In episode #35, we discuss the caveats of vulnerability and how to navigate it in the workspace, especially in a corporation like Microsoft, where she works. I ask Vera about her journey in accepting her challenges to living this advocacy, throughout her personal and professional experience from different parts of the world, and how podcasting is used as a way to give back to the community. Her passion for people has led her to 'State of Mind', a podcast in which Vera Siertsema talks to guests about their stories of strength and well-being. Powered by Microsoft, with the main goal to normalize mental health conversations. "Because we all have a story, and every story matters."
