Just the Next Step: From Angst to Achieving


A guided workshop to help doctoral scholars move their dissertation proposal forward without needing the entire plan.


Flexible session dates available - choose the one that works best for your schedule.

You smile when asked,
“How’s your dissertation going?”

But inside, you feel discouraged, confused, and quietly afraid you’re failing.

😌 You sit down to write and your body reacts (tight chest, racing thoughts, instant shutdown).
😌 You question whether you should take a break, step away, or leave the program altogether.
😌 You feel like a high achiever everywhere except here.

You are not lazy.

You are not broken.

You are not alone.


You don't need the entire plan, just the next step!


When everything feels overwhelming, the pressure to “figure it all out” can be paralyzing.

This workshop is rooted in the belief that clarity, peace, and momentum come from taking one faithful, supported step at a time—not from forcing yourself to have everything mapped out.

In this 1-hour workshop, you will:

😁 Shift your scholar identity and voice
Learn how identity (not discipline) is often the real barrier to writing progress.

😁 Identify one writing milestone for the next 7 days
Not 30 days. Not “someday.” One clear, doable milestone.

😁 Clarify your very next actionable writing step
So you know exactly what to do the next time you write.

😁 Name and celebrate progress
Choose one intentional way you’ll celebrate when you reach your milestone because progress deserves to be celebrated.

This workshop is for doctoral scholars who

  • Feel stuck, overwhelmed, or discouraged
  • Are questioning whether to continue or take a break
  • Know you are capable but don't feel confident, right now
  • Want peace in the process, not just productivity
