In this episode, I sit down with Jaime Lynn Speiser, PhD, an associate professor of Biostatistics and Data Science and a recent K to R Essentials graduate. Jaime shares her experience of navigating the unique challenges and opportunities as a statistician working across diverse subject matter areas, and how the program helped her build confidence, clarify her career goals, and embrace her role as a leader in her field.

Tune in to this episode as we explore:

• How Jaime shifted from feeling “stuck” in her mid-career to creating a clear vision for her next steps as an academic and researcher.

• The lessons Jaime learned about protecting her time and energy, including strategies for asserting boundaries and declining obligations that don’t align with her goals.

• The transformative impact of learning to trust her own decisions and define success on her own terms.

Join us to hear Jaime’s inspiring journey of self-trust, growth, and newfound confidence as she redefines success, prioritizes meaningful work, and shapes a career rooted in purpose.
