My guest is Nisha Harichandran. Nisha is a business storyteller, caption and content writer. She has 15 years’ experience as a lawyer. Simplifying complex material in a clear and easy to understand way is her superpower. Writing is her passion and she loves to write a variety of pieces for diverse businesses.  She got a fresh start in 2020 when she moved to Cardiff, Wales and decided to pursue writing full time. Her blog, Bohemian Crossing is a book club for her readers, and she set up Bohem Notes with a vision to empower businesses to share their stories.

*Note to listeners* We will be taking a short break from our usual biweekly schedule to enjoy the rest of the summer. The Intentional Career Podcast will be back in the fall of 2021.
