124 - Why keeping politics out of it may be outdated career and life advice
I am not okay.
That's an important thing to admit these days right?
While I had intended to record and release an episode of the Dive Into Your Career podcast last week, on 6 November, my emotions in relation to the result of the 2024 US Election had left me reeling... and unless you wanted to listen to minutes of me sobbing... or stunned silence...

Today's episode of the Dive Into The Career podcast is focused on "Why keeping politics out of it may be outdated career and life advice" - a topic which is the result of some of that reflection.
This episode will be useful for you if you:
- Were disappointed / devastated about the results of the US Election 2024
- Feel affected by world events
- Are increasingly aware that how companies invest and who they support, may have an impact on your own career decisions
- Want to reflect on how important it is to reflect on values - yours and those of companies you may be considering
If you needed to pause, reflect and acknowledge these recent political developments before getting back to your day to day life... I hope this episode helps you to feel seen and heard.
PS - As mentioned in the episode, here is a link to a website which shares some of the ways Trump's administration rolled back civil rights in his first term... and it is this sort of legacy which has many people, like myself, so concerned about a second term:
