Mrs Mummy PhD®
Here, we're all about helping ambitious Mamas become Drs & build impactful careers without sacrificing what matters...
As Scholarly Mamas®, you deserve to achieve your academic goals while embracing your maternal identity.
As a Mama of three boys, juggling scholarly life (i.e. grad school/professional study, PhD & post-PhD life) with marriage and motherhood for many years, host Dr Michelle Gibbs - Founder of Scholarly Mamas® - fully understands how challenging this journey can be.
But as driven and ambitious as we may think we are, we know full well that academic life doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It’s a difficult, complex journey full of ‘ups, downs and all-arounds’ in which we can easily lose ourselves under the pressure of it all.
So on this podcast, Dr Michelle shares valuable tips and insights to help you thrive and finish well without putting family life on hold.
If you are a Mama on an academic journey who is wearing many hats and trying to blend your marriage/relationships, family, career, and scholarly worlds, then this space is for you!
Dr Michelle is on a mission to help Mamas on scholarly journeys, like you, to blend family, work and study without losing yourself in the process. She wants to help you reach your life and academic goals without sacrificing what matters, with practical tips and insights to help you transform your juggle-struggle into purposeful journeys of becoming, reclaim your scholarly joy and create purposeful success!
So Mama, are you in?
Fabulous!
