36. What To Do When You've Fallen Out Of Love With Your PhD
11/27/23 • 25 min
If anyone tells me that they've completed a PhD without ever thinking of walking away from it, they are not being truthful. As Scholarly Mamas, we all have these moments at some point during our PhD journeys, where we realise that no matter how hard we keep working at it... we fall out of love with it... The PhD pressure rises and the passion fades. So, in this episode, I will share some thoughts on what to do when you've fallen out of love with your PhD. I hope you find it helpful. If you do, please consider leaving a 5* review! Oh, and make sure you listen out for the special cameo!

37. The Scholarly Mamas Collective and The Powerful 'Why' Behind It
Sometimes we just have to be the change we want to see. I knew the moment I started my PhD as a Mama of 1 that it was going to be a hard road ahead, but nothing prepares you for doing a PhD while becoming a Mama of 2 and then a Mama of 3. Although this did not change my goal of completing my PhD, it did change the way I went about achieving it. In this episode, I want to share why I am creating Scholarly Mamas®. Be warned Mama, I'm going deep in this podcast episode.
