Listen "Navigating School while Raising Children"
Episode Synopsis
We invited three student mothers—Keta, Claribell, and Caroline—to share their stories: pregnancy detours, stacked externship hours after full-time work, and the late-night study windows that keep goals alive. Their stories are tender and tough, grounded in purpose, and full of practical moves anyone can copy.We talk about what actually keeps a parent-student going: childcare that shows up, flexible schedules, and advisors who do more than send reminders. You’ll hear how externship hours feel less like a burden and more like an investment when they’re tied to real skills, how being transparent with instructors unlocks grace and options, and how a tight routine—like studying between 10 p.m. and 1 a.m.—can turn chaos into consistency.The kids are watching, and that matters. From a missed Halloween to a daughter dreaming of forensic science, these moments reveal what persistence teaches at home: recovery beats perfection, and momentum is built one choice at a time.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a lift, and leave a quick review telling us your best time-saving tip for busy weeks. Your advice might be the lifeline someone else needs.We’d love to hear from!
