256: Demystifying Therapy from a BIPOC Therapists’ Perspective with Joan Choi
In this episode, I interview Joan Choi who discusses the topic of demystifying therapy from a BIPOC therapist’s perspective. Joan is a private practice therapist based in NYC who works with POC and immigrants, supporting clients through trauma, depression, anxiety, and identity development. We discuss Joan's journey into therapy, starting from her upbringing in Korea and the U.S., to bartending in New York, and eventually transitioning into a career in mental health counseling. Joan shares insights into her work with clients on trauma, depression, anxiety, and identity development, emphasizing the importance of anti-bias, anti-racism, and trauma-informed care. Key misconceptions about therapy, especially within BIPOC communities, are addressed, along with tips on how to navigate the process of starting therapy, the importance of therapist-client rapport, and understanding different therapy modalities. Joan also discusses the barriers to accessing therapy and provides advice for those considering therapy, underscoring the message that everyone deserves the chance to heal.

254: What I Wish I Knew About Publishing a Book With an Academic Press Without an Academic Job
In this episode of the Grad School Femtoring Podcast, I share all the juicy details about what I wish I knew about publishing a book with an academic press without an academic job. This has been a highly requested topic and therefore, I offer detailed advice on the realities of book publishing, including financial considerations, the importance of marketing, and the gatekeeping nature of the publishing industry. I also discuss how publishing a book is more about sharing impactful knowledge than financial gain, revealing my own time, energy, and financial constraints and how risky this book publishing process was for me. I share lots of personal anecdotes, am not afraid to throw some shade at the gatekeepers, and end by expressing a heartfelt sense of gratitude to my community for supporting me in ordering Is Grad School For Me?

252: Pivoting from Pre-Med to a PhD with Julio Salas
In this episode, our guest, Julio Salas' shares with us his inspiring journey of going from pre-med to a PhD in sociology, including key insights and advice for BIPOC students navigating academia.
Julio is a Chancellor's Fellow and first-year Sociology PhD student at the University of California, Berkeley.
Centering immigrant families, his research interests lie at the nexus of immigration, race & ethnicity, social stratification, and health.
He's a second-generation Colombian and Mexican immigrant born and raised in Corona, Queens, NY, who could have never imagined entering the spaces and accomplishing the feats he has.
Because of his profoundly non-traditional path and the unlikelihood of being where he is, Julio attempts to do all that he can to make his spaces and the world a better place for other marginalized folks.
On the show, Julio discusses the challenges of navigating academia as a first-gen, BIPOC individual, the decision-making process behind his pivot to a PhD, and the cultural and structural differences between medical and graduate school.

Intentional and Important Podcast
This is an amazing podcast. I am currently on my last year of my PhD program in Leadership and Special Education, and in all honesty have felt crippling anxiety since day 1. Listening to a few episodes has helped me feel less alone as a PhD student and empowered... just hearing the voices of the incredible women she has invited and talked with has helped re-ignite the dreams I had during the beginning of the program. During the most recent episode they talked about how our families just really won’t Thank you Dra. Yvette. Your voice is so important. I hope you know that you uplift so many people with your voice and existence.
