Is academic writing supposed to feel this lonely…or have we just accepted it as normal? What if the real barrier to writing isn’t motivation, but isolation?

Hey co-authors! In this episode, we explore why so many scholars feel cut off from others when writing and how that loneliness undercuts our productivity, passion, and well-being. We uncover the social, institutional, and cultural forces that keep us isolated—and share concrete strategies to build connections, boost mental health, and reignite your joy in academic writing.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Identifying and understanding root causes of loneliness in academia.
• Structuring you life in ways that make room for your writing and for others.
• Developing concrete actions for connecting with others through our writing.

Breaking the loneliness cycle isn’t just good for your mental health, but a secret weapon for more productive, fulfilling writing.Ready to transform your writing life? If you find this podcast helpful, subscribe and leave a review!
