Siobhan Fitzgerald is an advertising creative whose worked at The Monkeys, M&C and Ogilvy in her career, and a writer. She is also the founder of Gabberish, creative therapy for creative minds, and co-founder of The Good Bits, a good sex story platform for Women+.

As a two time start-up founder and often the only woman in the creative department throughout her career, she shares how she’s dealt with rejection, going from a prude to rebranding erotic fiction and dealing with anxiety in an industry where mental health isn't always given space. It's a pleasure of a listen.
