Watching art videos makes me happy. Making them? I didn't know it would bring joy to my life 🎨
This is the art channel I started with my family. It features my father-in-law, Bob. The videos are by my husband, Matthew. I took most of the photos too 📸 🫶 youtu.be/Yqj4FO55mzk
Are you an overcommitted researcher? What does that feel like?
If you're at the end of the semester, save this for later. Once you've rested a bit, you may find this video with Dr. Stefanie Robel helpful for you in the new year ✨🎙️🎧

In academia but thinking about leaving? I chat with Dr. Jen Polk of @FromPhDToLife and Dr. Paulina Cossette in this episode of The Social Academic podcast.
How does sharing your story change over time? Perspectives from coaches who help with job search / starting a business.
Want to team up for your personal academic website or online presence?
There's a couple of times left to meet about working together tomorrow (Thursday, December 18, 2025). Then, plenty of availability on my calendar for you in January 2026 ✨
Let's chat on Zoom 😄
Show and Tell feels like going back to elementary school in the best kind of way.
When I joined the Association of Higher Education Consulting and Coaching, I was delighted to meet people I care about.
The last Show and Tell? Warm and welcoming. Now it's my turn ✨
"Can we talk about my academic website now? I can't start until January, my end of semester schedule is packed."
Yes. Schedule a call about teaming up in 2026. We can dream together about your website on Zoom and have a plan in place for the new year 🌱
