When the decisions you make are often short-term, reactionary, and misaligned with where you actually want to go.

In this episode, we’re talking about the difference between making decisions from a place of fear versus a place of clarity—and why it matters. If you’ve ever felt pressure to just do something without a clear plan, or rushed into commitments that didn’t truly serve you, this conversation will help you take a step back, reassess, and move forward with intention.

In this episode:

  • Why panic-driven decisions often create unnecessary setbacks in your research career

  • The key difference between reacting to fear and making strategic, long-term choices

  • How to recognize when you’re operating from a sense of urgency rather than strategy

  • What it really means to trust yourself and make clear, grounded decisions

If you’re feeling the pressure to scramble or say yes to every opportunity, this episode will help you slow down, get your bearings, and make choices that actually support your long-term success.
