  • Summary

  • In this episode of the Career Adjunct podcast, Iliana speaks with Laura Hartmann-Villalta. She shares how she pursued a PhD to lend credibility to her dream of writing a meaningful book, hoping it would also lead to a full-time academic position. Instead, she navigated adjunct life, juggling part-time roles until she landed a rare full-time "unicorn role."

    In this episode, Laura shares lessons from her journey, the resilience it required, and how she stayed true to her goals despite the challenges. A must-listen for anyone balancing big dreams with the realities of adjunct work.
