Dr. Vivian Rodriguez on Balancing Her Career, Family, and Blog While Getting Her Doctorate
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In today's episode, I speak with Dr. Vivian Rodriguez, who has been a school psychologist for almost 20 years, and recently completed her doctorate in Educational Leadership and Administration. Dr. Rodriguez is also a fellow blogger at LivByViv.com and podcaster at the Don't Mix In Podcast, so we talk about how she strategically timed going back to school with her own kids' educational milestones, why she started a blog after her 40th birthday, and why she thinks pursuing a doctoral degree is a gift. Quick heads up, there are two or three times during this interview where my microphone has a bit of feedback, so I apologize! New mic is coming soon.
Connect with Dr. Vivian Rodriguez on Instagram, at LivbyViv.com or on her podcast, Don't Mix In.
