Dr Rachel James – CLIENT STORY 

Rachel is a writer and a postdoctoral researcher at The University of Edinburgh and a former Daphne Jackson Trust fellow. 

In this episode we talk about: 

• The decision-making moment of pausing her academic career for motherhood and overcoming the fear of failure.
• How the Daphne Jackson Trust enabled Rachel to return to academic research after a career break by reducing the barriers to re-entry.
• The process of following your talents, strengths, and passions as a starting point for your next career pivot.
