I lost my voice last week, which threw the Working It podcast schedule into disarray and confined me to bed. I’d been working hard and dealing with some family issues, and the sudden collapse was a reminder of the mind-body link that too many (including me, apparently) ignore, especially when we have deadlines and targets that can’t wait.
Except, they can wait. The podcasts have been rescheduled and the time in bed gave me headspace to search out fresh perspectives on work and life. (Hello, Reddit, where my diverse interests — management, tattoos and cold water swimming — all have their own groups.)
