It’s Episode 23 of Don’t F*ck This Up, and this week, Lauren sits down with marketing and brand strategist and the founder of The Curious Bird, Anjali Lewis. Anjali shares her career journey filled with pivotal moments and invaluable lessons - from fashion, to publishing and editorial, to planting a stake in the ground with her own consultancy.
We discuss what it means to build a career out of necessity, early bosses who saw our potential, and some memorable ‘cut-the-shit’ moments. Anjali reflects on her transformative ‘DFTU moment’, boundlessness vs. boundaries, and the thing a recruiter said that changed her perspective - and career - forever. Considering a move into consulting? We break that down, too. Tune in for actionable advice, navigational wisdom, and a recurring theme of fried chicken.
“I didn’t know what I wanted to do next but I knew how I wanted to feel: I wanted to be less stressed out.” - Anjali Lewis
