Post-Uni Realities: Balancing Ambition and Mental Health We Haven’t Talked About it Yet

    • Mental Health

In this episode, I share my post-university journey during the challenging COVID-19 period. Facing uncertainty and job scarcity, I moved from Somerset to Manchester, eventually landing my first creative job through the Kickstarter Scheme. However, the joy was short-lived as I experienced sudden job loss, leading to a dark period of self-doubt.
I discuss the pressures of hustle culture and the mental toll of constant job searching. Emphasizing the importance of self-care, I highlight my positive shift working in a podcast studio, connecting with diverse stories. My hope is that my journey resonates with others facing similar struggles, reminding them to prioritize mental health. Thanks for listening.
