I Love My Job
I remember that feeling when I left university, wondering what I should do for a living. I wasn't drawn to anything in particular at that point (the inspiration came much later) and I wish someone had sat me down and said "take your time, it's a big decision, and don't let money be your only guide." In this podcast, we listen to people who have embarked on a career that means something to them. Not just a job, but a vocation. Some have known all along it was what they wanted to do, and others have changed direction mid-career. What is life like when your job feels like a part of who you are?

Orissa - paediatric physiotherapist
I met Orissa in July when I rode a few stages of the Tour de France (which I talk about in the episode Something a Little Different). Orissa was one of the physios looking after us as cyclists and she did that work to take a quick breather from her full-time job at Great Ormond Street, considered to be the UK’s leading children’s hospital.
Before the interview, I had no idea of the breadth of work that physios do, well beyond sporting injuries. With all that Orissa has achieved, it's hard to believe that she is only 27. She seems to have really found her niche with the work that she does.
