In this episode of Student Life Radio, Ijeoma and I sit down with Joceley dos Reis, a UEL student who's navigating one of the toughest balancing acts there is: being a full-time mum and a full-time student. Joceley opens up about what her journey has really looked like, from the early mornings and late-night study sessions to the moments where she's had to stop, reassess, and reset. It's an honest conversation, not a polished highlight reel, about what it actually takes to show up for your degree and your family at the same time. We talk about how she found herself pursuing higher education while raising her child, how she structures her days and manages her time without burning out, and the support systems, both on campus and at home, that have made all the difference. She doesn't shy away from the hard days either, and she shares her top tips for other student parents at UEL who might be walking a similar path, or thinking about starting one. Whether you're a parent studying at UEL, considering a return to education after having kids, or just need a reminder that it's possible to do hard things, this episode is for you. Joceley's story is proof that ambition doesn't pause for motherhood, it just finds a new rhythm. Tune in to Student Life Radio for the full conversation.
