As a Scholarly Mama who's weathered the storm of returning to PhD life post-maternity leave, I'm no stranger to the siren song of procrastination. In an intimate sharing of my journey, I reveal the strategies that helped me stay the course amidst the chaos of new motherhood. It's a road filled with sleepless nights and the guilt of time away from your little one, but also with the triumph of rediscovery of a new, fierce identity as a Scholarly Mama. This episode isn't just about tactics to beat the procrastination beast; it's a heart-to-heart on embracing the precious early moments with your baby while gently but firmly guiding yourself back to the rigour of PhD life.
The second chapter of our conversation takes a realistic look at the perpetual merry-go-round of childhood sickness and its impact on maintaining academic excellence. I open up about my own battles with my children's illnesses and offer a beacon of hope and practical advice for navigating these turbulent waters. Listen for a compassionate perspective on setting realistic expectations, prioritising tasks, and the art of juggling work-life with parenting. It's about more than just surviving; it’s about thriving, adjusting, and celebrating the small victories that each day brings. This episode is an affirmation that you're not alone, and with the right mindset, tools and a purposeful community, you can emerge as a more resilient scholar and parent.
