NicoleHave you ever felt like you’re juggling too much—your job, family, and writing—and it’s all falling apart?
In this deeply personal episode, open up about my academic burnout, the challenges of motherhood, and the pressure to have it all.
At some point, I felt triggered to even open my emails or go to campus on and teach. It all felt impossible and I was completely disillusioned with the academic system.
But this podcast is also about hope.
I reveal what helped me heal and how I rediscovered my identity beyond academia.
If you’re a writer feeling stressed out, overwhelmed, or unsure of your next steps to enjoy your writing life again, this episode is for you.

P.S. Congratulations to my 1-1 client V! 🎉
V is in the middle of an academic book and has consistently shown up to her tricky chapter – in the midst of political upheaval in the U.S. and busy times at work! A few months ago, that book was on the backburner and it was a decision between “dropping it” – or finally investing the time to get it done. And now it’s almost finished!
Clients finishing means that I will have one or two spots opening for 1-1 coaching starting in March and April. This works for academics, authors or entrepreneurs who need intensive mentoring to figure out their book, stay accountable and get it published.
If you have a book in you that’s nagging you to be written, schedule discovery call with me here.
