You don’t have to carry burnout alone. The right support can help you breathe again—start here: https://caitdonovan.com/coaching. Burnout recovery gets real as Sarah Vosen sits down with an anonymous guest who feels trapped by perfectionism, people-pleasing, and the voice of an inner critic that makes self-compassion feel out of reach. In this episode, she’s trying something different for the podcast: a real-time coaching session. Her guest “Kate” describes how burnout began with constant illness and eventually knocked her flat, leaving her exhausted and uncertain about how to move forward. Years later, Kate still feels caught in a loop of trial and error, trying new practices, hoping for change, and losing faith when nothing seems to last. How do you find the courage to say no before your body forces you to? And how do you begin to quiet the inner critic that insists you’ll never get better? Through thoughtful coaching, Sarah helps Kate see the fear of saying no for what it is: a strategy that once kept her safe but now keeps her stuck. She offers a new way to look at recovery, like a scale that can slowly tip away from self-judgment and toward self-compassion with each small act of courage. Along the way, Kate begins to see how even the tiniest pieces of evidence, moments of asking for help, choosing rest, or protecting her needs, can start to shift the balance. This conversation opens a window into the real work of burnout recovery. It’s messy and slow, but it’s also a practice of rediscovering your voice, setting boundaries that protect your energy, and remembering that even a flicker of hope is proof that change is possible.

Send us a text In this episode of Mentoring Matters, we explore the transformative potential of generative AI tools like ChatGPT in the context of graduate student mentoring. As these cutting-edge technologies continue to advance, they offer unique opportunities to enhance the mentoring experience and support the growth and development of graduate students. We delve into the various ways in which ChatGPT and similar tools can be leveraged to provide personalized guidance, facilitate knowledge sharing, and foster meaningful interactions between mentors and mentees. From generating ideas for research projects to offering constructive feedback on written work, these AI-powered assistants have the potential to streamline and enrich the mentoring process. However, we also address the challenges and ethical considerations surrounding the use of generative AI in mentoring, emphasizing the importance of maintaining human connection and judgment. Join us as we navigate this exciting frontier and discuss how to effectively integrate these tools while preserving the essence of authentic mentorship. Whether you're a mentor, mentee, or simply interested in the future of graduate education, this episode offers valuable insights into the role of generative AI in shaping the mentoring landscape. PS- Steph did convince Mary to get on the AI bandwagon, and she's now a happy user of ChatGPT. Steph's pro tip: Just talk to it like a colleague and you'll be surprised how easily the conversation flows.

Send us a text In this episode of Mentoring Matters we share our tips for helping graduate students become awesome oral communicators. Don't forget to give them opportunity to practice! Provide low stress opportunities to present such as giving presentations to your lab group. Have discussions about core concepts of effective communication. Always consider the audience, build from their knowledge. Meet them where they are at. Ask yourself what you want the audience to do with the information you are providing. Start with the big picture! Help the audience see why it matters. Keep it simple-no more than three main points. Don’t include everything just because you can. Break down a big story into bite-sized pieces so that audience can take it in. Focus on the story, walk the audience through your thought process and why you did the work. Use visual aids to supplement what is being verbally articulated. Make sure visuals don’t distract the audience. Have lab members provide feedback to help them think critically about what effective communication looks like. Consider having the student also do a self-assessment. Then have a discussion after the presentation on what worked and what could be better. A great book to get one thinking about effective science communication is Alan Alda’s book titled “If I Understood You, Would I Have This Look On My Face?” If you are enjoying this podcast please leave a rating or review, and join us over on Twitter to let us know what topics you'd like to hear more about.
