  • Timely advice

    I love Jess’s approach to this sometimes sensitive issue. I feel she “gets it” and it’s refreshing to hear her say that more often than not it’s not the massive career change thing that’s needed.Smaller changes or a refocus within your current context are often enough. That feels very achievable.

  • So glad this podcast exists

    There is a lot of support for women in their careers and far fewer for men who also often have a transition phase in their 40s. Can’t wait to share this with those I know as your wisdom is so grounded and real in these episodes

4. Navigating career change, identity crises & the pressure of being the main earner - with Andy Sockanathan
Q: Before redundancy, did you feel TV was the right fit for you, or did you sense there might be something better out there?
I felt it was a strong fit for many years, with opportunities and the right people, but the industry started shifting around 2021, making survival feel more prominent than thriving and prompting consideration of a broader path.
