Emily Spencer - Battling Disconnection
Emily Spencer, narrating her blog written for the Dementia Researcher website.
In this blog, Emily reflects on the quieter strain of doing a PhD while juggling work, parenting, and limited support. She writes openly about feeling overwhelmed, isolated, and out of step with peers, and how those feelings began to shape her confidence. Through a small but meaningful moment of connection with another PhD student, Emily explores how disconnection can deepen pressure, and how shared experiences can soften it.
