academia is a wild ride.
Whether you're an assistant professor, a postdoc, or another early-career scholar, you've probably already discovered that your path is unlike any other.
Autonomy and flexibility combined with extremely high (and often ambiguous) expectations create a unique set of challenges. It's common to feel like you're never doing enough.
Add in the political complexities of an academic environment and it can seem like you're navigating a minefield. The experience may leave you de-energized and overwhelmed. If you don't fit the typical professorial mold, the pressure can feel even more intense.
I hope the tools below will help you find peace and self-trust amid all that's swirling around you. If you don't find what you're looking for, please reach out to me. I add new resources periodically, and I want to be sure to provide the support you're seeking.
