Episode 1: Welcome and Work/Life Clarity
In our first episode, we introduce ourselves and talk about the idea and vision behind the Smart Habits for Translators Podcast.
We are your hosts, Madalena Sánchez Zampaulo and Veronika Demichelis—freelance translators who love our work but also want to have a healthy and happy lifestyle!
Our goal is to have friendly conversations about smart habits and talk about different strategies that will help translators stay focused and organized while finding joy and clarity in their work and personal life. We believe that it’s important to be intentional and gracious with yourself and the stage of life that you’re in, to surround yourself with like-minded and supportive people, and be open about issues we all struggle with. We look forward to having these conversations with you!
