Are you fishing for big, quick wins, or are you farming for lasting growth? In this episode, we dive into a powerful shift in mindset: the difference between chasing immediate results (fishing) and patiently nurturing long-term success (farming). The initial spark for this conversation came from a casual chat with my friend Dra Yvette from Grad School Femtoring . What happens when we stop looking for the “big catch” and instead focus on planting seeds, experimenting, and trusting the process—whether in academia, parenting, or personal growth? Join me as we explore how adopting a farmer’s mindset can transform the way we approach Scholarly Motherhood. If you've ever felt stuck, impatient, or unsure if your efforts are paying off, this episode is for you. Let’s talk about growth, patience, and the magic that happens beneath the surface.
