Her Business & Co

This week I'm talking to Hayley Merrick, Founder of Love Your Cycles.  Hayley is a Natural Health Practitioner and Accredited Fertile Body Therapist. After 10 years in healthcare Hayley started her own business focusing on helping women tune into their cycles.

We talk about how and why she started her business. The importance of having open conversations about periods and education in schools. We also discuss whether the workplace should consider implementing a Period Policy and Hayley gives advice on how to harness the power of our cycles.

"I think it's about finding people who are likeminded in the way they run their business and their passion..."

This week I'm joined by Jen from Etta Loves and this is one jam-packed episode. Jen talks to me about how nursing her baby, Etta, inspired her to create an incredible baby brand with science at its heart.

We talk about her process for talking a product to market as well as the hurdles she had to overcome when launching a retail brand for the first time. We also talk about the power of a supportive community and the frustrations of bigger corporations ripping off small brands.

Owning a business is full of ups and downs, right?! It's refreshing to talk to someone so openly about that particular rollercoaster and this week I sat down with Laura Skilton from Baby Squids.

Despite some pretty big hurdles Laura remains optimistic and positive and the passion she has for her business and her staff is inspiring. Laura shares with us her business journey, what she has learned along the way and things she might have done differently.

We hope you enjoy this episode!

I was super excited to speak to Mia this week. Her jewellery is gorgeous; bright bold colours and funky designs. She is the queen of small-batch handmade accessories and her talent for crafting beautiful creations was recognised by one of the leading creative education sites.

Mia shares her journey from scraping through Uni to running a busy and growing jewellery business after an inquisitive play with resin turned into a passion she never knew she had.
