Chapter 19: Roots in Transition- On Agriculture, Self-Doubt, and Graduation with Tommy Godwin

After weeks of writing, presenting, and overthinking every single page of my thesis, I’m finally back. This semester was a whirlwind, and somehow, I actually graduated. In this episode, I sit down with my friend Tommy Godwin, who also just crossed the stage, to reflect on everything we’ve learned, unlearned, and are still figuring out.

Tommy, a double major in Agroecology and International Studies with a minor in Soil Science, shares what it’s like to feel out of place in your own field. I talk about the moments that tested my confidence, the silent awkwardness of dancing across the graduation stage, and the messy beauty of letting go and moving forward.

If you’re standing at a crossroads, between dreams and doubts, identity and direction, this one’s for you. We talk about the non-linear paths we’ve taken, the impact of community, and how growth often comes from the messiest soil.

To everyone out there, happy summer. Please hydrate, don’t burn in the sun, and whenever you’re stuck in traffic, on your way to work, or just avoiding your to-do list, feel free to tune in. This space is always here for you.

And no, this is not a goodbye, just a soft pause. The Identity Library will be back for Season 2. Until then, take care of your roots, and I’ll see you soon.
