"I appreciate the why’s behind Anokhi’s approach."
Tangible and Relatable - Listening to her latest episode not only helped me realize I’m not alone in my own fears of messing up but that i can laugh at the mistake and still learn from them. This podcast makes me want to be bold and brave as I venture into new the unknown with business, motherhood, and just life in general. Can’t wait for future episodes!.

"Obsessed with how she brings it all together - it's practical, not just theoretical!"
Anokhi does an amazing job of blending science and how that relates to our motherhood. You can totally nerd out with her on this, but I’m a huge routine person and love her perspective on this and motherhood.

If you’re a mom in STEM, the pressure isn’t subtle. The work rewards deep focus, long hours, and constant availability—while motherhood runs on interruption, logistics, and emotional labor.
So you do what high-achievers do:
You try harder. You optimize. You hold yourself to an impossible standard.
But you don’t need more hustle. You need a plan that accounts for real constraints.
Science Careers for Moms is your reset.
Twice a month, you’ll get a blend of actionable career planning strategies and honest interviews with other moms in STEM. Together, we'll discover how to make a meaningful impact both at home and in your career.
On the podcast, you’ll learn how to:
- Set clear career goals in science & tech that fit real mom life
- Practical work-life balance strategies for scientist moms
- Confidence to make the next right career move—without burnout or guilt
You’ll walk away with clearer priorities, a stronger “what’s next,” and the sense that you can have both…because you’re building both on purpose.
Wondering how to pursue your career goals and be there for your family?

If you’ve been told “work-life balance is a myth,” I don’t buy it.
Women in STEM shouldn't have to choose between being a good scientist or a good mom.
What’s true is this: if you’re measuring a whole life with work-only metrics, you’ll keep feeling like you're failing —even when you’re doing heroic things.
This podcast is for moms in STEM who want a better model: one that treats constraints like data, lets you stop white-knuckling your weeks, and helps you make confident career decisions that honors your whole life.
You'll also meet other scientist moms and problem-solvers ready to share their stories and solutions with you.
