Show Notes

Wondering why I became a sabbatical coach and how I started my business? I was a guest on the podcast Leaving Academia: Becoming a Freelance Editor with Paulina Cossette, PhD, and today I'm re-airing that episode.

If you're curious about working with me, this episode will give a behind-the-scenes glimpse at why I do what I do.

If you're thinking about starting your own academia-adjacent side-business, you'll get insight into how I started my business, including: -how I defined my niche and identified the problem I solve for clients, -how I found my first clients, -when and how I created my website, -and how I've continued to attract clients (over 30 as of this broadcast!) while balancing my business with my academic job and life as a mom-without getting burned out.
