362: Client Spotlight: Dr. Jeanette Villanueva Padilla on Finishing a Doctorate with Intention

In this client spotlight, I speak with Dr. Jeanette Villanueva Padilla about her journey from completing her master’s degree to earning her doctorate while parenting, working full time in higher education, and navigating uncertainty along the way. She describes that season of life as a “kaleidoscope” and reflects on how coaching supported her in clarifying priorities, managing time and energy, building sustainable writing practices, setting boundaries, and staying connected to her why. Now a senior higher education leader with 26 years of experience and Senior Budget Manager for MBA Programs at USC Marshall, Dr. Villanueva Padilla shares how she pays it forward by mentoring peers and supporting students of color, and offers encouragement about patience, faith, and honoring your own timeline.
