calling all wrung out faculty
Get off the hamster wheel and into a faculty life you LOVE (versus low-key dream of escaping) with Makeover, a personalized 16-week coaching program.
There is always more work than time in academia.
And the pressure is even higher if you're:
- Caring for children and/or elderly family members
- Buried by heavy service commitments
- A woman of color or other marginalized faculty
- Doing work that challenges systems of oppression
If you're stretched so thin you're about to snap, you're not alone.
one with the freedom, flexibility, and work-life harmony you deserve.
Get a Makeover coach and gain:
Fierce focus on the important areas of your life, including those beyond work like your well-being and relationships.
Time freedom so you can finally have enough space for deep work, connection, and self-care in your daily life.
Mindset for success that disrupts those sticky internalized beliefs slowing you down or keeping you stuck.
Massive momentum toward achieving your goals in sustainable, healthy ways that align with your values.
"I transitioned from utterly depleted and resigned to feeling hopeful and purposeful about how I will set priorities in my life and make more space for joyful living moving forward."
Heather Bachman, PhD
Associate Professor, University of Pittsburgh

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How is Makeover different from other coaching programs I've seen?
Here are three differences our clients rave about:
(1) Makeover gives you exactly what you need—and nothing you don't—to design a kick-butt faculty life. This high level of personalization is miles apart from one-size-fits-all group programs.
(2) Our coaches are moms, women of color faculty, and justice scholars, so we see you and the invisibilized barriers to your success and well-being.
(3) We're obsessed with making change easier with practical tools grounded in psychological science and proven to work with hundreds of faculty just like you.
Do you have experience helping faculty in [insert your discipline/university type]?
We have coached faculty from fields as diverse as psychology, history, dance, biology, and nursing, from research to comprehensive universities.
Do you only work with women of color?
No. But we're not for everyone. We work best with faculty who seek:
(1) sustainable, healthy progress (over productivity-at-all-cost approaches); and
(2) whole-person support that engages your work, well-being, and cultural identities (e.g., gender, race, sexuality, and nationality).
If this is you, please reach out to get started on building a successful, nourishing faculty-life.
Do I have to talk to you before signing up?
Yes. We want you to have the best coaching experience possible. That means making sure WellAcademic is the best fit for what you seek. And in case you're wondering, these conversations are super casual with NO awkward high-pressure salesy talk. Pinky swear.
