Summary

Sophie Devonshire & Victoria Fox join Emma Harris to unpack the intense pressure and overwhelm that's gripping our industry.

Plus, we're diving deep into the lasting impact of COVID-19, how it's fuelled our fears, and why we're all struggling to adapt emotionally and operationally. Hosted on Acast.
