Rejection, Grief and DEI Fatigue - The story so far...

Money for Plantain ·

2025/10/15

This weeks episode is a bit different from the rest. It covers parts of my personal journey with rejection, finding my purpose and navigating change. Sometimes it's good to get it off your chest and share as there is always more people out there who have experienced the same, if not similar situation. A slightly nerve racking episode, but I hope it helps someone or at least makes you think :-)
