What happens when a sustainability policy analyst decides to pursue a PhD (while juggling family life)? Most people would call it impossible. Dr Blessing Adeniyi called it her PhD Race.

Fresh off completing her PhD in Sustainability Management, Dr Blessing joins us for an honest conversation about doing her PhD as a Mama. Through The PhD Race, she's been documenting the unfiltered reality of navigating a PhD journey and in her case, juggling that with research, full-time work, and motherhood.

You can follow her on Instagram here.

You'll want to listen if:

• You're tired of choosing between academic dreams and being present for your children
• You've wondering if you can even keep up with the pace of PhD life as a Mama and vice versa
• You need to hear from someone who's done it, not just theorised about it

This isn't typical work-life balance advice. This is just two Mamas, who have walked the PhD road, getting real about how you can make your PhD dreams come true and build the life you actually want along the way.
