40. Merry Christmas & Reflective Replay of 'Finding Fulfilment: Why You Need to Prioritise What Matters Now'
Merry Christmas from Mrs Mummy PhD®!
This is a season of love but it's also a season of reflection and on today's episode, we are sharing a Reflective Replay of an earlier episode that feels quite timely now as you maybe reflecting on 2023 and thinking ahead for 2024.
Enjoy the Reflective Replay!
The Scholarly Mama juggle-struggle is hard. This is why it's even more important to slow down and prioritise what matters...
Finding fulfilment is the process of discovering and pursuing what brings you joy and satisfaction in life. It's about finding a sense of purpose and meaning that can help guide your decisions and actions.
In this podcast episode, I want to explore what finding fulfilment is, why it's important, and how to get started on the path towards meaningful living as a Scholarly Mama.
You can read the full show notes here: Finding Fulfilment: Why You Need To Prioritise What Matters Now
