Overworked but Optimistic: Recent Episodes
overworkedbutoptimistic
It’s difficult to balance studying while maintaining a social life, especially when you factor in work, family obligations and other commitments. Follow along with Helen and Alice as they navigate sleep-deprived deadline doom and address topics such as Ambition, Independence and more, all while trying to remain optimistic. If you feel like a clumsy juggler, or simply seek validation that you’re not alone, then this is the podcast for you.
This episode is a light-hearted chat about what feminism means to us and positive female role-models.
