301: Welcoming 2026 as a Writing Year

301: Welcoming 2026 as a Writing Year

What if 2026 wasn't the year you tried to do everything, but the year you finally did the thing that most aligns with your academic mission statement?

In this episode, I'm officially inviting you to make 2026 your writing year. I've been planting this seed for a while now, especially as we collectively move through ongoing funding uncertainty and career volatility. Today, I want to slow down and really explain what I mean by a "writing year," why so many scholars are choosing this path right now, and how you can begin making this shift in a practical and sustainable way.

I walk you through what a writing year looks like, how it can become a powerful decision-making framework, and how I'll be supporting scholars throughout 2026 with free workshops, coaching series, and a newly redesigned podcast format. I also share details about my Navigate program.

If you're ready to lead your academic career with intention and make real progress on the academic papers that matter most, this episode is your starting point
