Be kind to yourself - A motherhood in academia special

In this special episode, Mareike Daeglau (Postdoc,
Neuropsychology ) and Ilona Gerbsomer (Master’s student in
Clinical Audiology) talk openly with each other about what it
really means to become a mother during academic training. They
share honest reflections on fears, timing, asking for help, and
the everyday balancing act of studying, working, and caring for
young children. This conversation makes space for uncertainty,
flexibility, and the moments where things don’t go as
planned and shows that there isn’t one “right” way to
combine family and academia. This episode was created with
the support of the Science Communication of Psychology team, and
we extend special thanks to the Media Technology and Production
team at the University of Oldenburg for their technical support.
