We sat down with Brooke Deason. Brooke is absolutely living the dream - she's followed career opportunities that took her from a small country town to Spain where she currently lives and works in the pharmaceuticals industry. Not only does Brooke have a successful career, she also knows how to live life to the fullest. She doesn't let society's ideas of what a 35year old woman should be doing dictate her choices, she lives life on her own terms. We chat to Brooke about:How she has gone against society's ‘typical' scripts and why she wouldn't live life any other wayWhat is unconscious bias and how might it be unexpectedly influencing the choices you makeWhy it's completely okay to not want kids and why shouldn't be a taboo subject Why we all need to stop and ask ourselves who we are living our lives for“At the end of the day I didn't want to wake up when I was 70 and be thinking, I could have lived in Spain, I could have been learning a different language, I could have been seeing things that don't exist in our country and experiencing all these weird and wonderful things” - Brooke DeasonIf you want to learn more about unconscious bias you can check out this article.If you want to connect with Brooke you can find her on LinkedInWant to continue the conversation?
