To My Daughter...

About a month ago (end of May 2021) I decided to go vegan- over night- after seeing 2 documentaries on netflix. In this episode, I share my "why", and I hope you take the time to listen to this one :)

Leaving my full time job, and the safety of a steady income to follow my curiosity was both a hard, and an easy decision. It was a hard decision for the obvious reason; economic safety. But, there were 4 driving "forces" that made my decision somewhat easy, which I talk about in this episode.

In this episode, I share some life lessons and personal experiences when it comes to body image, career, and the importance of paying attention to your feelings.

In this episode, my husband, Chuma, shares his version of the birth story (episode 17), and opens up about his feelings when I moved to Dublin in 2011. He also shares thoughts on the salary disprepancy between him and I, and he talks about the interview process he had with Google.I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it :)

The titles speaks for itself :)

In this episode, I share the reason for why I left my safe and well-paid full-time job at LEGO, without another job waiting for me. I also share one of the many businesses (yes, there have been a few...:)) I attempted to launch, while working for LEGO.

Hi everyone!In this episode, I talk about what I struggled with during the first couple of years at LEGO, which almost led me to quit my job. And, I share the lesson we can all learn from the hermit crab :)

10-30% of pregnancies end in miscarriage. Yet, it's a topic that we don't really talk about. When I went through it, it was sad, and traumatic. I didn't know what to expect, and how to prepare for it...and, I was poorly informed by my doctor. So, let's start talking openly about it! - I'll start by sharing my story.

In this episode, I share 2 stories that - in the grand scheme of things- may seem insignificant. However, they have greatly affected me as a business woman. Sometimes, especially if you're a woman, you can be unsure if you've been discriminated against..OR..if it's just all in your head. Regardless of what it is, I think it's important to have a conversation about it.

Hello!In this episode, I share the experience of moving back home from Singapore, to Norway. And, how it was to move back in with my parents...YES- at the age of 28, I had to live with my parents after having spent 4 years abroad working for Google.
