Welcome to The PhD Journey Unplugged Podcast, a platform to talk about mental, physical, and social-emotional health based on Dr. Sarah L. Gordon's PhD journey.

In Episode 31, Dr. Gordon discusses the value of building social connections within the context of a sense of community and the magic that happens when you open yourself up to those connections. She shares her experiences as a doctoral student in an asynchronous learning environment and how building a sense of community enhanced her learning experience.

Dr. Gordon also gives examples of the "power of community" at her pool, where she sees how social interactions spread friendships and an overall positive experience.
