Doing a PhD is damn difficult.

Especially when nobody explains half the stuff you're apparently supposed to know.

If you’re thinking, “Is it just me?!” - welcome to my corner of the PhD internet!


A PhD is brain-boggling enough without having to translate the “academic” advice out there into normal-person language.

Maybe you've been told that your work needs “more depth” or you need to be more critical, strengthen your methodology, develop your argument…

Lovely. BUT HOW?!

Or maybe you’ve been told to simply, “Read more”. GREAT. Thanks for that, so helpful. 🙄

Hi, I'm Dr Elizabeth Yardley. I help qualitative PhD researchers make sense of the bits nobody thought to explain properly – so you can spend less time wondering what on earth you're supposed to be doing and more time actually doing it. Learn more about me here.
