Graduate school after 40? You can do it!
(I did! Twice!)

Attending grad school in your 40s, 50s, or beyond can feel overwhelming—but it’s also one of the most empowering, life-expanding decisions you can make. Whether you're seeking a new career, deepening your expertise, or finally pursuing the academic dream you put on hold, this course is your roadmap.

Taught by a certified life coach who completed an M.A. in her mid-30s, and a Ph.D. and a second Master's degree after 40—juggling family, work, and the occasional existential crisis—you’ll get honest, practical guidance, and plenty of encouragement for every step of the journey.

From choosing the right program to navigating applications, and imposter syndrome, this course walks you through what it really takes to succeed as a mature student. You’ll learn how to study smarter (not longer), how to communicate confidently with professors who may sometimes be half your age, and how to manage the competing demands of work, school, and life without burning out.

This isn’t just about surviving grad school—it’s about thriving on your own terms, with clarity and purpose. If you're wondering whether it's too late, too difficult, or too much of a risk to begin again, this course will give you the tools and mindset to say: I’ve got this.
