    A Lifesaver for Busy Doctoral Candidates!
    As a current doctoral candidate juggling a full-time job in public education, I stumbled upon “The Podcast Office Hours” by Dr. Marvette Lacy during a desperate search for motivation. Dr. Lacy’s words were a game-changer, speaking to me in a way that rekindled my drive. Since that episode, I’ve found the focus I needed, and now I’m on track to finish strong by the summer. A true gem for those navigating the challenges of academia and professional life simultaneously!

    Great Resource
    When I finally started to take my dissertation a bit more seriously, I realized I needed to be surrounded around this work. When I did a search for Dissertation and doctoral work, I was pleasantly surprised to come across this podcast. It has been extremely helpful on my journey and I hope to graduate this year.
