Dr. Rebecca Peabody
I am a cultural historian, author, editor, and certified life/career coach – as well as a twin mama. Following a PhD from Yale I launched a career in research and higher education, working as a professor and researcher, and have published seven books (and counting…). I’ve also led several major multi-institution initiatives focusing on art, culture, education, and DEAI-related issues. Along the way, I learned that what I valued most in my work was the time I spent with others, identifying their goals and challenges, and partnering with them to imagine – and then create – a unique, and inspiring path forward. That realization led me to become a coach.

As a coach, I specialize in career and life transformations, working with a range of clients in individual, group, and organizational settings. My areas of expertise include writers, academics (past, present, and future), health-seekers, and change-makers.
- I am passionate about helping writers clarify their goals and hone their abilities, while demystifying the publication process. I offer writing coaching, developmental editing, and writers’ workshops and retreats. An accomplished writer myself, I bring a deep familiarity with academic and scholarly publishing, as well as trade, and independent publishing.

An accomplished writer myself, I bring a deep familiarity with academic and scholarly publishing, as well as trade, and independent publishing.
- I am a long-time champion of graduate student professionalization and empowerment, as well as the importance of academic entrepreneurship. I have worked extensively in higher education to create changes around how PhD programs are structured, and how the degrees they grant can be made useful and relevant in a broader sphere, beyond academia. My coaching and consulting practice began in this arena, and I am passionate about continuing my work here. I am particularly well-versed in adapting PhD experiences and credentials for job markets that include, but extend well beyond, academia.
- I am also deeply invested in the world of health and wellness. I work with clients on a range of topics connected to diet, exercise, mindfulness, spirituality, fertility, menopause, and plant medicine. I offer conversation-based partnerships aimed at exploring potential, and overcoming challenges through committed practice, and accountability.

My coaching philosophy is built on the belief that inviting an intentional, and sustained conversation about one’s goals is a powerful tool for inspiring aligned action.
My coaching style draws on both analytical and intuitive ways of accessing knowledge, and focuses on the critical importance of balancing insight with integration.
Are you a writer? Academic (past, present, or future)? Career-changer? Life-changer? Are you living through a period of transition, or transformation – or would you like to be? Let’s talk…
