Shining a light in the importance of happiness in your career

Soma is a great individual who highlights the importance of being happy within your career and how to address things that may be causing you NOT to feel happy. A lot of the topics she cover are seen as taboo within the workplace but if not addressed can lead to silence quitting. A great listen at any time

Sarah @ CopyHop ,

A career and life guide!

Soma speaks with such knowledge and passion about the world of work. Each episode has really useful advice and actionable steps to help you succeed in your own career goals. Definitely worth a listen!!
