Cultivate joy in writing

Join me to identify what you really value and use that to direct your time and attention. Move more fully toward satisfaction, fulfillment, and meaningful connection in academia.

Lauren Headshot

Rethink your relationship to academia

Radical possibility is about finding the joy in writing, teaching, and mentoring. To do this, we need to learn how to set healthy boundaries, reassess when, how, and why we write, and question the assumptions we carry about teaching and service.

I didn’t start to publish more, mentor in more meaningful ways, and still take the weekends off because I “found the time.” I make the time by leading with my values. Creating radical possibility means changing the way we research, write, teach, and mentor to be more ourselves in academic spaces.

Let me help make academia work for you.
