Grown Ups

Family Reunion

Welcome back to "The Talk with (Almost) PhD Ambi"! We are celebrating the final episode of Season 1 on Identity, with the communal focus of what identity looks like within Family Systems. What roles do you identify playing in your current family system(s) versus the roles other family members assign to you? Do these roles always align with one another or does there end up being friction? How do you maintain your self-identity as an adult while maintaining interconnectedness within your family system, especially within collective cultures? Join your fave psych sista as she closes out this amazing season discussing narrative therapy, self-differentiation, birth order, & breaking intergenerational curses throughout our family ties <3

Work Hard, Play Hard

Welcome back to "The Talk with (Almost) PhD Ambi"! The overarching Season 1 topic of Identity has taken us so many places - but now Amber Clunie helps you focus on what that looks like in academia and at work. What is the first thing you get asked in today's society (outside of your name)? Occupation, school, degrees, etc. have become forms of currency, literally! Aside from that, it may be difficult to divide your work/academic and authentic selves. We're back joining our behavioral babe as she takes you on a journey of what identity looks like in academia and the workplace, while battling common struggles like belonging strain, imposter syndrome, and burnout!

Grown Ups

Individuals may think that identity in adulthood is all said and done, but it's just getting started! Join our psychology hottie as she discusses different stages of adulthood, narrative therapy, and the possible selves concept - all roads that can lead to reinvention in adulthood identity.
