JobsWorth - Alexandra Allan

On JobsWorth this week I’m speaking with Essex based Nutritional Therapist, Alexandra Allan. Alex describes herself as having been lucky enough to have had two careers. The first was a 20 year run in publishing…a world she’d wanted to work in from a young age and one where she achieved a great level of success.  The second began when Alex turned 40, inspired in part by a book she picked up in an airport that changed her life on a flight home from New York. During our conversation we explore the events that led Alex to change her relationship with work, why she turned her back on a job and an industry where she was at the top of her game,  what it actually takes to move from one career to another and how she overcame imposter syndrome along the way. We discuss Alex’s experience of supporting her clients with perimenopause and menopause, the impact it can have on women beyond hot flushes and highlight the work that still needs to be done to ensure organisations are providing the support to their employees that is so desperately needed. I also ask Alex some listeners questions on nutrition, health and wellbeing and was blown away by just how knowledgeable she is. There is some seriously useful stuff in here. This is a super special episode. Please enjoy…Alexandra Allan. #jobsworth #podcast #career #worklife #storiesthatinspirechangeKeywordsNutritional Therapy, Career Change, Women's Health, Perimenopause, Publishing, Life Transitions, Personal Growth, Health and Wellness, PCOS, Gut Health, menopause, workplace support, nutrition, supplements, fasting, career change, health, wellness, women's health, NHSWebsite - https://www.alexallannutrition.co.uk/contactInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/alexallannutrition/LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/alex-allan-nutrition/The JobsWorth website is here www.jobs-worth.comWatch the show on YouTube; https://www.youtube.com/@jobsworthpodcastFollow the show on Instagram; https://www.instagram.com/jobsworthpodcast/?hl=enFollow me on LinkedIn; https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnhawker/Follow me on TikTok; https://www.tiktok.com/@globaltechcollectiveSubscribe to my newsletter 'The Job Journal from GTC'; https://subscribepage.io/TheJobJournalLearn more about my proper job; https://www.globaltechcollective.com/Contact the show on [email protected]
