In this special episode, the tables were turned and the mic was on me this time, as I joined career coach and HR guru Adrian Tan on The Adrian Tan Show to unpack the messy, beautiful journey that led to my own personal and professional transformation as well as the birth of the Make It Work Podcast. 👩‍👧‍👦✨

In this raw, honest conversation, I dive into:

🎙️ Redefining Purpose: How becoming a mum reshaped everything I thought I knew about success

🔄 The Pivot Point: Why the biggest career shifts often begin with deep personal transformation

🎨 Portfolio Life: My journey into crafting a career that’s part-time CEO, part-podcaster, part-community-builder
🤝 Power of Community: Real strategies for leaning on your tribe when everything feels up in the air
💌 Letter to Younger Me: The advice I wish I’d had before those first steps into motherhood and entrepreneurship

Tune in for unfiltered reflections, actionable insights, and the reassurance that none of us have it all figured out—and that’s exactly where the magic happens. I hope it inspires you in your journey!
