As a Scholarly Mama, with so many competing priorities, it’s easy to put our happiness to the bottom of our priority list. And even when we actively seek our own happiness, we do so in all the wrong places. We look for external validation to make us happy. We rely on accolades, titles, and scholarly achievements to make us feel good about ourselves. But chasing shiny academic success with all the prestige in the world won’t give us happiness.
One thing I’ve learned on this Scholarly Mama journey is that happiness is homemade.
