I Can Do This Show Me How!

Welcome to “I Can Do This, Show Me How,” a podcast where each episode is an adventure on a transformative journey. I’m Dr. Linda Rose, your guide through the realms of empowerment and self-discovery. At age 34, I stepped onto the campus of West Los Angeles College to enter the PACE Program, feeling utterly out of place. Having barely graduating from high school and after spending over a decade as a secretary in the space and technology sector, I was burdened by an inner critic that whispered I wasn’t college material. Yet, driven by a deep desire to change not only my life but that of my children, I chose to silence that voice. This decision marked the beginning of a journey that would eventually see me soar to earn an AA, BA, and MA in 6 years while I worked full time and cared for two children. Then I earned a doctorate degree in educational leadership at age 54 to later become a community college president.

Now, I want to share this journey with you. Whether you’re contemplating a career change, transitioning from full-time employment, or seeking to rediscover your passions, this podcast is for you. We’ll navigate the path laid out by Joseph Campbell’s iconic ‘The Hero’s Journey.’ From the ordinary world to the call to adventure, through trials and revelations, we’ll explore these stages through personal stories and insights from my years of teaching, leading, guiding, and mentoring.

You will hear interviews with individuals who have dared to transform their lives. Each week, we’ll decode these mythical stages and apply them to our own lives—helping you find the courage to say, ‘I can do this! Show me how!’ Join me as we embark on a journey to find your path, reclaim, or create your narrative, and embrace the hero within.

Your adventure begins now!
