Renowned medical educator Professor Ronald Harden joins us on today's episode of We Will Manage for an inspiring conversation to close out our first season. We explore his extraordinary career, the future of student-centred learning, and what keeps him motivated at 88 years old. Prof. Harden shares invaluable insights for students and professionals, including his thoughts on work-life balance, burnout, and mental health in medicine—topics leading into our next season. If you would like to see some of the visuals talked about in this episode, we will be sharing it all over on our Instagram, @wewillmanagepodcast

Tune in for insights, laughter, and honest conversations that will help you build a more open, resilient, and thriving workplace—wherever you are.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: this is our last episode of season 1. We will be starting off strong with season number 2 on the 4th of September. But until then, we aren't abandoning you! We are going to be doing We Will Manage Monday episodes between now and then to make sure you don't miss us too much. See you on Monday!

Welcome to "We will Manage" podcast. Hosted by Alba and Saoirse, two young professionals figuring out the working world — one conversation at a time. With the mission to create an honest work-related community, we dive into the good, the bad and the messy parts of navigating your career. Expect real-life stories, special guests sharing hard-earned lessons, and practical insights on everything from office politics to achieving a healthier work-life balance. “We Will Manage” keeps it authentic and light hearted—reminding you that absolutely no one has it all figured out, not even Bezos.

Alba, branding specialist and business owner, and Saoirse, materials engineer and project manager, grew up together in a small Spanish village and after taking very different career paths as ambitious young professionals, they ended up in similar situations with two very different points of view. When noticing that they often looked to those around them to navigate the complexity of the working world, they decided to create a community for all those that seek an external view on what's normal. Passionate about learning from other's experiences and discussing just about any topic, they are ready to unveil the secrets of the workplace.

So whether you are a young entrepreneur or a senior manager, join the Workplace Collective to laugh, learn and feel a bit less alone.

We unpack powerful frameworks from experts like Frances Frei and Simon Sinek, share eye-opening stats, listener dilemmas, and play some very juicy trust-building games.

Discover the key ingredients of trust, the true costs of distrust, and practical steps you can take—whether you’re leading a team or just starting out. Hear real-world stories of trust broken and rebuilt, learn how to foster trust in remote settings, and explore the impact of self-trust for career confidence.

Tune in for insights, laughter, and honest conversations that will help you build a more open, resilient, and thriving workplace—wherever you are.

In this episode, we get personal. Spirituality, meditation, manifestation — we know, we know, it sounds a bit woo woo. But hear us out.

As we near the end of Season 1 (how?!), we wanted to explore the deeper, more vulnerable side of working life. This isn't about religion or floating off into the clouds — it's about how we manage our minds. We talk about the tools we actually use (or don't), how meditation has shaped our daily habits, and whether manifestation is real or just delusion with extra steps.

We also get into:

- Why horses are the OG mindfulness coaches

- How our childhood fairy rituals and Harry Potter obsession shaped our outlook

- The neuroscience behind meditation (yes, we did research)

This one’s part science and part storytime — and we loved it.
