Burned Out by the Academy? Here's How One Scholar Reclaimed Her Joy

Burned Out by the Academy? Here's How One Scholar Reclaimed Her Joy

with Jenn McClearen, PhD
Durée : 44:33
Lecture
What do you do when the academic job you worked so hard for starts to cost you too much?
In this week’s episode of Leaving Academia: Becoming a Freelance Editor, I’m joined by Jenn McClearen, PhD, a former assistant professor who walked away from a nearly complete tenure application and moved to the Netherlands to build a business that honors her values.
Jenn is now a writing coach and developmental editor helping early-career scholars overcome perfectionism, procrastination, and fear of criticism—so they can reclaim writing as a joyful, sustainable practice.
We discuss:
🎯 The mindset shifts that helped her leave academia
🎯 How she built her business around care and consent (not hustle and hierarchy)
🎯 Why marketing doesn’t have to feel gross when you lead with your values
If you’re looking for a way to use your academic skills without sacrificing your well-being, this episode is a must-listen.
Jenn’s story is proof that finding joy outside the academy is possible—not just for her, but for you too. 🐦‍🔥

Description

In 2019, I was a political science professor who was fed up with the stress and hostility of academia–not to mention the low pay. I left my tenure-track job and went from barely surviving to thriving as a freelance academic editor. Today, I own Acadia Editing Services, an editing and coaching business that brings in six figures a year. 
In this podcast, I’ll discuss the challenges of academia, what academic editing involves, and what life as a freelancer looks like. If you’re willing to jump outside your comfort zone, it IS possible to find joy, true flexibility, and a profitable and rewarding career as an academic editor.
