Episode Summary:
What if you could build a meaningful, impactful career without sacrificing your time, your health or your sanity? In this powerful episode, Sarah is joined by Kat Wong, whose career has spanned the BBC, Apple and now her own platform, Oh Yeah, supporting mid-career professionals navigating change.

From hitting the "pips" live on air to leading international teams, Kat shares what decades in high-pressure, time-sensitive roles have taught her about boundaries, leadership and working with intention. This is a must-listen for anyone feeling stretched thin, curious about career pivots or seeking permission to protect their time.
