Episode 5; Building resilience to fight back
Grief and loss have the power to consume us all, but we have a choice. A choice to build our resilience and strength to fight back, and to carry on, even during immense pain. I'm sure we've all had times where you just want to give up and curl in a ball, and those days are okay too, as long as we don't let them consume us and become the majority of our days.
Join me as I talk to the incredible individual and business owner that is Amy, owner of Bee Natural Wax Melts. Who in 2023 suffered the tragic loss of her mum, Ruth, who co-owned and built the business with Amy. I'm honoured to be trusted with this heart felt conversation and there is certainly something empowering for everyone touched by grief in this conversation.
Episode 4; Community over competition
Do you often feel a little lonely out there on your own? Whether you're a Solopreneur or have a niche/super important job title that makes it hard for others to relate, we get it! You need an ally.
So pop on your kettle, make yourself a brew and listen to Georgina Little Photography and I about why we prioritise community over competition, and how it can help YOU.
Episode 3; Keeping your inner imposter in check
Ever felt like you’re a fraud? Feeling like you’re just ‘faking it until you make it’, whether that be as a mum, in business, in your career, or in absolutely any area of your life for that matter? Well, you’re not alone. Imposter syndrome is a real thing and can you believe it, it’s more common in women!
Join me as I talk with Nicola Raven, Social Media Manager & Mentor, where we dive right into this topic.
Episode 2; Empowerment isn’t just for adults
Sometimes we get so stuck into talking about being empowered and ensuring that as adults we’re fuelled up and ready to go for our careers, that we forget about the generation that are most adaptable to change and who’s minds are most influential - children!
Join in on the conversation I’m having with Assistant Principal Katie Smith about how we can inspire and set up the younger generation for success!
Episode 1; Reinvention is the new normal
Who says that you have to reach a specific life goal by XYZ age? Or why you cannot change your career at ANY AGE? Or even has a say on what your life looks like?
YOU. Only you, so let us help you channel out the noise and start focussing on what YOU want out of life.
In my Episode 1 guest’s words, Victoria Mayo from Inspire Me PR - ‘Let us be lead by the power of inspiration’.
