You Aren't Broken--The Academy Is!
Find ways to reclaim joy in your academic career by aligning your calendar with your values and priorities.
Melissa Nicolas, PH.D.
Academia was ruining my mental and physical health. While I loved teaching and research, the mental load of being a professor was slowly depleting me.
I had a choice to make: either get out or find a way to reclaim my agency and thrive.
I'm still here because I love this career!
And once I became clear about the differences among what I had power over versus what I could only control my reaction to, life in a system not designed for personal well-being became livable, even joy-full again.
I am a tenured professor with over 30 years of experience in higher education in a variety of faculty and administrative roles.
