The Write Habit

From Burnout to Healing: How Writing and Community Saved Me

Dr Nicole Janz

Have you ever felt like you’re juggling too much—your job, family, and creative aspirations—and it’s all falling apart?

In this deeply personal episode, I share a snippet from my interview on the Academic Misfits Podcast with Luna Muñoz, where I opened up about my academic burnout, the challenges of motherhood, and the pressure to have it all.

But this episode isn’t just about burnout—it’s about hope. I reveal how writing and community became my lifelines, helping me heal and rediscover my identity beyond academia.

If you’re a writer feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of your next steps, this episode is for you.
