Hey Mama!
Welcome to the Mrs Mummy PhD® podcast, hosted by Dr Michelle Gibbs. This reflective space is for ambitious, high-achieving mother scholars navigating meaningful work, family life, and who they are becoming along the way. Drawing on lived experience — including burnout, restoration, and leadership across work and home — Michelle explores what it means to move from survival to sustainability. Through honest conversations grounded in self-leadership, this podcast invites you to step away from over-functioning and constant striving, and toward steadier routines, presence at home, peace within, and impact that feels whole. These are the quiet journeys of scholarly motherhood — and these are your journeys of becoming.

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!
