I’m Anokhi Kapasi, a PhD researcher and mom of two boys. I created this show because I know what it is like to feel torn between being a serious scientist and a present mom —and to realize that “trying harder” is not a strategy.</p>\n<p>This show is different because it integrates career and life planning strategies designed specifically for science-minded moms in a work culture that was not built for caregivers. Every episode blends interviews with other scientists who have been where you are and career planning deep-dives where you will learn the answer to questions like:</p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">🎯 Are there decision-making frameworks to help me navigate pivots, return-to-work, academia vs. industry…or to even know what the “next right move” is?</p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">🎯 How do I set career goals that allow me to stay ambitious, connect with my family, and feel like myself again?</p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">🎯 Is work–life balance for working moms in STEM actually possible, and what does it look like in practice?</p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">🎯 Can I stay in science &amp; tech without burnout, guilt, or losing sight of myself?</p>\n<p>STEM-trained moms, I’ll teach you how to make confident career decisions that align with your whole life —not just professional development.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>🎧 FOLLOW this show and never choose between being a good mom or a good scientist again!</p>\n<p>🗣️ GUEST INTEREST FORM: <a href=\"https://calendly.com/anokhi-solveformom/guests-on-solve-for-mom\">https://calendly.com/anokhi-solveformom/guests-on-solve-for-mom</a> </p>\n<p>📩 QUESTIONS: <a href=\"mailto:hello@solveformom.com\">hello@solveformom.com</a></p>\n<p>🌐 VISIT: <a href=\"http://www.solveformom.com/\">www.SolveForMom.com</a> for more resources &amp; information</p>\n<p></p>","icons":[{"src":"https://deow9bq0xqvbj.cloudfront.net/image-logo/19033883/science-careers-moms_Lato71l47_300x300.jpg","sizes":"300x300","type":"image/png"}]}
