Introducing “The PhD Mommy’s Journey Podcast”: How to Start Believing in Yourself

In this episode, “How to Start Believing in Yourself”, Bridgette highlights the importance self-efficacy has on becoming a more engaged parent. Bridgette delves into the definition of self-efficacy through the scientific method, connecting the important role each has in motherhood, business and life. Before plunging into the scientific marvels, Bridgette addresses a common feeling among her listeners: the common urge to break free from mediocrity. That, dear friends, is self-efficacy in action. Bridgette shows readers how self-efficacy focuses on believing in your remarkable abilities, conquering challenges and taking the reins of leadership to craft the life you desire. Throughout October, Bridgette has decided to dedicate herself to a remarkable journey of becoming a better mom by incorporating hands-on activities and exciting science projects into daily life. She begins this task through her favorite methodology: the scientific method. Picture messy high chairs and bubbly bathtubs as they explore "Bath Time Physics" and "High Chair Chemistry" by the brilliant Jill Esbaum.

“Bath Time Physics” and “High Chair Chemistry'' by Jill Esbaum, published by Candlewick Press and MIT Press Kids are highly recommended, captivating books that merge playtime with fundamental scientific principles, laying the foundation for future learning. Many research studies emphasize on the significance of picture books, which unfold as vibrant panoramas, painting worlds of wonder and wisdom in a child's eager eyes. They spark imagination, fuel curiosity, and lay the groundwork for literacy, cognitive development, and emotional intelligence. Plus, they provide a delightful way to bond with kids. Bridgette personally uses these books as a mom and a high school biology teacher; she believes these principles are vital and can be taught at any age. Get your copy on Amazon, Kindle, Barnes and Nobles, MIT Press, Candlewick Press, Target, and many other places.

In the intricate ballet of motherhood, business, and life, play emerges as a rejuvenating melody. This episode highlights the importance of engaging in play, whether with little ones or as a personal respite, revitalizes the spirit, ignites creativity, and restores equilibrium in the mosaic of responsibilities. It's the reminder of joy amidst chaos, the nudge towards self-care, and the buoyant raft amidst life's adventures. Bridgette invites you to imagine applying the scientific method to your own daily life. As you encounter problems and solutions, you view the world as a way to conduct mini-experiments to better navigate challenges systematically, reinforcing self-belief, and making mothers even more awesome. In the whirlwind of life, Bridgette encourages parents to pause and immerse themselves intentionally in their children's world. She also stresses the importance of encouraging their curiosity, exploration of the world and being their companions in discovery and life. By doing so, they lay the cornerstone for critical thinking, problem-solving, and a lifelong love for learning.
