How to Job Search While Pregnant—From a Woman Who Did It
Even before COVID times, the idea of searching for a new job...while also being pregnant was a daunting one. Is it better to play it safe with your current role—or do you interview and try to start a new role at work while you’re also starting a new one at home. Job searching while pregnant is a unique and complex idea because it also includes plenty of systemic challenges. However, one of the best ways to learn how to job search while pregnant is by talking to a woman who already did it. Today we’re hearing from Jen Watts Welsh, an executive at an ad agency who interviewed for her current role at 6 months pregnant and secured a job offer at 8 months.

The Argument For The "Good Enough" Job
Have you ever felt the pressure to make sure you’re working a job that not only pays you, but also fulfills you, is something you’re passionate about, and you can easily describe as your “dream” job? For many of us, this is and has been the goal, but what if our quest for the dream job is keeping us from enjoying the “good enough” job? In this episode, we’ll share what the “good enough” job is and four arguments on why you should pursue it over any “dream job.”

Customer Reviews
A must for anyone who wants to be inspired!
I looove their podcasts! It makes me feel part of a community and gives me the motivation to be the best that I can be in my personal as well as my professional life. It gave me the courage to stop and think if my current job was right for me and take the step to get closer to my life goals!!
@rosemarie_mtl
Informative and helpful
Great podcast! Not only entertaining but also lots of tips to implement ideas right away. Just listened to one of the older episodes with Bula Sokunbi (“I saved $100,000 in 3.5 years”) and thrilled it wasn’t another “don’t buy lattes” podcast. I grabbed a pen and paper and started working through my budget as I was listening along. Thank you! @flyingmartini
One of my favourite podcasts
I discovered this podcast at the start of quarantine last year, and have learned so much both about how to build a career of purpose, but also things that help me as an HR professional. It’s one of my favourite podcasts and love to listen on my morning walk. One of my favourite things I’ve learned was around how setting a morning routine before work will help me start off the day strong. @thecolourread
