Finish Your Dissertation Institute

You Can Finish Your Dissertation

(even if you have zero motivation to write.)

 
The Finish Your Dissertation Institute gives you the structure, support, and accountability to write your dissertation in 12 months or less—without burning out, doing it alone, or waiting to “feel ready."
ENROLL NOW
How many more moments are you going to let pass while you wait for motivation that’s never coming? 
 
You already know what needs to be done. You keep hoping it’ll feel easier someday. It won’t.
 
That’s not because you’re broken—it’s because no one taught you how to do this part.

Here's The Real Cost of Not Finishing:

⏳ TIME

You’re sacrificing time with your kids, partner, and community. FYD helps you write consistently in just 10 hours a week—so you can get your degree without losing your life in the process.

💾 MONEY

Every extra semester is another tuition bill. Most chairs are stretched thin. FYD provides structured, consistent support that saves you thousands in delayed graduation fees.

đŸ˜© ENERGY

This process is mentally exhausting. You’re juggling work, family, and a dissertation you weren’t taught how to write. FYD gives you a system that simplifies what to do, when to do it, and how to keep moving—even on your worst days.

You Don’t Need More Time To Write.

You Need a System. 

Staying stuck is draining your energy and your tuition account.

But finishing doesn’t take more hustle—it takes a smarter system.

One that shows you exactly what to do each week, holds you accountable, and removes the mental clutter.

Introducing The

Finish Your Dissertation Institute

Write smarter, graduate faster, and get your life back—without burning out in the process.

Step One: Get A Plan

You’re juggling work, family, and life—but no one ever taught you how to manage a dissertation on top of all that. That’s why we give you the Scholar Planning Routine—a simple weekly system that breaks down your entire dissertation into 10 focused hours a week. No guesswork. No overwhelm. Just a clear plan that actually fits your life. 

Step Two: Get to Writing  

Reading everything isn’t writing—and you don’t have time to waste.
Our Scholar Writing Routine gives you a step-by-step system for turning your ideas into pages. From outlining to editing to responding to feedback, you’ll follow simple checklists that help you write 10 pages in 10 hours or less—every single time.

Step Three: Get Confident

Writing your dissertation is only half the battle—you also have to explain it. Our Defend With Confidence training helps you prepare for every meeting, draft review, and defense. You’ll know what to say, how to say it, and how to advocate for your work with clarity and conviction.

A Plan is Only As Good As Your Follow-Through. 

 Let’s be real—knowing what to do isn’t the problem. It’s staying consistent, staying focused, and staying out of your own way.

That’s why the Finish Your Dissertation Institute doesn’t just give you a 3-step method—we give you the structure, support, and accountability to actually use it. 

Here’s how we make sure you don’t fall off—again:

🎓 Real students. Real results. Real doctors. 

Dr. Roshaunda Breeden

This is your sign that you deserve to have something for you where you can get this done, you can feel whole, happy, and free. Then you can move on and do anything else that you want to do.

Dr. Paula Maez

No one actually teaches us how to write a dissertation. Being in FYD program allows for timelines, lists, and ways to be able to get the dissertation done without all the stress and all the time that you are spending on it now.

Dr. Katherine Cho

We're invested in these systems that socialize us to feel like we're not experts...that we don't belong here. All of that is socially constructed and that's why we need community.

Dr. GaBrielle Mallet

I recommend the Finish Your Dissertation Institute for anyone who is stuck in dissertation phase, for people who need to learn. You can do this dissertation and you can dissertation in like 20 minutes a day. You don't have to sit there for hours and hours.

Dr. Natasha Winston

So many times we start this process and we do not know if the end is ever going to come. But through this program, you start to see a glimmer and then the light starts to get bigger. That's why I say join, join, join. It's the best decision that I could have ever made. 

Dr. Donté Miller

Having someone to help me formulate my thoughts and be there as a supportive ear was invaluable. I have a great advisor, but being part of a community who relates to my experiences, especially in terms of race, has been second to none.

Hi, I'm Dr. Lacy 

AND I FINISHED MY DISSERTATION PROPOSAL IN 2 MONTHS

I also completed the rest of my dissertation (IRB approval, data collection, and completed dissertation draft) in 2 months, but that’s a story for another time.

I had an amazing dissertation chair but she was low-key concerned that I wouldn’t ever start or finish my proposal.

And if I’m honest, I just wanted to run away from the program and live out my dreams wearing Hawaiian shirts and stocking shelves at the local Trader Joe’s. 

But, when my friend Lamesha challenged me to write for 10 minutes, everything changed for me. I wrote my entire proposal in less than six weeks.

I know that with the tools and resources inside of the Finish Your Dissertation Institute you too will be on the graduation stage in no time.

If you are a doctoral student

writing a qualitative dissertation but can’t quite figure out how to consistently put words on the page, then we definitely need to work together.

I will show you how to follow a simple 10-hour weekly writing routine that will be your new secret weapon for finishing your proposal in the next 90 days.

Over the past 8 years, I’ve helped hundreds of students write their proposals (100+ are now doctors). I know I can help you do the same.

I SEE YOU, FRIEND 

You’ve been telling yourself that things will be different, but there’s always some unexpected project or emergency always interrupts your writing plans.

You’re so worried that you’ll run out of time, motivation, and money before you can finish your dissertation.

And truthfully
you’re tired of feeling the weight of this dissertation hanging over your head. 

If you knew what to do, you would work as long as possible to get it done. But, everyone seems to know what to do except you, and it’s time that we put an end to that.

Prepare to write your dissertation in the next 12 months.

Finish Your Dissertation is for you if:

  • You have a clear topic, and you’re willing to dedicate 10 hours a week.
  • You take action FAST - and are willing to ask questions when you get confused.
  • You show up and try even when you feel uncomfortable.  
  • You love learning new strategies to improve your writing and time management habits.

  • You want someone to do all the work for you.
  • You’re comfortable with your current writing progress (and that’s amazing!).
