This is the theme of my whole book! It’s what makes leaving so hard, or rather what keeps people trapped in academia. No other achievement can measure up.
I’m so glad you’re writing this book, Karen! It’s going to be so helpful for so many people. It’s going to help a lot of folks feel less alone in the process.
Thank you! it makes me sad though that after all these years where the majority of PhD‘s have had to leave academia, that people still feel so alone. That just speaks to the power of the brainwashing? Mythologizing?
Achievement burnout is different from exhaustion. Exhaustion asks you to rest. Achievement burnout asks you to question whether you've been chasing someone else's definition of done.
As for " which PNP posts resonated most with my coaching clients"... This is it, this is it, this is it.
I’m so glad, Diana! Thanks for filling my cup as always.

precisely. And the definition of "done" is never really articulated definitively enough to be useful.
