How She Does It

This is the inspirational story of a woman who started life with very little but got to the top through pure hard graft. Tracey Woodward had a difficult childhood and hardly ever went to school. At 14 she couldn't read or write but that never held her back. At 18 an amazing opportunity came along which was the start of an exciting career in the beauty industry.

Tracey talks about how she used her experience to motivate her two children and how the life lessons she learned have helped her in business.

As the boss of Aromatherapy Associates she knows lots about self-care and talks about the daily rituals that support her busy life.

She's a wonderful woman with an amazing story, prepare to be inspired!

What's it like getting up well before the crack of dawn every day to present on breakfast TV and then go home and do all the mad rushing around that's part of being a mum?

Jacquie Beltrao knows this routine very well. The former Olympic gymnast has been working for Sky News for the last 25 years and for the last 20, she's been a mum of three.

It hasn't been easy, Jacquie has fought hard to keep her career on track in a fiercely competitive industry. She's also fought breast cancer which she says has given her the courage to do things she'd never have dreamed of before.

Bringing up teenagers, interviewing sports stars, modelling swimwear and baking cakes are all in a day's work for Jacquie, just don't expect her to do the ironing!

"It's bad enough going for your own smear test, let alone someone else's!" said a friend of mine when I told her I'd been invited to record a smear test for this podcast. But going for your smear is never a bad thing as Athena Lamnisos explains in this episode after she'd kindly invited me along to hers.

Athena is CEO of The Eve Appeal, the UK's Gynaecological Cancer Research Charity. She is passionate about women's gynae health and thinks we should all stop using silly words to describe our intimate body parts.

She's also got a lot to say about living with teenagers - she has four, and talks about managing her career as a working mum.
