Hello and welcome to the Squiggly Careers podcast. I am Helen and I'm joined by my co-host of the podcast, Sarah.

Hi everyone. And as ever, we are here with you to share our thoughts, our advice and practical tips to help you take ownership for your career and succeed in all of its lovely squigglyness because squiggly careers are full of opportunity. They sometimes

feel a bit challenging and they sometimes might feel a bit tricky, but actually they are

full of opportunity if we know how to navigate them. And that is what we are here to help you do each

week. This is actually episode 85 of the podcast. And in the past episodes, we've covered things

like last week's words, how to coach yourself.

We've covered things on interviews.

We've covered things on work well-being.

So if this is the first time you're listening, maybe go back and search through some of the other ones and find the topics that might be most relevant to you right now.

I've had some people actually say to me, oh, you know, I've just discovered you.

So they listen to the latest episode.

And then they're almost a bit daunted. They're like, oh, I've got like 84 episodes to catch

off on. And I sort of don't know what to say. I'm like, oh, okay, good luck. I was listening to a podcast

this week when I was commuting somewhere by Creative Equals and they were, it was a podcast about somebody who had started, like, the podcast trend,

actually.

It's quite interesting.

But it said a stat that the average podcast actually ends after seven episodes.

We perhaps didn't get that memo.

Yeah, we did go.

I don't know when we're going to stop.

We're not going to stop everyone.

We're going to keep doing this for as long, as we can.
