Andrea, Career UpRising Listener
Thank you for your latest podcast regarding your client from Australia. Her story put so much in perspective, and I thank her for being willing to share her story so others can learn from it. I carry her story with me days after listening to it. I have lost my drive and stayed in a role because I have mentally and emotionally given up despite what others may see externally. So thanks again for such a powerful podcast, and I look forward to listening to your other ones as well.
