In this powerful episode of Moms, Mats, and Manuscripts, we sit down with neuroscientist and yoga teacher Sylvie Lahaie (aka Synaptic Sylvie) to unpack her journey through burnout, mental health struggles, and finding healing through yoga and mindfulness. Sylvie opens up about the toxic work culture in academia, overworking herself into collapse during her Master’s degree, and how a simple YouTube yoga video became a turning point in her life.We explore the intersection of neuroscience and self-care, the impact of stress on the brain, the systemic pressures that push young scientists beyond their limits, and balancing many passions and creative productivity solutions that help with it. Whether you're in academia, struggling with burnout, or simply curious about how yoga can help rewire your brain - this is a must-listen.____________________Sylvie's links:Instagram page - https://www.instagram.com/synaptic.sylvie/TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@synaptic.sylvieYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@synaptic.sylvie5584Spotify -https://open.spotify.com/show/7g60ql7RkYIMdi0OFMnN7W?si=16daff1750d44e44Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/building-your-best-brain/id1729617809Website - https://yoga-with-synapticsylvie.square.siteInsightTimer - https://insighttimer.com/synaptic.sylvieCome hang with us! 🎙️ Follow Moms, Mats, and Manuscripts for more conversations on academia, motherhood, and mindful living.
