Summary
I was so excited to have the opportunity to sit down with Dyson Engineer Niamh Turney about her experience as a woman in tech, especially at a young age. What I didn’t expect was a conversation that would literally change the way I parent, move in rooms, and find confidence in moments where I may be a little more introverted. This podcast explores the curious world of Dyson, careers starting at 19 to careers starting at 40. Failure, passion and all the bits in between. Oh, and how jet technology is literally in hair tools now - SO FASCINATING!

| 0:27.4 | There are so many apps out there that help you in your life. |
| 0:30.1 | But up until now, single parents haven't had a dating app specifically designed for them. |
| 0:35.9 | But now they do. |
| 0:37.0 | It's called Stir. This is the only dating app for |
| 0:40.4 | single parents. And I know I've been there. And while I didn't have an app like this at the time, |
| 0:46.6 | I'm so passionate about people who are parents, who also happen to be single, finding a place to land |
| 0:52.6 | that maybe makes them feel a little bit more comfortable |
| 0:54.8 | in the dating scene. Because Stir is a place where single parents can just be single. |

| 1:04.7 | grade. It's not something that you have to like surprise pop up like, oh, also I'm a parent. |
| 1:09.5 | Oh, also I have three kids. No, this is definitely |
| 1:12.4 | part of who you are. And stir is where you don't have to apologize for having a really wild |
