To be heard on this episode: Sandra Perens who is opening up about the value of mentorship in her career, how she fostered a healthy relationship between work and her mental health, and why you should proceed to do what you love - although you parents might still not get your job.

When I asked Sandra what she found helpful along her career - in any matter, she sent me a list saying: "They haven’t exactly been smth for my career advancement, but rather ways to broaden my mind and thinking and a way to reset so I’d be able to do good work later on." We love a broadened mind so please find Sandras recommendations below:

Books would be:
Adam Grant's "Originals"
James Clear's "Atomic Habits"
Jenny Odell's "How to Do Nothing"
Bernardine Evaristo's "Girl, Woman, Other"
Ann Patchett's "The Dutch House"
Madeleine Miller's "The Song of Achilles"

Blogs I enjoy are also from Adam Grand and then from Esther Perel - they give such wonderful insights into the world and relatioships around us. They also have podcasts - Esther’s “Where should we begin” is a great listening. Then I also subscribe to Monocle magazines daily newsletter - it keeps you up to date with the things going on around the world, and the Sunday one always has a recepie to try out and I do like a cool new recipe.

For podcasts there's “Home Cooking” by Samin Nosrat and Hrishikes Hirway and then "Heavyweight" by Jonathan Goldstein.
