This episode is a special one as Carly shares not only what her own career journey has been, but also dives into how COVID impacted us and our careers, especially when it comes to flexible working. If you don’t know much about what a sustainable career is and how this can greatly benefit you to make the most out of your professional (and personal!) life: this one is for you. Spoiler alert: has Carly made multiple transitions and is a working mum, she also shares very openly how she navigated these changes whilst stretching out of her comfort zone (and therefore self-confidence!). About Carly As an Occupational and Business Psychologist, Researcher and Associate Lecturer at Northumbria University, Carly's work aims to make working environments more human friendly, allowing people and businesses to thrive.
