  • Why we left Instagram

    In this episode of the Anisha and Sunjay show, we dive deep into the decision to quit Instagram and focus on building a strong community through other platforms like LinkedIn and YouTube. Anisha shares her personal struggle with the time-consuming nature of creating content for Instagram and the lack of engagement despite consistent posting.

  • Behind The Mic

    In this episode, we dive into our experience at the London Podcast Show, sharing our insights, takeaways, and reflections. We discuss the excitement leading up to the event, the valuable connections made, and the overall impact it had on our podcasting journey.

    We both express how attending the event reinvigorated our passion for podcasting, especially after months of hard work and dedication to our shows. The show served as a reminder of the progress we've made and the knowledge we've gained in the podcasting space.

    One key takeaway was the importance of community in the podcasting world. We highlight the value of connecting with other podcasters, sharing experiences, and learning from each other's journeys. This sense of community inspired us to launch our own free online community called "Behind the Mic".

    The community aims to provide support, resources, and networking opportunities for podcasters at all stages of their journey. We discuss the features of the community, including chat groups, Q&A sessions, expert speakers, and resources to help members kickstart their podcasting endeavours.

  • She Quit Her Job

    Walking away from a career that's intertwined with your heartstrings feels like an act of betrayal—yet here I am, stepping back from my pediatric palliative care pharmacy role. I've poured everything into our little warriors at Evelina and Kings, but the whispers of family life have become roars I can't ignore. In our latest episode, I bare my soul about the guilt-laced decision to resign, the tug-of-war between professional fulfillment and the magnetic pull of family needs. It's a conversation that delves into the complexities of adjusting to life as a family of four and the stark realities sleepless nights bring to our daily rhythms.


    Striking a work-life balance isn't just about carving out time; it's about recalibrating your entire career to the tune of your personal life. That's precisely the journey I'm embarking on—refining my multifaceted role in pharmacy to hold onto the joy of teaching and connecting with students, while letting go of the administrative burdens that eat into precious family moments. We talk about the difficulty of unplugging from a career that often doesn't have an off switch and share the strategies I'm adopting to ensure that the moments with my little ones aren't just fleeting memories.


    Finally, we turn our gaze toward the horizon, where the exciting world of self-employment in pharmacy beckons. 


    Join us as I step into a future where professional growth and family life are no longer at odds, but harmoniously aligned.
