Hi, I'm Helen and I'm Sarah. And this is the squiggly careers podcast, a weekly podcast where we talk about the ups and downs of work in order to give you a little bit more clarity, confidence and control over your squiggly career. They're designed to be super practical and hopefully quite relatable as well because we are often going through lots of the things that we talk to you about.
