In this episode, one of the members of my first group coaching cohort, Niki Tulk, PhD, PhD, MFA, joins me to discuss the transition from academia to editing.
Niki has such a fabulous sense of humor, so this episode will make you LOL (and there's a guest appearance by her rescue dog, Lily!).
But she also gets to the heart of the problems with academia--and how this affects so many of us emotionally, and even physically.
From day 1 of our cohort, Niki hit the ground running and fully embraced her new life as an academic editor. She immediately was hired by an editing agency and has now edited dozens of documents for them!
Other important points from this interview:
- How your experience as a faculty member or scholar helps you intuitively provide feedback to other scholars as an editor
- What it's like to complete those first freelance editing jobs
- How the framework of the Becoming an Academic Editor course and the personalized feedback eliminate the guesswork and help you stay on track in successfully building this new business
- When you leave academia, you no longer have to squeeze yourself into the restrictive box of other people's expectations--you can be free to float on a cloud of your own design (it makes sense when we talk about it! š)
If you've been struggling in academia and you feel like you're alone in these challenges, this is the episode for you.
You are NOT alone, and our community is here to support you--whether you want to start editing/coaching as a side hustle or you're ready to kiss toxic academia goodbye and edit full time. š

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davisā life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
