On today's episode I’m thrilled to welcome Dr. Cathy Mazak, founder of Scholars Voice and host of the Academic Writing Amplified podcast, for an insightful conversation on the unique challenges that mid-career academics face. Cathy shares her expertise on how tenured scholars—particularly women and non-binary faculty—can redefine their goals and build meaningful support networks in this transformative career stage.

Listen in to gain practical strategies for tackling unfinished projects, balancing administrative responsibilities, and sustaining a productive writing practice. Whether you’re looking to rekindle your scholarly passion or refine your focus post-tenure, this episode offers really valuable guidance!
