In the Middle with Rebecca

Rebecca•www.instagram.com

A collection of kōrero with pals. Let's drop in in the middle of each person's story so far and wānanga how work, life, and everything in between fit together. 'Cause let's be honest, no one has it all together even if it might look like it from the outside. So, let's go talk to the humans behind the IG feeds as they (and we all) figure it out! Come with me and sit in on conversations with people across different industries, ways of working, and perspectives. It's going to be so fun ✨ Come find us on Instagram @inthemiddlewithrebecca x
