    Episode 9 - Kris McMeans, Business Analyst - DOC

    Welcome to the ninth episode of Super Good Juice. This week we speak with Kris McMeans, who in her early 30’s, has what many would describe as quite a squiggly career! Having fallen under the spell of LOTR behind-the-scenes footage, Kris was determined to pursue a career in film. Having achieved this, and facing the loss of her beloved brother, she packed her bags and relocated her life from Texas to Wellington. Landing herself a sponsored job, Kris found herself in the world of technology, and nearly six years later, she hasn’t really looked back. We cover a lot in today’s career conversation, from doing what makes you happy, realising that a more traditional 9-5 work life was a pretty appealing concept, her experience as an immigrant in NZ, finding a pathway in the tech space and a whole heap more.

    Episode 7 - Zoe Carson, Group Business Director - MediaCom

    Welcome back to Super Good Juice! In episode 7 we interview Zoe Carson who, for over a decade, has cultivated an impressive career in the advertising industry. Having studied law and Spanish at uni, her career kicked off with an internship in Dubai, she moved back to Auckland, had a stint in London, and moved back to Auckland in 2019 with a fresh perspective, a completely different role, and her very own personal career BHAG. There’s another part to Zoe’s story, and it’s a personal one. Zoe was born with a cleft palate and lip; she opens up with us about the health, mental, physical and social challenges she has faced with the condition, and how all of this has influenced or shaped her. Persistent and a natural problem solver, Zoe is now on the board of Cleft NZ to raise awareness and boost advocacy for adults with cleft conditions. We cover so much in this episode, from luck to grief, first impressions to crises, puppies to toxic work cultures, the importance of looking after your mental health and so much more. We love today’s episode and especially thank Zoe for her vulnerability and candor. Thank you for listening in! We love you so much!

    Episode 5 - Maddie Ashby, Commercial Relationship & Sustainability Manager, ACC

    Uni and your 20’s can really fly by. A lot happens in those years and it can all feel like a bit of a whirlwind. Today we are speaking with Maddie Ashby who at nearly 32 yo, has recently survived her 20’s! This self-described nerd took a relatively traditional post-high school route, heading to Otago University, becoming a lawyer, testing the waters in the legal field working for one of the big three law firms, NZTE, and in-house at Stuff, before landing at ACC and carving out a sustainability function into her commercial relationships management role. Maddie is one of those people that seem wise beyond their years, she has an enviable self-awareness that empowers her to reflect and address some of those not so ideal habits (stress), make tough but decisive career decisions, as well as the confidence to tackle the unknown. We also talk regrets, identifying and showing gratitude to those hidden mentors, the solace she’s found in hobbies, her intuition and so much more! Enjoy this, the fifth episode of Super Good Juice!

    Episode 4 - Katie Duncan, Director - White Tie Catering & White Tie Health Services

    Welcome to the fourth episode of the Super Good Juice Podcast, the career podcast for everyday women, by everyday women. In this episode hosts Mary-Jane and Bridget interview Katie Duncan, Director of White Tie Catering and White Tie Health Services in Christchurch. And what a whopper of a chat this one is! Winding our way through Katie’s career we talk about her time in journalism, her stint at Saatchi & Saatchi in London, working for and then taking the reins of her family’s catering company with her business partner, expanding their service offering into the aged care space, and how she deals with a constant internal calling to feed all the children of Aotearoa. She also talks candidly about the past decade-plus as they lived with and navigated the Christchurch Earthquake and its aftermath, confronting the loss of her beloved father, having babies, the Christchurch Mosque shooting and most recently covid. Katie's is a story of resilience (though she’s rightly sick of hearing that), a deep commitment to people, an unwavering passion for what is right, and so much more. Hold on to your hats, this episode is a long one, but it’s a good one.

    Episode 2 - Lauren (Ren) Joe, Community Development Practitioner

    In today’s episode, Mary-Jane and Bridget speak with Lauren (Ren) Joe. The first thing to strike anyone who meets Lauren is her abundantly warm, open heart. Her career story is one of compassion, of making an impact, and striving to create a better world with every interaction she makes, big or small. In a   moment in time where there is a deep sense of urgency, Ren has been quite happy setting her own pace; in this episode she talks about her time at high school as Head Girl, dropping out of uni, working to travel (rinse and repeat), returning to uni, co-founding an organisation supporting charities, up until now in her role as a Community Development Practitioner. This is a wonderful kōrero with ever-present themes of empathy, kindness, fairness and being true to yourself. We dare you to be inspired!
