We continue with vintage – yet evergreen – recordings. It seems like everyone struggles with the desire to quit at times. It’s a natural response to external forces, but you can summon internal forces to manage that impulse. We’re not saying don’t qu... more
Academics are bailing in unprecedented numbers, and academia has finally started to notice. Karen was interviewed twice in the past couple weeks–once in Nature, once in the Chronicle — about mass resignations by tenured folks, and the new Professor I... more
Perfection is the enemy of productivity, but almost all academics struggle with perfectionism. How to resist its siren song? Kel shares her coaching insights from her Unstuck: The Art of Productivity program to give strategies for shutting down the d... more

Failed academic who has parlayed her failure into a multi-media grift based on misinformation and scare-mongering. Stay away, don’t pay!
They talk so much with each other about the things that are clear to them but not to others and they don't try to explain them further! I wasn't feeling good listening to them. Something is wrong with this podcast….
Karen and her team’s views are not all correct and some of them are outdated. Sometimes they just want you to buy their service, which is quite expensive. I listened to her podcast and bought her service but very disappointed. My sincere suggestion is that finding senior or junior professors or cohorts in your field and ask their opinion. Believe me—that’s way more helpful and correct!
Karen and her team offer practical, insightful tips and advice for ABD and nontenured academic professionals. Listen and learn !
I started listening to this podcast in my final year of grad school and am really glad I did. Hosts Karen and Kel, as well as their interviewees, bring a grounded, self-aware, realistic, nuanced, and generous perspective to various topics related to surviving and thriving as an intellectual with ethics, whether inside or outside the academy.
