Elevate your leadership.
In the Happier in Higher Ed community, we want to lead authentically — creating spaces and nurturing teams that are innovative, collaborative, and deeply committed to student learning and development.
Fall in love with teaching again.
If you are drowning in endless grading and wondering why teaching includes so many tasks to do and so little transformation, you’re in the right space.
Create a life you love.
If you’re searching for authenticity, meaning, connections, and creativity in your work, you’re not alone. In the Happier in Higher Ed community, we imagine a world in which can do meaningful work and take care of ourselves so we create a life we love.
So dive in.
Get connected. Join the mailing list and be part of the community. (We’re just getting started!) Create more authentic, meaningful work. And love your life, again.
I’m so glad you’re here!

Hi, I’m Cathy!

I hope you’ll join me!
