About this episode

Today's episode is a replay with Sarah Ellis. PART TWO on 'squiggly motherhood' is already live btw!


Sarah is the co-founder of Amazing If, an award-winning career development company with an ambition to democratise career development. They are the co-hosts of the UK’s no.1 careers podcast, Squiggly Careers and the book The Squiggly Career out now. In January 2021 they recorded their TEDx talk at Abbey Road Studios in London. Their work has lots of parallels with mine, they recognise that the world of linear and predictable career ladders are disappearing. Instead, careers are now much more 'squiggly'. I love their stuff. Hope you enjoy!
