Fresh Start

Join me as my neuro-divergently beautiful brain tries to waffle through a summary of why I started the podcast 7 years ago and how I'm ready to dive back in; okay maybe test the waters...who am I kidding, I secretly love audio editing and chatting with people way more interesting than myself—qué hermosa vida!

Together we explore how she found herself in this career path, what a day at work might look like, the importance of showing intiative and some of the difficulties she has encountered when trying to break into this trade. The artsy fartsy lady in me has a new media crush on Michelle, I just love pretty much everything she is doing online and think it's such important work.  If you head over to her website www.thisisamansworld.co.uk you can find links to all her amazing social media sites where she shares her own experiences as a women working in a male dominated industry...and you know the odd poop story. This lady makes me laugh with humour, smile with her authenticity and i'm inspired by her honesty.
