JOANNA CAREW

I have pledged to post bi-weekly on LinkedIn, and as I am not one to do things by halves I am also jumping in and starting this blog.

If I felt exposed posting on LinkedIn, this is a whole other scale of discomfort, or dare I say, distress! So the obvious question is why publish anything at all?

I started journaling 12 years ago and often have thought about writing publicly to engage with others and exchange ideas, but I have always chickened out in fear of being judged and criticised.

Here, now, I am putting my big girl pants on, because I’ll be ecstatic if sharing my thoughts and experiences can help even one other person. Like most people on this planet I have lived through some tough times – personally and professionally – and it was the advice and experiences of others that got me through. So, now it feels like my turn to pay it forward.

Funniest thing is I have no idea if anybody will even read this! But if you do, I promise you raw, unpolished honesty: my name is Joanna Carew and I’m ready to share my good, my bad, and my ugly.

Will you join my journey?!
