In today's episode, I discuss why writing and publishing are the catalyst for change in your career. An obvious benefit of changing your writing practice is that you publish more and get your unique perspective out into the world in an impactful way. But that's just the beginning. Shifting your focus to writing doesn't just improve your output—it can transform how you approach your entire career.

I'll explore the most powerful results of nurturing your writing practice, such as enhancing your self-trust, encouraging better decision-making, and establishing a work-life balance.

If you're an academic, this episode will shed light on why so many professors struggle with writing and publishing, and how changing your writing practice can lead to a more fulfilling and joyful career. Tune in for insights into the real, lasting impact that focusing on your writing has on building the academic career and life you want.
