On today’s episode, I’m talking to Associate Professor of Physical Therapy Dr. Stephanie Di Stasi about choosing to focus on work you love and where it feels like you can have the most impact.

Dr. Di Stasi is an Associate Professor in the Division of Physical Therapy at The Ohio State University and a Research Scientist at the Sports Medicine Research Institute at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. As an athlete with an interest in the biomechanics of the human body, Steph initially started out on a clinical PT pathway before talking with a mentor and deciding to go back to school for her PhD. During her time as a PhD student, she fell in love with teaching and research and combined them into her current academic career.

We talk about:

Choosing to focus on work you love and where it feels like you can have the most impact rather than trying to do it all.The importance of mentorship, peer relationships, and being thoughtful with giving and receiving feedback.Getting rid of the mom guilt by sharing your excitement about work with your kids.
