0:00.0	Hi, you're listening to the Squiggly Careers Podcast, a weekly show where we talk about the
0:07.0	ins, outs, ups and downs of careers and work and share tools and practical advice to help
0:12.0	you feel confident and in control of your development. Today, instead of my normal co-host, Sarah,
0:17.2	you're actually going to hear my conversation with organizational psychologist and New York
0:22.1	Times bestselling author Tasha Eurek. And we're going to talk about her brand new book, Shatterproof,
0:27.4	which shares a science-backed way to stay strong and self-aware in the face of challenge and change.
0:33.2	So really, how do you succeed in a squiggly career? I feel is the subtitle of Tasha's new book.
0:39.2	And Sarah and I are fans of Tasha's work. Her previous book Insight is all about how to be more self-aware.
0:44.9	And we reference it a lot in our work. So I was really excited to have this conversation.

1:21.6	as talk through the different steps to becoming shatterproof and some different examples and
1:26.7	tools that Tasha has got in her book
1:28.5	and that she shares in conversations so that you can take action. So with that, I think we should
1:32.8	just get into the conversation. Tasha, welcome to the Squiggly Careers podcast. Thank you,
1:40.5	Helen. It's great to be here. So I've been, and Sarah has been a fan of your work for a while,
1:45.5	particularly the insight work, which we reference in lots of places. And then this weekend,
1:50.3	I was getting stuck into Shatterproof. My husband and my children kept coming to me. And I was like,
