim Ekola encourages honest communication with family and employers about your educational aspirations, careful planning around finances and workload, and persevering with grit—even when things get tough.

If you're considering graduate school, navigating a career transition, or simply looking for motivation in your professional journey, this episode is full of practical tips and inspiration.

This week on the "Victors in Grad School" podcast, featuring Christopher Lewis, Ed.D and Darien Wilkerson, M.S. we dive deep into imposter syndrome—that sneaky feeling of self-doubt and not belonging that so many grad students face. Darien Wilkerson from Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) at the University of Michigan-Flint unpacks what imposter syndrome really is (hint: it’s a common thinking error, not a diagnosis) and illustrates how it can show up as anxiety, perfectionism, procrastination, and more.

Key takeaways include:

Recognizing the signs: Feeling like you don’t deserve your accomplishments or attributing success to luck.

Causes: Family expectations, mental health challenges, cultural pressures, negative self-comparisons, and being in new or minority situations.

Types of imposter syndrome: The Perfectionist, Expert, Soloist, Natural Genius, and Superhuman.

Practical strategies: Acknowledge your feelings, challenge your inner critic, own your accomplishments, and focus on growth instead of perfection.

This episode is packed with practical advice and self-reflection prompts to help you overcome imposter thoughts and build self-compassion along your grad school journey.
