The Afternoon Shift

What if growing in your career wasn’t about pushing harder, but about reconnecting with what actually fuels you?

In this episode of The Afternoon Shift, communications strategist and founder Rekha Sidhu shares her insights from a career spent working at the intersection of global brands and grassroots impact.

We talk about what it really means to do good work without burning out, and why self-trust and alignment are essential for leading with purpose at mid-career.

We also discuss:
  • Rekha’s journey from global PR and creative strategy to purpose-driven entrepreneurship

  • Burnout and agency culture, and what it takes to do it differently

  • How to build teams where people actually want to show up and speak up

  • What it takes to trust yourself during big career shifts

What is The Afternoon Shift?

The Afternoon Shift is a hub for mid-career marketing, media, and creative professionals navigating what’s next.

Hosted by Brady Sadler, this show explores how to thrive, not just survive, during the most pivotal stretch of our careers.

What started with a few small group conversations quickly became something deeper: research, newsletter, events, a growing community, and now these recorded conversations.

We're sitting down with incredible leaders across a wide range of businesses, to dig into personal stories, practical solutions, and the bigger questions shaping our work and our lives right now.

This isn’t just a show. It’s part of a larger effort to turn ideas into collaborations, and connections into meaningful work.

Because we believe career should be more of a team sport.
