Judith and I first met in 1996 when we started secondary school together. We’ve been friends ever since despite living in different countries for the past 13 years.
With a career in business that has evolved and been shaped by changing family responsibilities, Judith has carved out a career that is both practical and fulfilling.
This is the first time I’ve had the pleasure of interviewing someone I know well on this podcast and it was a very enlightening experience.
We imagine that we know most things about our friends but, in reality, the finer details of each other’s work are not necessarily something we talk about a lot and I learned so much about Judith in this interview.
We would love to hear from you; either just to say hello or to let us know how this episode resonates with your own work/life situation.
“Having multiple activities has actually changed me quite considerably. I’m naturally a perfectionist but because I have so much going on; so many different activities, so many deadlines, so much pressure coming from everywhere, I’ve learned to trust myself and to trust my abilities to produce something good very quickly.” - Judith Giraud

A note from Hannah Ashe
I’m aware that those in the thick of a career change, who have left a job or taken a pay cut, may not have the means to pay to listen and so the Creative Career Change podcast will always be free to all subscribers with no adverts. I hope the conversations may inspire others to make changes in the way they approach their work in order to seek more balance in their life.
Making this podcast is a labour of love and I do everything myself. This includes finding guests, planning questions, recording the conversation, editing, mixing, composing music and publishing the episode.
By becoming a paid subscriber, you help to ensure I can continue to record new episodes and make the Creative Career Change podcast available to all who can be inspired by it. Alternatively, if you’d prefer to make a one-off contribution to the podcast you can buy me a coffee here. I’m hugely grateful for all and any contributions!
Thank you.
