5 Lies we have been told: 1. Your institution does not define your value 2. Gratitute is expressed through sacrifice 3. The right mentor(s) will save you 4. Just say No / Say yes early and often 5. You can avoid burn out by settling for less
5 Lies we tell ourselves: 1. "I can't thrive in a system not built for me" 2. "Once I get funded, then I'll be taken seriously" 3. "Once I get this finished, then things will settle down" 4. "Once I do XYZ, then I'll be ready" 5. "I don't have what I need to succeed"
