1. I’m super busy—how will this help me?

The Her Academic Archetype is a free 3-day coaching experience designed specifically for busy mid-career female academics. And I know you’re busy!

What I’ve discovered is that even when we know all the strategies for prioritizing, setting goals, and making plans, we often struggle to stick to them because “reality” or mind drama takes over. Procrastination, self-doubt, or perfectionism can derail us.

Her Academic Archetype helps uncover the unique patterns—your academic archetype—that influence how you get stuck and, more importantly, how you can get unstuck. This insight will help you stick to your plans, make better priorities, and find the time to focus on what truly matters in your work life.

 

2. Who is this for?

I’ve designed this for mid-career female academics. Whether you’re dealing with self-doubt, an overwhelming workload, or the struggle to prioritize research amidst all the other demands of academia, this coaching experience will give you a whole new understanding of the strengths and challenges post-tenure.

If you’re earlier in your academic career, you’re absolutely welcome to join—I’m sure there will be plenty for you to take away as well!

 

3. What is the focus of Her Academic Archetype?

By the end of the three days, you’ll:

• Understand your unique academic archetype.

• Learn strategies to navigate academia with confidence tailored to your archetype.

• Take small, actionable steps toward a thriving academic career—without the overwhelm.

 

4. I really don’t have time and can’t join live. What should I do?

For three days, we’ll meet at 12:00 noon CET / 11:00 AM UK time for 90 minutes. While I strongly encourage you to join live to get the most out of the experience, recordings of each session will be uploaded to a private replay page and our Facebook group. You’ll have access to these recordings for the following week, so you can catch up whenever it suits you.

​

5. What happens during the coaching sessions? Is it interactive or more like a lecture?

Each 90-minute session is a mix of a short lecture and interactive group coaching. I’ll guide the group through impactful questions, and you’ll have time to journal your responses, making this a highly personalized process while also benefiting from the group’s dynamic.

This approach often resonates deeply with participants, and many leave with new “aha” or “eureka” moments that shift their perspective.

​

6. Will I need to share personal details about my struggles in a group setting?

Not at all! You can share as much or as little as you’re comfortable with. I’ll encourage you to share insights in the chat during the sessions, but it’s completely up to you.

If you prefer, you can change your name or join without a camera to participate anonymously. While sharing openly can enhance the experience, it’s essential that you feel safe.

Please note: the calls are recorded but will only be available to participants and only for a week.

 

7. Is it really FREE?

Yes, the entire experience is 100% FREE!

This is the first time I’m presenting the academic archetypes, and I want to use this three-day experience to learn and refine the framework alongside you. It’s my way of giving back to the academic community and helping as many mid-career female academics as possible.

There are no hidden costs, no strings attached—just an opportunity for you to gain insights and support to thrive in your career.

 

8. What are you selling during this coaching experience?

At the end of the experience, I’ll invite you to continue working with me through The Breakthrough Scholar group coaching program to receive ongoing support.

That said, Her Academic Archetype is designed to be a complete and transformative experience in itself—it’s not a three-day sales pitch! If you know me, you know I don’t hold back on teaching everything I can.

Some participants choose to keep working with me, while others don’t—and either way, you’re most welcome to join the challenge.
