I wanted to speak with life and career coach Dr Lara Corr from Australia, because she had also transitioned out of academia due to burnout so I wanted to learn from her experience. She is also a researcher in women's work and mental wellbeing. As I got to know Lara from her emails and online coaching presence I loved her glowing positivity, it’s infectious. She also doesn’t hold back in expressing her thoughts about the lack of paid leave in the US, as an Australian observer. I always appreciate having the perspective and humor that an invigorating coach can bring.
