Vithyaa Thavapalan , Jules Thoughts

She still calls herself unemployed.

This is a woman who built the first fire investigation company of its kind in the world owned by a woman of colour. Who started a national community for South Asian women. Who's changed industry practice around domestic violence cases. And she calls herself unemployed, because nobody tells her what to do anymore. She controls her own time.

In this takeaway episode, I'm sharing three things from my conversation with Vithyaa that I'm not just reflecting on, but actually putting into practice myself: why rebellion doesn't have to be loud to be aligned, why a boundary doesn't need to be announced to be real, and why keeping a record of your own small wins might be the thing that quiets self-doubt when it gets loud.

Plus, the piece of advice from Vithyaa I keep coming back to, be brave and back yourself, because what if you can do it, what if it works, what if this is exactly what you're meant to be doing?
