#my PhaileD journey

A Story of Academia, Power, and Resilience

Welcome to #myPhaileDjourney.com, a space dedicated to sharing my experience of navigating the challenges and triumphs of pursuing a PhD in my mid-fifties.

My journey, marked by dedication, resilience, and unexpected hurdles, ultimately led me to a profound realization: sometimes, the greatest lessons and growth come from the paths we do not complete.

Through this platform, I aim to provide insights, reflections, and support to others who may find themselves on a similar journey, emphasizing that every step—whether it leads to a traditional finish line or a new direction—is valuable and worthy of recognition.
