Mrs Mummy PhD®

As Scholarly Mamas®, we wear many hats. We are mothers and scholars but many of us are also navigating marriage/relationships outside of all of that. 

Black couples, in particular, face many challenges in their journeys of love and marriage. With so many marriages ending prematurely in divorce, we wanted to share our 5 best-kept secrets for thriving in marriage as a millennial black couple.

We believe that if you get the foundations of marriage right, everything else will fall into place.

If you want the inside scoop on making your marriage work, this episode is for you!

NB: This is PART 1 of a 2-part series, so make sure you also tune into PART 2 after this one!

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.
