support for academics who don't want to burn out
In the world of higher education, burnout feels inevitable.
While the avenues into and through academia are changing, most of us still spend the first seven (or so) years on campus, doing whatever it takes to achieve tenure. We "publish or perish", improve our teaching, and say “yes” to just about every service opportunity that arises. "I just need to get tenure," we tell ourselves, "then I'll figure out some kind of work-life balance."
Land the job. Get the grant. Publish the book. Chair the task force.
Each achievement creates a sense of pride and relief, but can also leave in its wake a mere ember of the passion we used to feel for our discipline and our belief that our work matters.
That's a sure-fire path to burnout.
Can you answer "yes" to any of these questions?
Are you feeling both trapped and liberated, by tenure?
Do you wonder what the next seven to ten years of your scholarly career will look like?
Do you have ideas for several projects, and no clue which one to pursue first?
Did tenure and promotion bring with them new leadership possibilities that you’re uncertain and excited about?Â
Are you wondering about how to structure a more sustainable balance between service, research, and teaching in the next chapter of your academic career?

I've been there, but I didn't stay there.Â
And you don't have to either.Â
I can help you find your spark, fan it into a flame, and sustain that fire.Â
For good.Â
"Reignite helped me to step away from the go, go, go of my normal academic life and take a good, hard look at what my priorities are, what I want them to be, and how to get there.
It reminded me that self-care makes me a better professor and person."
