01 Transitioning from a full-time role into consulting with Pauliina Mapatha

Welcome back to Women in Consulting! This season we'll be exploring some of the behind-the-scenes foundations you need to think about when you are setting up as an independent consultant. In this episode,  I'm speaking with Pauliina Mapatha.  Pauliina describes herself as a Finnish, extrovert lovepat, based in South Africa. She is a mum of 2 cross-culture kids and a certified Coach and Nutrition advisor.  She brings 20 years as a development consultant in various fields and understands from personal experience how burnout affects so many in our sector.  In this conversation, we do a deep dive into transitioning from a full-time role into consulting and the stages you may go through the get there. We discuss perimenopause, nutrition, and how change is actually the norm, not the exception. Pauliina shares a useful framework to hook our experiences on as well as key things we can do to ensure we are truly looking after ourselves.
