Why do students describe Dr. Lauren Korfine as “life-changing”?

In this episode, the beloved Human Ecology professor opens up about mental health, imposter syndrome, anxiety, heartbreak, gender, campus culture, and what students today are really struggling with. 

We also talk about her unexpected path from Cornell student… to Harvard… to working as a doula for 17 years before returning to the classroom.

The buzz is accurate, she is warm, thoughtful, and deeply relatable — this is one of those conversations that stays with you. 

Thank you to our fave, Lori Isman Greene, for the introduction!
