Welcome to our second podcast interview. A few weeks ago, I interviewed Tamsyn Froom and I’m delighted to be sharing our chat with you now.

Tamsyn has been working on a project for us at our house and having heard that she juggles her own business, the family farm, and building projects alongside being a mum, wife and friend. I wanted to know more about how she makes it all work.

Tamsyn shared some great life hacks with me and I loved her answer to my “what one piece of advice would you share with the CWG Community” question - listen to the end for that one!

You can find Tamsyn at www.tamsynfroomarchitecture.com

(PS : Bear with me as there’s a couple of coughs in the soundtrack. I’ve had this pesky persistent cough that’s going round - we managed to edit out the two big coughing fits, but a couple of small coughs remain!)
