On this week's episode of Scilence: My guest's views on opportunities for women in this male-dominate field are refreshingly unusual and alternative. Her opinions on gender discrimination, societal labels, expectations and people-pleasing are confidently delivered and liberating for anyone caught up in caring too much about what others think!
Our conversation gets blunt, honest and will turn your own thinking upside down. She follows her passion, interests and curiosity and believes that we should all be driven by authenticity.
As a result, my guest is doing exactly what she wants with her life and is now at her happiest - but she has certainly had her own journey to get to this point. She takes us through its twists and turns. Having dealt with her anger in grad school and demolishes through a few out-dated beliefs and stereotypes, to now feel comfortable in her own skin.
My guest acknowledges that you can't please everyone, only yourself. But, you can get to know who you are; choosing not to self-discriminate or judge others. Everyone has a fair chance of being disadvantaged and a victim - it depends on what perspective you choose.
Engineers are problems solvers and on this episode, we look at a few problems that society creates for itself and how to adjust your own attitudes, so as not to fall prisoner to them.
