Equivalent Too

This week on Scilence, my guest introduces me to the world of Palaeontology - a subject I know very little about.  After chatting with her for an hour, you might get infected by her passion - I certainly did!    

Science is spiritual, according to my women in STEM; who feels more connected to the Earth, having contributed to scientific progress through her research.  She shares her enthusiasm about how she would like to be preserved in the after-life and tells us how Hollywood got Jurrasic Park wrong!  

Studying the past, helps our present - which is good news for her, because her hobby became her career and her career is her hobby!  I don't think I've met anyone so thrilled and keen with the idea of 'work'.  

This weeks episode of Scilence is utterly uplifting, because my guest, a Controls Engineer and gifted mathematician, tells all about the darkest seven months of her career.  This challenging time forced her towards the greatest awakening of her true self. Highly qualified, but jobless, this incredible woman of STEM had no choice but to face herself and figure out what what was meaningful.  

Now she sincerely understands that knowing and believing in yourself protects you from being influenced by the impermanence of life and other peoples opinions.  Her career does not define who she is today, yet she continues to flourish in her dream job.  

This week's episode has got to be one of my all time favourites!  My guest is a truly loveable alpha female, who's executive experience, wisdom and sensibility, will leave you wanting to strive to reach your own personal best.  She appears to have it all, but shares her perspective.  

Despite taking all failures personally, she also uses that negativity to drive her further. - Facing disappointment square on and shaking it off.  My guest believes in staying true to herself, even if unconventional, and has the confidence to change her mind, as all women can!  

In this week's episode of Scilence, my guest describes how an uncontrollable tick led her to study Psychological and Brain Sciences.  Adversity has always pointed her in new directions and as a result, its taught her what she has needed to know.  In listening to her, I realise the benefit of letting go of resentments.  Accepting what has happened in the past helps you to move on in life without being held back.  Despite everything my guest has gone through since childhood, there has always opportunities to grow.  It's all about the attitude you choose to have.

On this week's episode, my guest, out numbered as a female electrical engineer has always struggled to fit in.  She found herself compromising who she was as a women, in order to be seen as one of the boys.  She now realises that competition makes you focus on the negative.  Through sharing her stories and experiences in this episode, her message is loud and clear:  Have confidence in being yourself, and what is meant for you will find you.
