Welcome to Episode 5 of Business Blethers. This one is with Izzy Cunningham. Izzy runs Scribe and Grow, a craft business in the Isle of Skye, specialising in plantable greetings cards and candles with seeds where the container becomes a plant pot. She’s been stocked in John Lewis, as well as being found businesses throughout Scotland.

I know Izzy very well. I am both her accountant and friend. It makes this blether all the more special, and it means we can talk openly and frankly about motherhood, mental health and fulfilment. I’m very grateful to Izzy for speaking to me, and for telling me about the struggles that led her to seek a change in her life. We also talk about scaling a business, letting go of control, employing staff, finding confidence, and leaving behind the unhealthy work culture of a career in fashion in London.

This is actually the first blether I recorded, way back in November 2023 when I had the idea for the podcast, even though you guys are just hearing it now.
