Podcast

[I'M] Possible Podcast. -- from the LGBTQA Resource Center at Northeastern

"Welcome to the [I’M]Possible Podcast! A space dedicated to holding conversations surrounding identity in the workplace and how to build a resilient future fueled by individual passion and purpose. Across our episodes, we chat about the symbiosis of work and identity in a global context, as well as address the elephant in the room that is on every professional’s mind: “how can I build the life that I want?”.  Through intimate discussions drawing upon the backgrounds and experiences of an eclectic troupe of professionals from all scopes of life and identities, we cultivate a diversified perspective on how you can embrace and honor thyself, your potential, and your ability to achieve a future that is personal and defined by you."
