How DOES she do it?!

In today's episode, I'm delighted to be joined by Kelly and Gemma, the founders of Songbird Sessions, providers of inspired song and vocal coaching, and so much more!

Esther Bullock started The Goldfinch Kitchen to showcase her talent for creating honest, natural and delicious cakes and patisserie. A former HR professional, Esther started her venture after having her two children, when she turned her passion for baking with natural ingredients into a thriving and successful business. Based in the heart of Surrey, she is renowned for her unique and artistic wedding and celebration cakes, and is a highly commended finalist in the Surrey Life Food & Drinks Awards, a finalise in The Family Network Best New Business Awards, and she has delivered more than three hundred cakes to a wealth of happy recipients!

This conversation has a beautiful energy to it, and it was wonderful to hear Esther's joy and passion flow as she talked about creating delectable cakes for special occasions, and I loved hearing about all the layers of connection that occur in her work.

This business is personal and the unique experience Esther offers is something very special indeed.

Enjoy the show!

Quote from Ruth Oshikanlu

"It has taken a village to raise the mother who can raise her child and grow her business at the same time."

My conversation with Forest school trailblazer Florence Lacroix was a sheer delight, and I just love all she shares, from her raw honesty about the career she stepped away from to the many gems of wisdom that she offers.

She reveals how she left her teaching role to open a beautiful Forest School in Buckinghamshire called Tales and Trails, only to have the pandemic wreak havoc with her newly formed business. Undaunted, she started running 'Mindfulness in Nature' workshops, helping realise the magic that shines when like-minded women get together and allow themselves to be all that they are.

Her latest offering, titled 'Your Path,' goes further still, providing workshops, mindful walks and an online library of guided meditations to listen to on-the-go or at home; all with one purpose in mind, to allow every woman who crosses her path to discover their inner light and shine it on the world.

This episode is gentle, nurturing and I believe exactly what we need right now … enjoy the show.

Mel Hemmings launched Bare + Fair 'zero waste' & refill shop after being inspired by the Zero Waste movement and her own family's attempts at living more sustainably. Mel is passionate about encouraging people to take their next sustainable step, wherever they're at on their journey. In this inspiring and educational conversation that we all need to hear, Mel talks of how her shop really began from the seed of an idea in her home and how her support network meant she could make this goal reality, during a pandemic no less! We talk around where our recycling can actually end up once it's left our roadside collections, how we can start doing our bit by making small changes and Mel also shares the reality of growing a business alongside a family. Enjoy the show!!

Riyaza Rodriguez is the Founder and creative vision behind Rock Paper Roses, a female led family owned online jewellery store. We cover so much in our conversation, including taking a career break after a health diagnosis, how Rock Paper Roses started small with just 4 products in the initial launch and Riyaza's customer base starting from tapping into her local community of friends and family before taking off from there. We talk about how simple styling with jewellery can really boost your confidence as well as transform your outfit, and the importance of finding boundaries with social media in our businesses – down to recognising if an account triggers us and how do deal with it as well as how to monitor and limit our overall phone use. So many ideas shared! Riyaza has also made available a very kind offer of a discount code for ALL of my podcast listeners; simply head on over to https://rockpaperroses.com and enter the code Jo15 at the checkout in order to get 15% off your purchase.

Enjoy the show!!

My guest this week is the sassy and vivacious Susie Hasler, founder of Styled By Susie – a business (and movement!) helping women with their confidence by dressing for their body shape and colour.

Susie's life purpose is to show every woman her true and full potential, and to look and feel good in her clothes without permission from anyone else. Though she's a personal stylist, Susie says that style goes so much further beyond clothing alone.

We get personal in all senses of the word in our conversation; Susie shares wisdom, tips and reassurance as a personal stylist around finding style confidence and she talks with openness and authenticity about herself; not just running her business but in life as well.

I know you're going to love this episode and all the takeaways it offers you, so thanks again for listening, and enjoy the show!

My guest this week is Izi Friend. Izi runs The Piltatiz Tribe – which offers online pilates at home or on the go. Izi created this flexible space to ease any aches and pains and help you achieve a supple body and adaptable mind.

As you listen to our conversation, you'll hear that Izi indeed practices what she preaches and like so many of my guests, it was through her own health challenges that she came to find something that made an incredible difference to her life and so to then train and offer this gift to many others has been a beautiful and rewarding part of her journey.

Izi has been starting her day right for a few years now, and I don't doubt that focussing on that helped her to make a big and brave move during the worldwide pandemic which we talk about.

In this heartfelt and vulnerable conversation, Izi shares so much and offers hints and tips for you all too. Enjoy the show!
