Leanne shares her intense experience of starting her doctoral journey with small children during a pandemic!
She talks about the techniques and routines that have helped her navigate the challenges she has faced.
Leanne reminds us to not set the bar unrealistically high and the importance of reflecting on what is and isn’t working for you.
Most of all Leanne wanted people to know that, if you are negotiating the PhD whilst caring for others, you are not alone.
