We’re taking this opportunity to interview Wesley Anne Little (on instagram: @wesleyannelittle), a couples therapist from North Carolina who is a regular guest on Chris Do’s YouTube channel. Wesley is a relationship therapist who is certified in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. She loves helping people realize relationships don't have to be so confusing! We’ll be talking to Wesley about work life and how it affects love and relationships, as well as being in a couple during coronavirus, how to deal with stir-craziness, and muuuuch more. There's so much gold in here, so if you're not in a relationship or not looking, we're pretty sure you'll be able to learn something about all human relationships. Please, let us know what you think, and enjoy! 

We're staying super on-theme this week, making sure we're covering topics that we think will be useful to you, our dear listeners. First, Penny shares a few tips on how to navigate the economic downturn if you're a freelancer. Secondly, we tackle resilience: how to bounce back from a crisis, how to be flexible, and how to be positive *enough*. We hope you feel good after this eppy!

Sorry we've been away for a few weeks! We are SO happy to be back. We know it's impossible to focus during this chaotic time, so this week, we thought we'd share our biggest work failures to make you laugh, cringe, and hopefully realise that failure is normal and ok.

It will be better next time, promise :)  Join our community on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/groups/812538469107105/) for more regular tips, chats and fun work-related things!

We hear a lot about leadership from CEOs and managers, but we rarely hear the perspective of people who aren't leaders! This week we're talking all things leadership, including what makes a great boss, what makes a terrible boss, and if you're a boss, why you should care! Seriously though, there are some real gems in here so make sure you tune in.

It would be SO nice if there was a way to hack yourself to a higher salary, wouldn’t it?! But the reality is that it’s a nuanced process that can’t be won by brute force. This week, we return to the topic of salary, and share some useful advice on how to approach this sticky subject with confidence.
