Ep.026 How to Maintain Your Motivation as a Lifelong Learner

#026 – Settle in for an awesome interview episode where I chat to Becky Strafford, a master's student and lifelong learner. Becky shares her journey from traditional student to employee to business owner and now non-traditional student – while raising her two daughters and renovating her house! You’ll hear about the bizarre career advice Becky received, the path it set her on, and how she’s gotten to where she is today. Becky shares how she juggles her studies with all her other responsibilities, and some advice for maintaining your energy and motivation as a lifelong learner. Becky’s passion for her subject really shines through and it’s incredible to hear about the impact her education is having on her daughters, role modelling for them the power and benefits of developing a growth mindset and being a lifelong learner.  I’m super excited for you to hear this chat and be inspired by Becky’s journey.
