About this listen

Dr. Stacey Garrepy explores writing anxiety and the inner critic, sharing a personal story about harsh feedback and the physical, emotional toll it can take on academic writers.

She offers practical strategies—self-compassion, mindfulness (5-4-3-2-1), creating a supportive environment, short regular writing sessions, reframing the inner critic as a coach, and celebrating small wins—to help writers move from paralysis to progress.

This episode normalizes writing anxiety, addresses challenges faced by nontraditional and non-native English writers, and gives clear tools to reclaim confidence and momentum in scholarly work.
