Product of Your Environment

Product of Your Environment

As we continue to explore the concept of having multiple places called home, we dig deeper into the influences that these places have on us. Can our values change as we move from location to location? Do they stay the same? Is who we are shaped by the place we lived in the longest? Is it okay to change based on the environment you are in or does that mean you are not being your authentic self?

There is a definite line between what makes women and men happy or Right and wrong.Ofcourse we have the stereotypes, societal and cultural conditioning and so much more but what else influences this pressure to be woman enough.In this episode we battle the age old question "can a woman have/be/do it all?".

One of the Hardest Working....

Domestic Workers are some of the hardest working members of society. According to International Labour Organization, there are at least 67 million domestic workers worldwide. Many of these individuals face very low wages, excessively long hours, have no guaranteed weekly day off and at times are vulnerable to abuse or restrictions on freedom, often attributed to gaps in national labour and employment legislation. On this episode we navigate through the perception of domestic workers and what it means to employ them...or not.
