Customer Reviews
Such a good find!
As someone spontaneously laid off during the pandemic who shifted drastically— I’m loving this!
Thoughtful and Reassuring
I was heading towards a different career path until I went down the rabbit hole of coding. Changing from a liberal arts focus to one that’s scientific and male dominated can be daunting and hearing these stories make me feel reassured. These people are courageous and shows that following your passion can pay off.
I listen to these during a car ride or doing dishes. Definitely a feed good series!
Unique and inspirational
As someone who had a career switch themselves, this podcast really resonates with me! These stories need to be told to help inspire all of the people who may be thinking of doing the same and are too scared. I highly recommend. Also, Clare’s voice is amazing and I could listen to her talk all day.
