Welcome to In My Previous Life with Jen Wakefield, the new podcast series where Jen sits down with a special guest who had a completely different job or profession before cracking it in a creative or purpose-led job role.

🎙️ In this episode, Jen Wakefield (@jendubble) is joined by the wonderful Chitra Soundar to discuss about her career from being a computer educator and working in an investment back to becoming a full-time children's author, storyteller and children's TV creator and screenwriter.

🏦 Chitra talks about how her work ethic from her corporate life has carried over to her work as an author, the reality of celebrating your creative pursuits when you're still in the office, and the power of networking.

💡We also reflect on how she will always strive for more, even if it means throwing out the rules and creating your own.

🎥 Chitra Soundar is writer, author, storyteller. Her new animated series 'Nikhil & Jay' for CBeebies produced by King Banana TV will be out later this year. To find out more about Chitra, head to her website: https://www.chitrasoundar.com/
