    Navigating perimenopause at work | Careering Podcast Ep.34

    After our women's health episodes, we've been asked by listeners to tackle perimenopause and menopause in the workplace. So this week we have a very special guest, Vanessa Bottomley, joining us to discuss her experience with her recent perimenopause diagnosis and how it has affected her and her career. 

    Listen in as we discuss how she identified her symptoms, how it's affected her life and how she's working through it all.

    This episode is focused on discussing lived experience, however if you'd like to follow up with a more scientific discussion check out this wonderful podcast episode with Dr. Lisa Mosconi, a neuroscientist specializing in women’s health,  talking about menopause, hormone health and Alzheimer's prevention.

    Career changes: From São Paulo to Ōtautahi | Careering Podcast Ep.33

    This week we're continuing our chat about career pivot points and what it takes to make a big industry, role and career change. For this fantastic episode, we are joined by another very special guest to discuss not only their big career change but their big life changes too.

    Starting out in makeup artistry in Brazil, Bianca (BZ) Chinaglia gives us a very unique insight into the international film industry and what drove her to leave it for little ole Ōtautahi, Aotearoa. She talks us through what it takes to pack it all up and move halfway across the world and how saying 'yes' has led her to a place of balance. Plus, we get a fascinating insight into all of her varied side hustles including her jewellery business, YouTube stardom and financial blogging.
