Manage episode 377183746 series 3509996
Are your life goals aligned with your job?
We are all different and all require different things to maintain our wellbeing. You need to be able to align with your flow, your skills, your joy and not be influenced by something that can harm that.
In this episode I talk to Stella Smith, Founder and CEO of pirkx, my collaborator on this podcast. Pirkx is a pioneering force within the benefits market working hard to make them inclusive for all.
Stella discusses her own wellbeing journey including the role her childhood had in making her who she is today. We also talk about how ambition and wellness fit together, the reasons for wanting to start this podcast and where we see the future of wellbeing and work.
