Clocking Off with Clouds

This week we are tackling the topic of diversity and inclusion in the workplace, and why it's so important to feel like you belong.

Note: There are some audio issues throughout the episode, the audio file was damaged so there are parts where you hear some pop sounds. I'm so sorry for this! Will try to fix this moving forward.

This week we cover:
Inclusion and belonging in the workplace
Why I used to hate work drinks
Navigating the corporate world as a woman of colour
What it's like being a minority in consulting and in tech
Working in white male dominated industries
How I tackled imposter syndrome
Misconceptions I had about myself because of lack of inclusion
If you've ever felt like an outsider at work, or simply felt like you don't fit in - then this is a safe space for us to have an honest chat about it!

In this week's Valentine's special, I brought in my best friend Carmen and we react to the internet's dating dilemmas! We add our 2 cents on relationship problems and share our own perspectives on dating.

We read through reddit threads, AITA stories, your personal questions, and more!
This episode covers:
How to meet people outside of dating apps
Our thoughts on office relationships
Breaking no contact with ex
Dynamic between relationships and friendships
Why girls don't approach first
When is it appropriate to ghost someone
Feeling unattracted to your partner

Note: This Valentines episode is slightly late as I was away in China and Bali, and the dodgy hotel internet wasn't allowing me to upload. Lesson learnt! Thanks for being patient with me as I navigate the podcast.
