This episode features guest Dr Amy Camilleri Zahra, a remarkable individual who balances multiple roles as a mother, wife, disability rights activist, academic, and public speaker. Amy shares her inspiring journey from surviving a life-threatening illness that led to amputations, to pursuing a PhD and becoming a powerful advocate for disability rights. We explore how she managed the demands of motherhood alongside her doctoral studies, her impactful work with Amputees4Amputees, and her experiences in global leadership forums. Amy offers valuable insights on interdisciplinary research, career pivots, overcoming challenges in academia, and the intersection of personal experience, advocacy, and academic work. This episode provides inspiration and practical advice for mothers pursuing higher education, researchers in disability studies, and anyone interested in balancing multiple life roles while making a significant impact in their field.
