Do Not Disturb: The Inside Story

by Simona Deifta · English

Do Not Disturb: The Inside Story is a podcast for women building careers, growing families, and quietly wondering: “How am I supposed to manage it all?” Hosted by Simona Deifta — founder of NOJO and a working mum navigating her own questions — each week features raw, honest conversations with women who aren’t afraid to go deep. We talk about ambition, relationships, sex, money, fertility, burnout, resilience, reinvention — and everything in between. These are the conversations we usually have behind closed doors — but we’re having them out loud, so more of us can feel a little more seen, and a little less alone. 🎙️ New episodes every Wednesday.
