I am a 32 year old mom of one, with a PhD in biochemistry. I've wanted kids for years, but it wasn't until recently that my life felt stable enough to have one. Getting a PhD took forever! But here I am, 32, with a baby and a career that still hasn't really gone anywhere. (Such is the life of an academic researcher). I just want to figure out how to be everything I want to be -- which is a lot! I sing, make jewelry, write music, and I want to learn so many more things (I have a new sewing machine that is calling me right now...). How does one woman do it all and still maintain a sense of self without letting the world run away with her?
