You're busy. Your schedule is full. You're meeting everyone's expectations.

But here's what nobody talks about: You've disappeared.

Not from your family. Not from your work. From yourself.

In this episode, I'm exploring what's actually happening when you're too busy to know what you want anymore. And what it costs you.

What if thriving in academia had less to do with doing more — and more to do with allowing yourself to be human, protecting your energy, and staying connected to your values? In this conversation, Dr Katy Peplin opens up about the realities of the PhD journey, the pressure to perform, and what it really takes to build a life that feels sustainable.

She also shares how motherhood has shaped her own journey, adding another layer to the questions of identity, resilience, and what it means to thrive on your own terms.

Tune in for an honest conversation about failure, self-trust, and the mindset shift that can help you protect your wellbeing while redefining success on your own terms.

Sometimes the most important reminders come from the simplest moments—a conversation in the car, the everyday wisdom that's right in front of us if we slow down enough to see it.

I was in the car with my boys. And asked my son to look up the best route home... I did too... Then, I noticed something about how we each looked at the GPS.

He looked at the time. I looked at the experience.

And it hit me: This is exactly what happens in scholarly motherhood.

What if the way we're approaching one thing is exactly the way we're approaching everything?

Tune in now for a quick reminder about the journey of scholarly motherhood.
