have you ever wished for a place where you could be honest about how hard grad school is, and get actual, thoughtful support?
do you feel isolated from your peers, colleagues, campus, or field? or like the only person who is struggling right now?
are you looking for a space to learn more about the Actual Work of being a scholar (reading, writing, professionalisation, and the other million things you need to do!!) without having to feel embarrassed about not knowing how to do it yet?
“Thrive PhD helped normalize the struggles and difficulties during graduate school and made me feel much less alone while defending my thesis. Without Katy and Thrive, I sometimes wonder if I would’ve dropped out by now. Instead, I am working on my dissertation proposal, my relationship with my advisor has drastically improved, and I have more work/life balance than ever before during grad school. ”
“This is the only space full of other academics where I don’t feel ashamed, judged, or alone when I veer off-course, fall short of my goals, or have a really terrible day (or month...). It’s a community of really kind, generous, supportive people who make me feel like I can do it... and I did it. I also really appreciate that there is no “one-size-fits-all” advice, just a lot of tools/ resources/ metaphors to work with so you can find what works for you. ”
