If you’ve ever thought “it’s not just about time—I don’t have the energy” when it comes to your writing, you are not alone.

In this episode, Dr. Abigail Hogan joins me to talk about how she’s learned to align her writing practice with her energy patterns, and why doing so has been transformational for both her scholarship and her well-being.

Dr. Hogan shares what drew her to the Navigate program after participating in Amplify, and how she used the tools and coaching support to break through perfectionism, release the emotional weight of a long-stalled paper, and publish with confidence.

Whether you're mid-project, mid-semester, or just feeling a bit stuck, Abby’s story will leave you reflecting on how to approach your writing with more intention, clarity, and self-compassion.
