Andrea Gilligan: Tenacity, Trolls and the Truth About Success
10 June - 54 minsThis week, broadcaster and journalist Andrea Gilligan joins us for an honest conversation about career, criticism, and courage.
From leaving a secure job for a two-day freelance gig to building a respected presence on national radio, Andrea shares how hard work, timing, and a bit of luck shaped her path.
She opens up about the personal toll of online trolling, and why she no longer says “I don’t mind” just to keep others happy. This episode dives into hard work vs. ‘waiting your turn’, what it’s really like to be a woman in media, and the challenge of finding your voice—even when others try to shut it down.
