About this listen

In the I F'd Up! podcast, host Noelle interviews guests from diverse career experiences on a mistake they made at work. Through honest and unfiltered conversations, guests unpack how they came to make a work mistake, how they navigated the fallout and what they learned in the process. By creating a space for honest discussions about how we show up at work, we hope to challenge limiting beliefs around value and perfectionism, fostering a shift in mindset and in life.
