    What if feeling restless in a perfectly respectable STEM career does not mean you chose the wrong path, but that too much of you has been left outside it?🔍 What You'll Learn:STEM careers tend to reward the rational, analytical and credible parts of us. After years of training, those qualities can become our whole professional identity, while the writer, artist, teacher, founder or curious beginner quietly waits in the background.This episode explores how to make room for more of yourself without resigning dramatically by Tuesday.Recognise which parts of yourself have been rewarded, and which have been neglected because they did not fit the sensible career box.Identify three ways to expand your career: revive something that was always there, combine two existing strengths, or discover a new direction through experimentation.Choose one small action that gives an underused part of yourself room, without forcing it to become a job or business immediately.Play this episode to identify which part of you needs more room and choose one concrete action you can take this week.🧠 About the Guests:Dr Anupama Hariharan began her career as a dentist before moving into clinical research. Writing had been part of her life since childhood, but she placed it on the back burner while building a serious STEM career.

Through Picture Your Ideas, she combines science, strategic thinking and visual storytelling to help people understand complex information.Dr Chloe Lim has a PhD in medical science and works in regulatory science.

  • The Scientist and the Storyteller: Unleashing Your Creative Alter Ego with Dr. Anupama Hariharan

    The Scientist and the Storyteller: Unleashing Your Creative Alter Ego with Dr. Anupama Hariharan
    Jul 13 2026

    What if your scientific career and your creative life were never competing identities?

    What if one could make the other stronger?


    Dr. Anupama Hariharan has built a long career across dentistry and clinical research. She is also a published poet and fiction author.


    For years, the writer in her stayed mostly in the background. Not because the talent was missing, but because the scientific path looked safer, more serious and easier to explain.

    Once she gave that creative identity a real place in her life, everything shifted.


    In this episode, you will learn:


    • Why being analytical does not make you less creative
    • How scientific skills such as research, structure, discipline and project thinking can support creative work
    • How to stop treating your creative identity as less legitimate than your professional one
    • Why you do not need to leave your career to take another part of yourself seriously
    • How grief, frustration and difficult experiences can be channelled into meaningful work
    • What can happen when you stop waiting for permission and give an idea a proper chance
    • Why creativity still needs strategy, visibility and commercial thinking if you want the work to reach people
    • How small acts of confidence create evidence that you are capable of more


    Anu’s story is not about abandoning science to become an author.

    It is about recognising that the scientist and the storyteller can exist in the same person.


    Your creative side is not necessarily a distraction from your serious career. It may be the part of you that brings back energy, perspective and a stronger sense of self.

    The question is not always, "Which identity should I choose?"


    Sometimes the better question is, "Which part of me have I kept hidden because it did not look sensible enough on paper?"


    Want to craft a career story that opens doors?

    I help STEMM professionals speak with clarity, confidence, and purpose and show up as thought leaders —so the right opportunities find you.
