Failure is a temporary and subjective assessment of something external to you!

Regardless of how it feels in the moment, it is not an ontological statement about your humanity or future capability.

This is one of many gems 💎 shard by @drzoechitare . In this episode she shares her own experience with failure and then triumph in her PhD journey!

Has the PhD made you better at dealing with failure?

I’ve watched this episode more than five times… what about you? 👀

“There is a huge human dimension to regulatory practice.”

This reminder from Dr. Zoe Chitare (@drzoechitare) captures why I loved this conversation so much.

Together, we explored the complexities of regulation in healthcare. Zoe brought her perspective from regulatory law, while I reflected on my experiences as a registered nurse and former academic teaching on regulated programmes, including the MSc in Advanced Clinical Practice and prescribing.

Different perspectives, but a shared interest in the people behind the policies, professional standards and decisions.

Whether you’re a practitioner, researcher or student, there’s something here to reflect on.

💬 What stood out to you?

Windsor-Essex Chapter did it again 🎉!

@we_rnao organised another amazing evening celebrating nurses within the region. We were honoured to host the new President of RNAO, Sue LeBeau for the evening (second pic).

It was a fun filled evening with nursing students, Registered Nurses, educators.

I have served as the Communications Executive Office for the past year, and as my tenure ends I am really proud of all we have achieved. Next year I move into my new role as Social Media Executive Officer, and hope to do the job justice.

Also, can you believe I have been an RN for 11 years 🫢!

Lynn, it was so lovely seeing you in Canada during the FIP Conference. ❤️

After all the conversations, laughter, and moments we’ve shared over the years, getting to spend time with you there was truly special. Some friendships have a way of making every encounter feel warm and familiar, no matter where in the world you find yourselves.

It was wonderful seeing you, Lynn. Here’s to many more moments like this. ❤️🇨🇦✨ taken in Montreal, Canada by @researchwithlynn

The rules may look clear on paper. Real life rarely is.

In the latest episode of Philosophy of Practice, I speak with Dr Zoe Chitare (@drzoechitare ), a socio-legal scholar whose work explores law, justice and power in everyday life.

Our conversation moves across professional regulation, Ubuntu, the hidden structures shaping practice, and the doctoral journey—including the search for academic validation and the movement between invisibility and hypervisibility during a PhD.

For those of us undertaking doctoral study, this conversation asks an important question:

How much of what we experience as personal is actually being shaped by structures we cannot immediately see?

What invisible rule have you encountered in academia or professional practice?

The full episode is available now. Comment ZOE below and I’ll send you the link.

One depressing thought that has burdened me since successfully defending my thesis 2 months ago…

‘Am I truly a life long learner, or am I just another victim of the credentialist pressures of modernity?’

This conversation with Dr. Noni (@drnoni_happywriting), an academic, researcher and humanitarian explores the properties of a life long learner, why these properties are important to weather the storms ahead!

This was one of the highlights from Episode 1 of The Philosophy of Practice Podcast (@popwithlynnherdzik)

Coming up this weekend, the episode with Dr. Zoe Chitare is released and we explore her philosophy of practice as a socio-legal scholar, regulatory paralegal and researcher!

You don’t need to have your entire career figured out before you begin!!!!

In this conversation, Dr Noni reminded me:

“You can’t get anywhere unless you’re actually moving.”

Your first job may not be your ideal job. It may not resemble the career described in the university brochure. But it can still provide experience, skills, relationships—and clarity about what you want next.

She reflects on her own journey from Applied Mathematics to Qualitative Researcher, and I reflect on Nursing, Physician Associate studies to PhD!

Moving forward does not mean abandoning the destination you hope to reach. It means allowing yourself to begin before the entire route becomes visible.

What opportunity helped you understand where you wanted to go next?

Individual error or system failure, where do you think responsibility sits?

For me, learning about James Reason’s work gave me the motivation to get involved in service through governance and trying to encourage system change for my profession!

We’ve been asking whether AI will replace professionals.

But maybe that’s the wrong question.

Technology has been replacing tasks for a very long time — including in professions where expertise, judgement and creativity still matter.

So perhaps the more interesting question is:

If AI can take over some of the things you currently do, what is left that makes you a professional?

And what happens when that starts to change?

🌟 Coming this season 💫
