The purpose of the current study was to identify the experiences of female faculty who earned tenure in counselor education and supervision while raising at least one child under 12 years of age. A phenomenological approach was selected. Eight females who were mothers and had earned tenure in the past 3 years in counselor education and supervision were interviewed. The design of the investigation utilized a resilience framework. Resilience as the framework for the study allowed for positive experiences to be shared. Participants’ shared barriers were examined to identify what pieces of resilience were present in their earning tenure while raising a child. The results of data analysis suggest that social support, positive attitudes, and enjoyment of their job contributed to female counselor educators’ success in earning tenure while raising at least one young child. The following themes were identified: (a) experiences and perception of earning tenure differs between both mothers and non-mothers, but also between males and females and (b) having children while earning tenure in counselor education was a positive experience.
