J LaChenaye , 10/01/2019

This is EXACTLY what I needed when I first started a tenure track position. Cathy’s style is laid back but her content hits the nail on the head. THANKS CATHY!

I stumbled on this podcast when searching for a podcast aimed at women in academia, and I’m so glad I did. It’s great to hear Cathy speaking directly about her own challenges and yet also encouragingly about how to change not only one’s own habits but also how by doing so each of us might (slowly) change the culture of these work environments. I’m looking forward to learning more moving forward. Thank you so much Cathy!!!

Love this and can’t wait to listen to more!

I love Cathy and her work! Cathy is a super positive person and amazing coach who I have had the privilege of working with through her Amplify program. I am excited to listen to these episodes weekly as reminders of the things I am learning in Amplify. I can’t say enough great things about Cathy and her podcast !!!
