This week, we are continuing our self-love awareness with an inspiring guest, Melissa K Lowe, from 'The Wellthy Mama'. After experiencing corporate burnout and receiving a life-altering cancer diagnosis, Melissa is now on a mission to help busy Mamas prioritise themselves. Melissa, a self-care coach for busy, working mothers, is also the brains behind the amazing 'Wealthy Mama' guided self-love journal. The journal is the perfect companion for busy Mamas who want to reclaim the ever-flowing, yet often buried, gift of self-love.

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.

This podcast is for ambitious mothers who refuse to choose between their careers and their families.
Hosted by Dr Michelle Gibbs — a wife, Mama of 3, RD and Dr (the PhD kind) — the…
And here's what I've learned: You don't have to sacrifice one for the other. You can design both.
Through thoughtful conversations and reflections, this podcast invites you to get clear on what actually matters, make intentional decisions about your career, and build a life where impact doesn't require self-sacrifice.
Rather than quick fixes or productivity promises, it offers perspective, permission, and a framework for designing a self-kind, family-friendly career you can actually thrive in.
Because meaningful work exists alongside family life, not in opposition to it.
If you're navigating intellectually demanding work (in academia or beyond) and want to advance your career without abandoning what matters most, this space is for you.
Welcome to scholarly motherhood. One intentional milestone at a time. 🦋
So Mama, are you in?
Fabulous!
Let's begin...
