From her unconventional leap from university physics to life in the skies, navigating the subtle (and not-subtle) dynamics of gender bias, Joan Bachand opens up about the surprising realities of flying, problem-solving on the fly (literally!), and simply being taken seriously at the table. Whether you're curious about aviation, fascinated by resilience, or cheering on women in STEM, this episode delivers heart, humour, and powerful insights about belonging when you're the only woman in the room... of 500 feet off the ground.
