Road to Somewhere

Michelle King is a leading global expert in gender equality. She’s spent her career advocating for women at work, and today we helps us dismantle the myth of meritocracy. According to her research, as women gain more work-life experience our confidence and aspirations fall. Yet focusing on self-improvement is not the solution or the way to get ahead. It’s not us, it’s the work culture that needs to get better. @michellepenelopeking @michellepking #TheFixPodcast Learn more about your ad-choices at https://news.iheart.com/podcast-advertisers

In the story of how the king of decluttering downsized his parents’ home after his mother’s death, he reminds us that through any life transition or upset, we can find peace in understanding the physical and emotional impact of surrounding ourselves with stuff we think we need, but really don’t. @PeterWalsh. #Itsjuststuff.
