Office Hours with Dr. Lacy

If Your Brain Goes Blank Every Time You Try to Write, Listen to This

Dissertation

Every time you sit down to write, your brain goes blank. You know what the goal is—finish the dissertation—but the words just won't come. In this solo episode, Dr. Marvette Lacy breaks down exactly why this keeps happening. She shares how burnout, shame, and lack of clarity are working against you, and why more time isn't the answer—better energy management is. You'll learn about the Scholar Basics, the real reason your writing plan keeps falling apart, and the one question that can help you get unstuck today. If you've been showing up for everyone else and wondering why you can't show up for yourself, this episode is for you.
