From Inside the Hive

In a week where I've been thinking about connections, conversations and the importance they hold, I wanted to share some of my thoughts with you and some tips about how you can think about that too.

How important is it to be selective about who you spend time with? Why can it be exhausting? And what are the benefits of having real conversations?

I recently hosted a workshop where we addressed the question 'Should I Stay or Should I Go?'. It clearly struck a chord as 96 people signed up for it, with more requesting the recording after the event!

In this episode, I share the questions that I shared on the workshop to help you think through whether it's time to stay and fall back in love with your role, or time to move on to the next best thing for you.

Abbey Booth, aka Stories With Clothes, is a personal stylist and body shape expert, but so much more than that she is a pop of inspiration and joy. I am delighted that she agreed to come on the podcast and explore the power of clothes together.
