    Make Room for your Ambition

    What does it really take to build the career you want? In this episode of Sunset Memos, we sit down with Ivy Manyasi, a tax professional with experience across leading professional services firms and international tax and transfer pricing, for one of our most honest conversations yet. Ivy takes us behind the career journey the intentional decisions, the constant learning, the moments when she knew it was time to make a change, and the courage to pursue opportunities rather than simply wait for them. She speaks candidly about being deliberate about where she wanted her career to go, asking for opportunities, putting herself forward, continuing to learn and recognizing when a particular path no longer aligned with the goals she had set for herself. But there is also a deeply personal side to that ambition. Ivy shares what it meant to make difficult choices, including spending time away from her family in pursuit of her career and the life she was working to build. This conversation goes beyond career success. It asks us to think about how intentional we really are about our own careers. Are you waiting to be noticed, or are you asking for the opportunity? Are you staying somewhere because it still serves your goals, or because leaving feels uncomfortable? And perhaps most importantly what are you willing to do for the career you say you want? 🎧 This is What Are You Willing to Do for the Career You Want? with Ivy Manyasi, on Sunset Memos.

    The Courage to Pursue More

    What does it take to believe in yourself enough to pursue opportunities you once thought were beyond your reach? In this episode of Sunset Memos, we sit down with Sylvia Mwichuli, Secretary for Gender, Advocacy and Partnerships in the Office of the Women Rights Advisor to the President of Kenya, to explore a career journey shaped by courage, mentorship and the willingness to embrace new possibilities. From her beginnings in journalism to working with the late Kofi Annan and her current role in public service, Sylvia reflects on the experiences that shaped her path, the importance of speaking up in rooms where decisions are made, and why women must learn to advocate for themselves and step forward when opportunities arise. We also explore the power of mentorship, navigating career transitions and the reminder that where you come from does not have to determine where you go. This is a conversation about daring to want more, finding the confidence to pursue it and remaining open to the possibilities that emerge when you give yourself permission to grow. 🎧 Tune in to The Courage to Pursue More on Sunset Memos. Because sometimes, the next chapter of your career begins when you believe you are allowed to pursue it.

    The Human side of work, grief, resilience and becoming a people leader

    What happens when life doesn’t pause just because you have to show up for work? In this episode of Sunset Memos, we sit down with Rose, an HR professional and host of the Grief Angels Podcast, for an honest conversation about one of the realities workplaces often struggle to talk about: grief. Grief doesn’t stay at the door when an employee walks into the office. It can affect how we communicate, lead, make decisions, connect with colleagues and navigate everyday responsibilities. Yet many workplaces still lack the systems, language and leadership practices needed to support people through difficult seasons of life. Rose brings both professional insight and a deeply human perspective to the conversation, exploring what it really means to build people-centred workplaces from compassionate policies and supportive systems to managers who understand that caring for people and driving productivity are not opposing goals. We also talk about resilience, leadership, the journey of becoming a people leader, and why the future of work requires us to see employees as whole people not simply as job titles or performance metrics. A thoughtful conversation about grief, work, leadership and the kind of workplace culture we all have a role in creating.

    Who you are is your competitive advantage - Identity. Confidence. Diversity. The power of small, consistent actions

    What if the very thing that makes you different is the very thing that gives you an edge? In this episode of Sunset Memos, we sit down with finance professional, mentor, and podcast host Urmi Hossain for an inspiring conversation on identity, diversity, confidence, and career growth. Growing up between two cultures, Urmi shares how embracing her unique identity shaped her journey and why diversity in the workplace is more than representation, it's about creating environments where people can thrive by being themselves. Together, we explore overcoming imposter syndrome, trusting your worth, and how small, consistent actions can quietly build confidence, open doors, and create extraordinary careers. If you've ever questioned whether you truly belong, this conversation is a reminder that your greatest competitive advantage isn't becoming someone else, it's embracing who you already are.

    Motherhood, Identity and Career - Who am I Now?

    Motherhood is often described as one of life's most beautiful transitions, but what happens when it changes how you see yourself? In this episode of Sunset Memos, we explore the often-unspoken identity shift that many women experience after becoming mothers. From navigating career pauses and rebuilding confidence to balancing ambition with the realities of motherhood, we unpack the emotional and professional journey of finding yourself again. Joined by a therapist, we have an honest conversation about self-abandonment, guilt, changing priorities, professional growth, and the pressure many women feel to "bounce back" after childbirth. Together, we explore: • Why motherhood can feel like a loss of identity for some women • The impact of motherhood on confidence and career progression • How to navigate feelings of falling behind professionally • The tension between ambition and motherhood • Practical ways to reconnect with yourself and rebuild career momentum • The role of community, support systems, and self-compassion during this season Whether you're a new mother, a seasoned parent, or simply navigating a season of transition, this episode offers reassurance that while motherhood may change you, it does not diminish your potential. Because the question isn't whether motherhood changes who you are. It's how you learn to embrace who you're becoming. 🎧 Listen now and join the conversation. #SunsetMemos #ForWomenInCorporate
