In this podcast, I, Dr. Aceves, create space for scholars in and outside of the academy to authentically share their professional and personal journeys. We often think that the path to success is a linear one, but in telling our story, we quickly learn that is far from the truth. My goal is to cultivate a platform where scholars young and wise can learn about the diverse ways people (particularly individuals with PhDs) get to where they are today and emphasize the story behind the journey. I also dive into topics that are important to students and early career folks on solo episodes. Tune in!

    The Journey of Dr. Linda Halgunseth

    In this episode of Vida de PhD, host Dr. Aceves sits down with Dr. Linda Halgunseth to discuss her journey to the PhD. Together, they reflect on how the path to a PhD — and the career that follows — is rarely linear. Through her story, Linda reminds us that it’s okay to make the “wrong” choice because, as she beautifully shares, “life is forgiving.” Her journey shows that even when we feel off course, life has a way of guiding us back to where we are meant to be. This episode is a powerful reflection on the importance of trusting yourself, listening to your intuition, and honoring your inner voice. Your inner voice is powerful. En amor y poder,Lorena

    The Journey of Dr. Lucía Alcalá

    In this episode of Vida de PhD, host Lorena Aceves sits down with Lucia Alcala to reflect on their shared Mexican backgrounds and the experiences that shaped their academic journeys. Lucia shares her path into graduate school, the challenges and opportunities she encountered along the way, and the people who helped guide her through pivotal moments in her career. Together, they discuss the importance of mentorship in academia—especially for scholars from historically underrepresented communities—and how strong mentors can open doors, provide guidance, and help scholars navigate spaces that were not always designed with them in mind. The conversation also highlights the value of community, representation, and the ways cultural identity influences both personal and professional paths. This episode is a thoughtful reflection on perseverance, mentorship, and the power of having people who believe in you along the journey to and through the PhD. En amor y poder, Lorena

    The Journey of Dr. Ximena Franco-Jenkins

    In this episode of Vida de PhD, Lorena sits down with Dr. Ximena Franco-Jenkins to unpack a journey that proves academic paths don’t have to be linear to be powerful. From aspiring flight attendant and future law student to developmental psychologist and systems-level research leader, Ximena shares how her lived experience as an immigrant, bilingual Latina shaped her commitment to children, families, and multilingual learners. She opens up about discovering research through hands-on clinical work, navigating graduate school as a parent of two (yes—she defended her thesis and dissertation while raising toddlers!), and choosing a research center path over the traditional tenure track. They also discuss what it really means to be grant-funded, why implementation science focuses on the how (not just the what), and the critical role of mentorship and community in sustaining a meaningful career. Ximena leaves listeners with a powerful reminder: give yourself permission to belong. Your lived experience is expertise—and building community is how we create lasting impact. En amor y poder, Lorena

    Navigating Uncertainty with Certainty with Dr. Aceves- The Beginning

    This episode marks the beginning of a new era of Vida de PhD. The show will continue to feature interviews with incredible scholars navigating both academic and non-academic paths, while also shining a light on the journey into the unknown that so many of us are currently walking. These conversations will be part of a series titled “The Journey of [Guest Name].” This season also introduces a new series, “Navigating Uncertainty with Certainty,” featuring fireside-style conversations with guests who are joining me in sharing their wisdom, reflections, and lessons learned along the way. In addition, there will be solo episodes—like this one—where I speak candidly about the raw realities of reinventing myself and my career after being unexpectedly laid off.   When guests join me, they’ll share their insights alongside what I continue to learn as I move through this season of change. So buckle up and walk this journey with me. This episode is just the beginning. I can’t wait to look back on this moment and know—like everything else—that it was exactly as it needed to be. En amor y poder, Lorena PS- I’m also excited to share The Aceves Approach (which I share in the episode) — my coaching, professional development, and research consulting services designed to support students, emerging scholars, and professionals in taking intentional action during times of transition. Whether it’s one-on-one coaching, professional development workshops, or research consulting, The Aceves Approach is here to help you move forward with confidence and clarity in your personal and professional life.
