Own It! 242 | Kerryn Vaughan: Get Off the Bench

Kerryn lives in Australia with her partner but also with donkeys and cows! Aged 50, she got fed up with people pooh poohing her ideas and resolved never to be put off again. She created Magnificent Kids and told the stories of 23 superhero kids which led to One Planet Classrooms.   In The Show Nicola is beginning to hit her stride socially back in Shoreham with a day out with the children, an all-you-can-eat curry with friends, jazz night at the pub with her sisters and poker at the Crabtree Inn. Judith collected another 5* review on Trusted Housesitters, grappled with upcoming daylight savings switches across four continents on four different dates, enjoyed a bumper busy Tuesday and looked after two Labradors for the weekend with worrying consequences, all resolved now.   What’s Fuelled Their Fire? Judith’s enjoyed a conversation with a potential client on her Facebook Page and Nicola’s set up a new podcast about Resilience.   Focus Of The Week Kerryn lives in Australia with her partner but also with donkeys and cows! Aged 50, she got fed up with people pooh poohing her ideas and resolved never to be put off again. She created Magnificent Kids and told the stories of 23 superhero kids which led to One Planet Classrooms. She described this as a failure for a couple of reasons you’ll hear. But then she was asked to talk at an IWD event which led to her creating a project called Girls with Hammers. And then she wrote her second book, Get Off the Bench, which in turn led to workshops about kick-starting your idea. https://girlswithhammers.com.au/ https://getoffthebench.com.au/ https://www.amazon.co.uk/Get-Off-Bench-Kickstart-your/dp/0992427517/   LISTEN HERE TO OWN IT #242 | Kerryn Vaughan: Get Off the Bench   Words Of The Week Nicola chooses Re-Focus and Judith picks Unbelievable.   Project Updates Podcast stats – “we’re back!” – the Money Gym project, and flirting with network marketing again.   Who Or What’s Impressed For a whole five days Nicola resisted Connectio.io and Judith reads the story of the woman who found herself in a search party in Iceland, looking for herself, mainly for Tatjana’s brilliant comment on the end. *** Join our free Facebook Group for Own It! the Podcast and talk back to us about what you hear in the show.
