E22 - (S3E2) Journey from burnout to balance & sustainable productivity: Interview with Anahita Amirpour

In this special first interview episode of Moms, Mats, and Manuscripts, Ksenia sits down with Anahita Amirpour - PhD student, performance consultant, and former nurse anaesthetist - to explore how researchers can thrive without burning out. We talk about the culture of overwork in academia, impostor syndrome, setting healthy boundaries, and how Anahita balances her PhD, her business, and writing a book. Whether you're a stressed-out scientist, a recovering perfectionist, or someone juggling too many roles, this conversation will inspire and support you.Topics covered:Burnout in academia and healthcareWhy impostor syndrome is so common in scientistsPersonal and cultural risk factors for overworkSustainable productivity tipsBalancing research, business, and creative projectsWe hope you enjoy this candid conversation as much as we did!______________________Anahita's Instagram: @phdanahitaAnahita's website: https://www.amirpourconsulting.com/Support the showLet's hang out! 🎙️ Follow Moms, Mats, and Manuscripts for more conversations on academia, motherhood, and mindful living.
