	Description:		Takeaways from today's episode: “I was not put on earth to follow your wishes”, you have to help yourself and reach out to good people who can mentor you. Don’t compromise on your dreams. Get mentorship from multiple sources. You should not self-censor, this is a result of socialisation. Don’t be afraid to speak up. Ask for support when you need it and stop trying to be superwoman and negotiate a partnership which works.
