Hi, I'm Helen and I'm Sarah.

And this is the Squiggly Careers podcast where each week we share ideas for actions and tools to try out that we hope will help you and us to navigate your squiggly career with a bit more confidence, clarity and control.

It's been a hard week and it's really early on in the week that we're filming this and we've been doing this for over four years,

resource for you. And then you can work out which episodes that you want to listen to rather than

starting at number one and working your way through to here, in which case we'll see you in about two weeks of constant listening.

So what are we talking about today?

So today we're talking about how to change your pace and perspective.

So Helen and I were reflecting a bit on what's helped us and what's hindered us so far this year.

And we were talking about that when things

are going well, when you feel like you're working in a sustainable way in your squiggly career,

I think you get your pace and your perspective right. I think they're two different things and

we are going to divide them up, but they're sort of interconnected. And also when things go wrong,
