Finding the time to ‘do it all’ can feel impossible because, well, it is. Joining us today on The Cohort Sistas Podcast is Dr. Natasha N. Johnson to tell us all about how she juggles (and sometimes doesn’t juggle) being an educator, writer, and wife! Tuning in, you’ll hear all about her background, how she became an educator and studied further, the movie-like story of how she met her husband, and her adventures in Jamaica. We discuss her and her husband's co-published works before Natasha delves into how she makes time to publish work. We even discuss how they make time for bonding in their personal relationship away from work. Finally, Natasha leaves us with some beautiful advice about realistic expectations and seeking help. You don’t want to miss this episode!
