S1 - EPISODE 4: with guest TSHOLO SEMENYA - TV Producer and Content Director

Tales of Female Badassery

In Episode 4, we welcome the inspiring Tsholo Semenya, who our podcast host Betty Adamou met 4 years ago, in beautiful Bali.
They were both there as part of an Unsettled co-working retreat, and met again when Betty spent 1 month travelling around in Tsholo's birthplace of South Africa.
Tsholo first caught our hosts' attention as an unapologetic badass when she said things like "'No' is a complete sentence", and unbelievably, married herself!
(Yes, with a wedding with a dress and everything, and yes of course we talk about that in this episode, and of course we'll share a photo of Tsholo in her wedding dress!).
Join us as we also talk about...

• Unsuccessful sabbaticals
• The harsh realities of going after your goals; saying 'yes' to one thing means saying 'no' to something else
• The importance of a 'f*ck you' savings pot of money
• The practicalities of making work places into safe spaces
• Why we need to be honest with children when we say things like "you can be anything you want"
• Quitting her job and starting a new chapter
• MARRYING HERSELF (can we stress again how amazing this is?)
• Getting comfortable with being uncomfortable
• Supporting other women in the workplace, and how we can do that
• How Tsholo started her career in media
• And so much more!

In this episode, we briefly reference an article about how diverse workplaces are more commercially successful. Here's the link: www.forbes.com/sites/karstenstrauss/2018/01/25/more-evidence-that-company-diversity-leads-to-better-profits
