Résumé: Using interpretive inquiry, I sought to more deeply understand the experience of being mother, academic, and wife. I began with a review of the existing literature and focused on how some of its assumptions and perspectives influence one's understanding of this experience. Not being satisfied with these assumptions, I posited a different understanding; one that views being mother, academic, and wife as parts of the self as a whole. Through qualitative conversation, nine women shared their experiences. Reflection on these experiences revealed the following themes: Called, Juggling Time, Juggling Space, Torn, Making Room, and Sharing. By using works from psychology, literature, philosophy, word associations, word meanings, current events, and media, I further develop an understanding of these themes. In the final chapter, I discuss the sustainability of this life. Indeed, the quest to find harmony between and within these parts is an ongoing one.
