Have you ever looked at your CV and thought, “I did all that…but who was it all for?” Have you chased deadlines, won awards, and met every metric, but feel further from the ideas that first inspired you?

Hey co-authors! In this episode, we’re talking about how to protect your academic identity and purpose in a system that all-too-often rewards output over authenticity.

• Define what enough looks like for you, so your academic path reflects who you are—not just what’s rewarded.

Tune in to learn how to preserve your purpose, realign your goals, and keep your scholarship centered on what truly matters to you.
