Today I'm lounging with Jodi Heyes, the creator of some rather special worry monsters Worley & Co. Born from some really traumatic personal experiences as a child Jodi has built her business Future Footsteps Coaching off the side of her desk. With the birth of her little pocket rocket Luna during lockdown, Jodi was inspired to write and illustrate her first picture book 'When Worley Gets Brave' and is now a published author. Jodi is a huge part of the Northern Lass Lounge community and I'm sure you are about to find out why.

I have listened to Steven Bartlett's podcast 'Diary of a CEO' for over 2 years now and it has been instrumental in turning around my thinking and my approach to my business and this podcast. When I logged into Twitter yesterday to find Steven had replied to a tweet I posted about us reaching the top 100 podcasts in the UK for Entrepreneurship. Not only that, he said he had listened and in his words 'Well done, you are awesome, just listened'.

Today Im lounging with Kate Buxton psychic medium and manifestation coach. Get ready for me to have my eyes opened at my initial skepticism of the way manifestation can be used in the business world - especially from female entrepreneurs. We also talk about my psychic reading I had from Kate and how a lot of what was said came true. I also want to thank Kate for her raw, open and honest story about how the people closest to her have ridiculed her passion. It is great to see Kate coming out the other side of a really difficult time splitting from her husband (which is why her previous name of Scott has been updated) and I cannot wait to see where this new sense of release will take her.

Its the hottest day on record in British history and tonight I hit another milestones for my children's books. This little mini episode of Lounging with Lasses is another chance to reflect on how the power of the communities I have built on social media have filtered through to my face to face connections and caused ripple effects. Its Tuesday 19th July 2022 and tonight I am co-hosting a very special event at The National Centre for Children's Books at Seven Stories in Newcastle. Come and listen to how this all happened and what I will be sharing with other self published authors.

I've just come back from a short break and yes I also have felt overwhelmed and anxious about all the things I need to sort out in my head. I also get the guilty feelings leading up to a holiday or time away from social media and my business but lasses, this is all completely natural and part of being self employed. Just be you and roll with it! - excuse the Kavos cough
