Welcome to the ninth episode of Super Good Juice. This week we speak with Kris McMeans, who in her early 30’s, has what many would describe as quite a squiggly career!

Having fallen under the spell of LOTR behind-the-scenes footage, Kris was determined to pursue a career in film. Having achieved this, and facing the loss of her beloved brother, she packed her bags and relocated her life from Texas to Wellington.

Landing herself a sponsored job, Kris found herself in the world of technology, and nearly six years later, she hasn’t really looked back.

We cover a lot in today’s career conversation, from doing what makes you happy, realising that a more traditional 9-5 work life was a pretty appealing concept, her experience as an immigrant in NZ, finding a pathway in the tech space and a whole heap more.

Mamma mia, and welcome to this, the 8th episode of the Super Good Juice Podcast!  

In this episode, we have succumbed to the requests of our listeners to do an episode on ourselves. We were incredibly nervous, and pressing submit has given me a rash, but we have to step outside of our comfort zones too!

We kick the episode off by answering some questions we received from some of our Instagram friends and then get pretty personal about some of the key people, decisions, challenges, and lessons that have contributed to shaping our respective careers.

We hope you enjoy this episode. 😊

Welcome back to Super Good Juice! In episode 7 we interview Zoe Carson who, for over a decade, has cultivated an impressive career in the advertising industry.

Having studied law and Spanish at uni, her career kicked off with an internship in Dubai, she moved back to Auckland, had a stint in London, and moved back to Auckland in 2019 with a fresh perspective, a completely different role, and her very own personal career BHAG.

There’s another part to Zoe’s story, and it’s a personal one. Zoe was born with a cleft palate and lip; she opens up with us about the health, mental, physical and social challenges she has faced with the condition, and how all of this has influenced or shaped her. Persistent and a natural problem solver, Zoe is now on the board of Cleft NZ to raise awareness and boost advocacy for adults with cleft conditions.

We cover so much in this episode, from luck to grief, first impressions to crises, puppies to toxic work cultures, the importance of looking after your mental health and so much more.

We love today’s episode and especially thank Zoe for her vulnerability and candor.

Thank you for listening in! We love you so much!
