Welcome to 9 to 5 with Avi and Anita a podcast where we talk with excellent women in the middle of their career journey about how they got where they are and where they're going. We're perptually curious about how people ended up in their jobs - maybe because neither of us have ever had a plan. There's a lot out there for women at the start of their careers and lots out there too following women at the top of their careers. But what about those of us in the middle? That's who we want to hear from. We've booked in friends and colleagues working in all kinds of fields to chat about how they juggle life and a career that feels worth it. A little about your co-hosts: Anita Dullard is studying a MSc Climate and Energy Policy, taking time out from media advocacy; Avigail Shai is a diplomatic and policy adviser, and former diplomat – they met working in the international humanitarian sector, stayed for the chat and shared hilarity. Hit up your regular podcast platforms to find 9 to 5 with Avi and Anita and subscribe. If you love it, don't forget to drop us a review and share where ever these good things get shared.

Customer Reviews
Frank and shooting straight from the hip!
I’ve really enjoyed listening to the first two episodes so far! Can’t imagine why that would change. Anita and Avi are great co-hosts - they obviously have an amazing network of women from all over the world with diverse and unique backgrounds. Anita and Avi don’t override their guests, which leads to some nice gems in the discussion. The podcast has a nice balance between like listening in on old friends and career women sharing their experiences and views and sage advice. I’ve taken away something from each episode so far. A great podcast for all of us to expand our understanding of the experiences of others.
The inspo and reassurance you need
This podcast couldn’t come at a better time in my career. Love listening to inspirational women!
