E2 - Mental health crisis in academia

In our second episode of "Moms, Mats, and Manuscripts," we honour Mental Health Awareness Month with an open discussion on the challenges and pressures of academia. We opened up about the mental health struggles we faced as PhD students, stemming both from self-imposed pressures and outside expectations. We also shared how we recognize the early warning signs of declining mental health and the ways yoga has helped us navigate tough times and become more resilient. Join us for a vulnerable conversation aimed at highlighting the importance of mental well-being in academic life.If you're struggling in your PhD or at any other point of your academic journey, please do not hesitate to reach out and share.
