Did you know that $460 billion dollars worth of clothes are discarded every year? The carbon footprint of the fashion industry is something that has been well documented in recent years.

Anne Marie Tomchak is using her skills to shine a spotlight on this issue while also promoting mental health and wellbeing through her social enterprise, Share Joy.

A journalist and entrepreneur, her career has taken her from the RTÉ newsroom to the bright lights of London working for the likes of BBC, Mashable and British Vogue where she led their digital content. She is also a regular contributing editor to British Glamour. 

In this episode we discuss:

• The importance of authenticity in the workplace
• How being open to new opportunities has enhanced her career; and
• Why she wants to use her journalistic and digital skills to help others and raise awareness about the issues close to her heart.

I hope you enjoy the episode.
