You are not alone.

I want to be clear from the start: none of us can ever fully understand another person’s experience. Still, I’ve learned through my work with hundreds of academic clients and my own 20 years as a professor and academic leader that feelings of self-doubt and overwhelm are universal.

Thankfully, we can develop the self-trust and confidence needed to create the impactful career and life we imagine. And I’d love to help you do just that.

Whether you’re looking for a sense of community and increased productivity, would like one-on-one support tailored to your particular career and context, or simply wish to peruse our videos, books, meditations, or other resources, I hope you will feel seen here. And if you’re not sure what you’re looking for, this might help.

I also hope you’ll share your ideas and experiences with me. As I continue to develop new resources and programs to help academics of all backgrounds and identities thrive, your voice is needed.

Thanks for being here, and thanks for being you.

Warmly,
Elizabeth
