Today I'm lounging with Helen Morrell co-owner of Morrell Financial Management Ltd where she works alongside her husband as a financial advisor and general finance planning legend. Today we chat about how people see money, death and finance as a very taboo subject on social media and the fact she doesn't really need to use facebook or instagram as a marketing tool (oh the envy!).

Helen has had some incredible life experiences and her passion to help others has given her the opportunity to work in many community projects. This passion is why and how she is able to approach her client work in the most understanding and supportive way and is most definitely one of the reasons why her business is seeing a thriving success in the Northeast and is now taking on additional staff to help it grow.

So many conversations, posts, comments, inbox messages about people feeling overwhelmed and anxious about what's going on in their day to day business lives. I have also been speaking quite a lot recently at different events about the HELL I went through on social media a while ago and how I have had to do everything I can to prevent it happening again. It is now a very big part of my life's mission to prevent anyone else going through what I did because of social media and today's minisode is dedicated to helping you even just a little to get back to basics with your planning. Even if you can tick one of these off lasses I promise you will feel a little better.

Today Im lounging with Bea Waters our Canadian lounger and author of Project Human a super exciting young adult sci-fi book series. Bea has had an absolutely fascinating life and still does to be fair! When you hear about all of the amazing things she has done you will be blown away. From writing music scores that were pitched to Spider Man producers and working alongside movie stars like Cori Haim I'm sure this episode is not going to disappoint. Bea is very open and honest about her experiences with childhood bullying which still effects her to this day. But what is so refreshing is how she has turned that dark place around and used it in her writing and creativity and inevitably made ‘the bullies stop the bullying’.

When I worked at the bank I rarely went to the beach, a beach which is a 15 minute walk away. Now that I am self employed I never take our beach and sea front for granted. Seaham beach is a beautiful part of the Northeast coast and today I sat and recorded this episode. Listen to how being self-employed has changed my behaviour and mindset and is having positive benefits on me and my family

I had no clue of the tragedy and the trauma Stacey has to deal with on a daily basis since the loss of her brother at a very young age. Iv always viewed Stacey as the fun bubble lass who came rocking into the lounge from day one with her illustration and design business Funny Bones Creations. Chatting to Stacey about how she has survived such loss and is able to talk about it openly and honestly has opened my eyes to how resilient we can be as humans.

At Funny Bones Creations Stacey creates Northeast inspired artworks and gifts and it was brilliant to hear her exciting new venture with her planned children's book. If you have ever met this lass you will know first hand how she brings fun and energy into every situation & the start of this episode does not disappoint....all Im going to say is be TURKEY HAT ready - she even lounged it up especially!

When I say she owns the word fat I mean it. I really struggled with what language to use in this episode but Claire completely called me out and said 'Well I identify myself as fat and I'm happy with that'. Claire is an absolute advocate of embracing ones body after years of self loathing and hatred for the way she looks. Having spent 10 years as a Slimming World Consultant she walked away after some eye opening experiences deep within the centre of the diet culture world. Today we chat about some of the most ludicrous diet fads and how we have both struggled with our own unhealthy relationships with food.

Claire has a fantastic podcast - The Self Love Initiative where she interviews other inspring women who are on their own self love journeys.
