We’re in the midst of what’s been called The Great Resignation, a time when an unprecedented number of people are leaving jobs they’ve unhappily put up with for years to pursue careers they’ve always wanted.

For as long as broadcaster Indira Naidoo can remember, her two sisters have always been by her side. With only a year between each of them, they were inseparable, almost like triplets.
