Welcome to another episode of The Emotion at Work podcast, this time hosted by Lizzi, our Marketing and Community Manager. Today’s guest is Nicola Hinds, a former senior manager at Mitee. Nicola shares her journey of battling pregnancy discrimination in a high-stakes workplace tribunal—a struggle the media has dubbed as a 'David v. Goliath moment'.
After a three-year fight for justice, Nicola created Pregnant Pickle, an organisation that supports women facing similar challenges. In collaboration with local maternity services and the council, she launched a support website to aid pregnant women who are facing discrimination in the workplace.
Nicola's story doesn't end there, she demonstrated an extraordinary act of kindness—donating a kidney to a woman she met through Pregnant Pickle.
