Resources for academic staff
While Sunflowerful’s blog posts are in development, feel free to check out the blog posts I’ve written while I was working in academia - they allowed me to process some of my most difficult experiences and find meaning in them. Pouring my struggles on paper and translating them into key takeaways and supportive and validating words that are widely available to my peers across the world was my way of digging gold.
The themes center around well-being in academia through the eyes of a struggling PhD, but the challenges and coping mechanisms described can apply to any knowledge-based high-achievement and high-pressure environments beyond the academic community.
