Dr. Julia Galindo is a former faculty member in the Harvard Writing Program who has helped countless students navigate the challenges of college-level writing. She’s also a trained executive function coach and specializes in helping writers break down overwhelming tasks or break through the blocks that are keeping them from writing. Prior to becoming a coach, she taught the popular course: The Psychology of Success and Failure. In addition to having taught writing, Julia also brings over five years of experience tutoring students at the Harvard Graduate School of Education’s Writing Center and her work as an editor on the Harvard Educational Review.
In this episode, we dive into Julia's journey from academia to entrepreneurship. She shares her insights on the burnout she experienced as faculty, the liberating process of leaving academia, and the skills she's leveraged to build a freelance editing business.
We also explore the importance of finding a balance between coaching clients and dedicating time to solo work (good for introverts or HSPs, highly sensitive people, like Julia and me), and Julia's passion for helping students overcome the obstacles they face in their academic pursuits.
So, if you're struggling with burnout in academia, or you’re an aspiring academic editor, I hope this conversation will help show you that you don’t have to stay where you’re unhappy, and you can indeed find joy by applying your academic training as a freelance editor.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ 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.
