In this week’s episode, I’m joined by the brilliant Gifty Enright — global workplace wellbeing expert, diversity and leadership consultant, TEDx speaker, and author of the highly acclaimed book Octopus on a Treadmill.
This conversation is full of empowering insights for working women — especially mothers — navigating the pressures of career, motherhood, identity, and self-care.
💬 In this episode, we talk about:
- The story behind Octopus on a Treadmill and why it resonates with working women
