In Episode 4 of Your Work Aunty podcast, Kalaida delves into the topics of resilience, perseverance and endurance while delving into other topic areas such as boundaries, claiming your power, friendships, choice, taking action, connection, and assertiveness. This was an important topic for me to cover and I wanted to honestly share my lessons learned, where I still struggle, and where I’ve overcome because we’re all in this together.
