Abstract
Abstract This article offers a mid-career reflection on life in academia. Using a feminist-existentialist-Buddhist lens, I acknowledge structural and societal obstacles while embracing my sense of agency. I elucidate challenges I faced related to adjustable perspectives and learnable skills, and I offer insights and strategies related to time management, discipline, persistence, and facing inner demons. Finally, I share my vision for the remainder of my career in terms of intervention research, mentoring, and dissemination efforts.
