This episode is a solo one in which I talk about my experience transitioning from graduating college to working full time (from home for the foreseeable future). The audio is a little poor in the episode, so I apologize for that but I hope this is valuable for anyone starting a job, looking for jobs or just interested in learning about that transition. Please leave a review on Apple podcasts and DM me if you have any questions!

Neha's goal is to channel her inner monologue through embroidery while not taking herself too seriously. This episode was really insightful into her art process, but also that not everyone needs to have a side hustle or make their creativity/art monetary.
