Squiggly Careers

Hosted by Sarah Ellis and Helen Tupper, the founders of Amazing If, Squiggly Careers is a weekly conversation that treats your professional life as the complex, non-linear journey it really is.

Their discussions feel like a candid chat with trusted advisors, covering a wide spectrum from the deeply personal, like quieting self-doubt and identifying your unique strengths, to the systemic challenges of dealing with micro-aggressions and managing stress. Every episode is designed to be immediately useful, packed with actionable ideas and subtle hints you can apply whether you're leading a team, seeking a change, or just trying to find more fulfillment in your current role. This podcast cuts through the noise of generic career advice, offering grounded strategies for taking genuine control of your development. Tune in for a refreshingly honest take on work that acknowledges its squiggly, unpredictable nature while giving you the confidence to steer your own path.
