In this episode, I am joined by Alexa (of alexajohara.com) to discuss what it really means to be 'woke', how the word has been commercialised, and the challenges that come with the package.

Are you putting your rage to good use or is your wokeness performative? Do you find yourself having to make your 'wokeness' palatable at work? Can you be TOO woke? What do you do when being woke drains you?
