Report
Episode Highlight: On this episode of the "Embracing Only" podcast, we are featuring one of the most impactful moments from episode 6, where we were lucky enough to have Archita’s mother, Vijaya Sivakumar, as a guest. She shares her experience of working for 40 years at a company in India as the only female among 70 men — all while raising two daughters.    This episode is just a short snippet that highlights the best and most powerful learning moment from a past episode. You can listen to the full episode (filled with more wisdom) here: Episode 6: A Special Episode - Giving Thanks.   Key Discussion Points: 01:09 Being the Only Woman in the Room: Archita shares how her mother has influenced her feelings toward being the only woman in the room. 02:43 Embracing Differences in the Workplace: Share to grow - share your knowledge with your colleagues so that you can both grow. 04:22 Choice Versus Sacrifice: It’s not about focusing on the sacrifices made, it’s about fulfilling the commitments to the choices you have made. 07:46 Asking For Help: It is possible to have both a career and children if you lean into opportunities and don’t hesitate to ask for help.   In Summary: Vijaya Sivakumar challenges us to change our perspective on choice versus sacrifice. By using the word choice, you take the power back into your hands versus letting the circumstance have sway over you.   Connect with your hosts: Follow Archita on Linkedin or check out her website.
