Welcome to this week's Squiggly Careers podcast. I'm Helen and I'm here with Sarah. Hi everyone. And if you are new to the Squiggly Careers podcast, welcome just to give you the very brief overview of what you're listening to. It's a weekly podcast to help you with your career thinking and your development. We are now on episode 138, I think Sarah. So if you are new, lots to listen to. And if that seems

can doing the things that give me energy or at least try and do them as early in the day as

possible so it sort of sets me up for the rest of the day so I thought maybe Sarah it would be

useful as a bit of a start before we get into this week's topic to share some of the things that

give us energy are you up for this ofumably there's only one answer to that question. Yeah, we're like, don't, don't, don't,

don't, don't fail me now. Two things that are giving me energy and that I actually really have to

prioritise because I find if I don't, I sort of, yeah, it definitely makes me feel flat. So the first
