Episode 21: Career Challenges and Successes. Women in the Workplace
Seeing as though it is Women’s History Month, we thought it would be a good time to spend today’s show speaking about our careers, how they started, and where we are today! From challenges we faced as women, to struggles more immediately associated with our individual identities and situations, we have all had to work through pretty tough situations to find the success we have. Juggling school with learning English and being a mother while also trying to set up a career and be taken seriously in the workplace in a male-dominated industry is no small feat! So tune in today with us and hear how we all did it, the lessons we have learned, and the intentions we have to help other women elevate themselves in every moment we possibly can.
