Summary
I Did Everything Right. So Why Isn't Life Working? (Part 2) What happens when you've done everything you were told would lead to success and life still doesn't go according to plan? In Part Two of Tanya Nyambura's story, the reality of adulthood collides with everything she believed growing up. After years of academic excellence, Tanya enters the job market expecting her hard work to finally pay off. Instead, she encounters rejection, unemployment, workplace politics, and the unsettling realization that school prepared her for exams but not necessarily for life. As she rebuilds her confidence, Tanya begins asking bigger questions about identity, work, purpose, and what success really means in a rapidly changing world. Her journey ultimately leads her to write The Unemployment Handbook, challenging many of the beliefs we've inherited about employment, self-worth and the future of work. This is Part Two of Tanya's story.In this episode: Entering the job market during COVID-19 The emotional toll of unemployment and rejection Why school doesn't always prepare us for the workplace Learning communication, negotiation and professional skills as an adult Freelancing, entrepreneurship and creating multiple income streams Separating your identity from your job title The inspiration behind The Unemployment Handbook Rethinking success in an era of AI and changing careers Resources mentioned in this episode The Unemployment Handbook by Tanya Nyambura https://selar.com/e57zvs2770?currency=KES Connect with Tanya https://www.instagram.com/nyambura_tanya/ For Mannerless Women Live Early Bird Tickets are now live!
