À propos de ce contenu audio

This podcast is a reflective space for high-achieving mothers navigating scholarly work, home, and identity.


Hosted by Dr Michelle Gibbs — a wife, boy Mama of 3 and doctor/scholar (of the PhD kind) — the Mrs Mummy PhD® podcast is shaped by lived experience of holding ambition alongside family life, responsibility, and seasons of change. It speaks to the reality that meaningful work does not exist in isolation from the rest of our lives.


Scholarly motherhood is complex and deeply human. It is marked by transitions, pressure, and continual becoming — and without intention, it can quietly pull us away from ourselves.


Through thoughtful conversations and reflections, this podcast invites you to slow down, lead yourself first, and reconsider what sustainable impact looks like in this season of life. Rather than offering quick fixes or productivity promises, it offers insight, perspective, and permission to build a life that includes your work, your family, and yourself.


If you are a mother navigating intellectually demanding work — in academia or beyond — and are seeking steadiness, clarity, and a way forward that does not require self-sacrifice, this space is for you.


So Mama, are you in?


Fabulous!


Let's begin...


These are our journeys of becoming — and you’re welcome here.

      126. Self-Leadership for High-Achieving Mothers: Why You Need More Than Rest
      Feb 2 2026

      In this episode of the Mrs Mummy PhD® podcast, Dr Michelle explores self-leadership for high-achieving mothers and why rest alone won’t resolve burnout if the way we lead ourselves doesn’t change. She unpacks the internal rules that keep ambitious mothers in survival mode and shares how quiet burnout often hides behind productivity and responsibility. This episode invites mother scholars to rethink success, shift from coping to choosing, and create a more sustainable way of learning, leading, and living.

      If you’re an ambitious mother seeking sustainable success without self-erasure, this episode is for you!
