54: On Skincare Rituals, the Influence and Expectations of Parents' Work-Life Values, and Finding Balance When You're Both a Scientist and an Artist
Description
My guest this episode is no stranger to mixing things up: she has moved countries and even continents multiple times in her life; she is a scientist with a PhD, describes herself as an artist, and has gone on to train as a Reiki master; and now she literally mixes things up as the creator of her own skincare brand, combining evidence-based science with the wisdom of ancient healing philosophy.
Her name is Dr Fernanda da Silva Tatley, and throughout our conversation we touch on:
*How living in different countries expands your cultural horizons and influences your values around work and everything else in life;
*Growing up with aspirational parents that object to idleness, and the impact this has on work values;
*Reflections of parenting, with the hindsight that comes when your children reach adulthood;
*How to find a work-life balance when you want to pursue a different career path than the one you originally chose;
*How self-care and self-love can enhance your overall sense of balance.
