Welcome to the very first episode of Publish Not Perish: The Podcast! In this inaugural episode, I’m peeling back the layers of academia to share five things I really wish we all learned in grad school.
From how to write academic genres step-by-step to managing big writing projects, protecting your time, resisting overwork culture, and choosing kindness over brilliance—I’m naming what so many of us had to figure out the hard way. If you’ve ever felt like you were dog-paddling through academia without a clear map, this one’s for you.
Whether you’re still in grad school or years into a faculty role, this episode is a reminder: it’s not too late to learn the skills you never got taught—and it’s not your fault you didn’t learn them sooner. Let’s bring more clarity, support, and grace into academic life.
