112. Becoming More of You in Scholarly Motherhood
What if the version of success you’ve been chasing isn’t actually yours?
In this episode, we crack open the myth of the “ideal Scholarly Mama®” and ask a bold question: What does real freedom look like for Mamas juggling PhD life, careers, and family life in 2025?
If you’ve ever felt like you’re performing instead of living, this conversation will invite you to step out of the box, drop the guilt, and start defining success on your own terms.
Tune in to explore why rigid roles don’t serve us anymore—and how to create space for the scholar, the mother, and the whole, real you.
