Welcome to "We will Manage" podcast. Hosted by Alba and Saoirse, two young professionals figuring out the working world — one conversation at a time. With the mission to create an honest work-related community, we dive into the good, the bad and the messy parts of navigating your career. Expect real-life stories, special guests sharing hard-earned lessons, and practical insights on everything from office politics to achieving a healthier work-life balance. “We Will Manage” keeps it authentic and light hearted—reminding you that absolutely no one has it all figured out, not even Bezos.
Alba, branding specialist and business owner, and Saoirse, materials engineer and project manager, grew up together in a small Spanish village and after taking very different career paths as ambitious young professionals, they ended up in similar situations with two very different points of view. When noticing that they often looked to those around them to navigate the complexity of the working world, they decided to create a community for all those that seek an external view on what's normal. Passionate about learning from other's experiences and discussing just about any topic, they are ready to unveil the secrets of the workplace.
So whether you are a young entrepreneur or a senior manager, join the Workplace Collective to laugh, learn and feel a bit less alone.
