I’m usually not one for social trends, but I find so much comfort in seeing others’ “deinfluence” posts 🥹 I hope you do too 💕

8 weeks ago today, at 4:54am, I held my son for the first time. Motherhood is better than I could have imagined. It’s like I accessed a part of myself that was always there but just hadn’t been opened yet.

I still enjoy working. I still crave watching really awful reality TV. I still love my husband. I still find joy in fashion. I get anxious sometimes and worry about the future. I feel tired and overstimulated all at once. But I also feel the greatest sense of calm and confidence I’ve ever felt.

There were definitely times throughout pregnancy that I let discouraging voices get in my head and make me question myself on what is possible or “realistic.” I didn’t need to question my intuition. I needed to be unapologetic in my intention to carry on in my work & passions while also starting a family. For now, that’s what works for me.

There is no right time or right way. Just your time and your way🤍 #phdmom #laurenfindsaway
One of the biggest challenges among graduates is finding work after completing our degree. We spend years dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge and the goal of obtaining our masters and/or PhDs. Then, we’re met with the reality that jobs are scarce and no one ever taught us how to get one. Many of us leave our doctorate programs less confident than we began, with no clue as to what our skill set even consists of. Here are some underrated skills I gained from my PhD that help me excel in my work.
One year ago today, we said ‘I do’ — little did we know we would be celebrating my first Mother’s Day one year later 🥹 Happy Anniversary to the greatest husband and dad. We love you endlessly 🤍 -Lauren, Lawson, & Frannie 🥰
I’ve done a lot of work over the years to nurture my identity outside of my PhD. Becoming a mom has helped me realize that I still have a long way to go in releasing unwarranted guilt and continuing to grow my self-esteem beyond my career achievements. Here are some quiet truths I’ve been reflecting on lately🤍
There is never a perfect time ⏰

In this episode of, I spoke with Lauren about motherhood and family planning in and around academia - but also so much more.

We talked about identity, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and the over-independence we carry with us even after leaving academia, and how pregnancy and motherhood have a way of unraveling all of it.

We also explored what it means to become more unapologetic, to go after what you want without waiting for the “perfect” moment, and the role of vulnerability and authenticity in academia and beyond.

It was such a meaningful conversation 🤍
Whether you’re thinking about starting a family while building a career, navigating pregnancy in or around academia, or simply trying to survive a PhD without losing yourself, give it a listen 🎧

Since we recorded this, Lauren has welcomed her beautiful baby boy, and I’m so excited to see how this next chapter unfolds for her and her family 💙

10 days with Lawson 🥹🩵
Lawson Samuel White | 03.25.26 | 4:54am

Lawson after my dad and great grandpa | Samuel after his dad and great grandpa 🥰

We are forever changed 🤍
On the other side of this photo was me crying, because after nearly 13 years together, and 2 years with Frannie, we are preparing to welcome our son any day now 🥲

Something I haven’t seen spoken about much is how the end of pregnancy carries so much grief. Grief from the realization that soon, I won’t be the only one carrying him anymore, and it won’t be just us. We’re filled with so much gratitude to be growing our little family, and at the same time, we’re acknowledging the end of an era together 😌 I also grieve when I think about how fast this journey went. It truly feels like I blinked.

It is all joy.

Here’s to hoping all the tears mean labor is near 😩😭🥹
