In this episode Dr. Michelle Gibbs shares her journey completing a PhD in nutritional sciences as a wife and mom of three children. Dr. Michelle supports other mamas doing PhDs and helps them to navigate the juggle-struggle purposefully, so they can reach their life and academic goals without sacrificing what matters!

She discusses the isolation and challenges she faced throughout her doctoral program, her non-negotiables for preserving family time, the importance of support systems, and her motivation to eventually create communities to support other "scholarly mamas" navigating academia. If you’re a mama or parenting student in grad school, you’ll want to listen to this episode to gain some encouragement and motivation.
