I’ve been where you are. In February 2020, I was awarded my Doctorate – but that nearly didn’t happen. I did not pass my first thesis defence—not because I wasn’t capable, but because I was overwhelmed, stuck in procrastination and avoidance, and battling imposter syndrome. After that setback, I was introduced to a Life Coach. It changed everything. With her help, I finished, resubmitted, and became Dr Stefanie Dringus, PhD. Now, as a Certified Coach, I want that for you too. I’m proof of what’s possible – and I’m here to help you achieve the same. You can begin moving your PhD forward TODAY – and start feeling better now – with my signature digital mini-course, ‘PhinisheD.’
Working with me is more than just getting your PhD done—it’s about transforming your entire experience. I’m deeply committed to helping you thrive, not just survive, during this process. Together, we’ll make incredible progress, and you’ll feel more confident along the way. My goal is to see you succeed while loving your journey.
I would NOT have finished my PhD when I did without PhinisheD. Stefanie is amazing, she truly understands what you are going through and what it takes to overcome any obstacle. She also provides a realistic view of what needs to be done. She is non-judgmental and understands the battles that women are experiencing including women of colour, which I appreciated very much!

Working with Stefanie has been an incredibly supportive experience during such a crucial time in my PhD journey. Her practical advice on maintaining well-being and her encouragement have been invaluable. They enabled me to clear a backlog of tasks, navigate through ill health, contribute effectively to a group publication, and successfully pass my first-year PhD review, all while balancing various responsibilities.

In the darkest days of my PhD, when I felt deeply alone, desperate, and inadequate, I learned about PhinisheD. Knowing that Stefanie had gone through similar experiences herself made me feel that she deeply understood me and could help better than anyone else. In private coaching, the most significant changes I’ve experienced included building the confidence to make decisions, finding the courage to ask for help when needed, and being nicer to myself.
