Episode 75 - Emotion at Work in Joy, Justice and Pregnancy Discrimination

Welcome to another episode of The Emotion at Work podcast, this time hosted by Lizzi, our Marketing and Community Manager. Today’s guest is Nicola Hinds, a former senior manager at Mitee. Nicola shares her journey of battling pregnancy discrimination in a high-stakes workplace tribunal—a struggle the media has dubbed as a 'David v. Goliath moment'.

 

After a three-year fight for justice, Nicola created Pregnant Pickle, an organisation that supports women facing similar challenges. In collaboration with local maternity services and the council, she launched a support website to aid pregnant women who are facing discrimination in the workplace.

 

Nicola's story doesn't end there, she demonstrated an extraordinary act of kindness—donating a kidney to a woman she met through Pregnant Pickle.
