Freja Gomez | RESEARCH & MAMAHOOD

Motherhood and academia. Two things I love. Two things that both seem to require more hours than a day actually has.

Most days the work doesn’t disappear. It just moves to the evenings, after bedtime, when the house is finally quiet.

And while I’m grateful to have that option, I don’t think we should romanticise working late just to make everything fit.

I’m still figuring out the balance. And I’m not sure I will feel balanced - maybe just more comfortable?
