Real & Unapologetic
Mental health is often stigmatised, and conversations surrounding it are frequently silenced. That’s why I’ve created Real & Unapologetic, the podcast where I’ll bring you unfiltered and authentic conversations with people who have overcome challenges, lived through struggles, and found ways to prioritise their mental health while pursuing their careers. From imposter syndrome, anxiety, burnout, toxic behaviours, period stigma, chronic illnesses to neurodiversity. You name it. We’re going to talk about it. So make sure to join us every other Wednesday as we share our own stories - the highs, the lows, and everything in between.
Real & Unapologetic
Working in STEM, Period Stigma & Work Life Balance w/ Ella Maciver
In this episode, I had a fantastic chat with Ella Maciver, a total rockstar in the STEM world. We're gonna get into what it's really like for women working in male-dominated industries.
We're keeping it real (as we always do here - no play pretend or lies) and we're kicking off with one of my favourite topics which is period stigma – yeah, we're all tired of it. Then, we're sharing some tips on how to create the work life balance we all need and deserve. Work is just one part of the whole picture.
But there's more! We're also diving into the world of mental health, and why it's important to talk about it openly, even at work (especially at work, I'd say!). We've got some practical advice on how to start those conversations with your colleagues and bosses.
Now, here's the truth: we had such a great time recording this episode that we had to do it twice because of some tech hiccups. But I'm so excited to finally share it with you!
