ABSTRACT
In this bonus section, I’m sharing a transcript of a conversation that I had with Pooky Knightsmith for her podcast Pooky Ponders, where she asked me the question, ‘how much of ourselves should we bring to the workplace. Some people who are starting on their PhD, I mean, I'm sure that they love it, but it takes up every minute of every day, but they don't necessarily produce stuff, whereas I think you sound hyper focused. There's loads of questions, and I'm really sure, and particularly because I really will make it my mission to try and help her, I'm really sure she will actually fulfill this dream as long as her dreams stays the same. I feel like my whole working life path was set in motion the moment I was born in a mother and baby unit. And I feel so grateful and lucky that those experiences created a pathway that aligned with my passion.
