EP 376: Grief, Joy and Parenthood, with Nikesh Shukla

Parenthood changes our lives forever, and author Nikesh Shukla joins Harriet to discuss how his experience of fatherhood, mixed with the loss of his mother, inspired his new book, ‘Brown Baby’. Also, Harriet dives into whether going freelance is the best option for you, and why a job is not a gift. Plus, we dissect the age-old notion that women talk too much in meetings, and yes, *that* Handforth Parish Council meeting.Presenter: Harriet Minter - https://twitter.com/HarrietMinterGuest: Nikesh Shukla - https://twitter.com/nikeshshuklaBooks mentioned: Brown Baby: A Memoir of Race, Family and Home, by Nikesh Shukla. The Good Immigrant, by Nikesh Shukla. Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race, by Reni Eddo-Lodge.In The End, It Was All About Love, by Musa OkwongaWFH (Working From Home): How to build a career you love when you’re not in the office, by Harriet Minter Hosted on Acast.
