What if success didn’t have to come at the cost of your well-being?

In this episode of The Growth Invitation (S2 E10), Janette sits down with Arvinder (Arvy) Thandi, a Performance Engineer at Nationwide Building Society who made a bold career switch into tech just before turning 40. Her journey is proof that you can chase ambitious goals without sacrificing your well-being — if you’re willing to set clear boundaries.

Balancing life as a mum of two, a wife, and a career-changer in a male-dominated industry, Arvinder faced constant challenges — from breaking stereotypes to navigating tough contract negotiations. Through it all, she chose self-love, boundaries, and balance — and it paid off. Not only did she successfully transition into tech, she also launched a groundbreaking coding initiative that introduced 120 children from underrepresented communities to the world of STEM.

This conversation is a powerful reminder that you don’t have to burn out to succeed — you can lead, inspire, and achieve while taking care of yourself.
