Recently a member told me they woke up thinking about their PhD, went to bed thinking about it, and were fed up of not thinking about anything else. In the episode, I help you work out whether it’s a problem that you’re thinking about your work and, if you think it is, you’ll get some concrete advice about how to nudge your brain away from the topic. WHO AM I? I'm Dr Vikki Wright, ex-Professor and certified life coach. I help everyone from PhD students to full Professors to get a bit less overwhelmed and thrive in academia. On YouTube and my podcast, I share actionable advice, compassionate reassurance, and the occasional reality check to help you achieve your goals.
