Hello and welcome. It's Friday 25 July 2025. How is it Friday already?!?
Today's episode is a little different: the first part is me talking frankly and honestly to you about the challenges of establishing a cut flower business with peri-menopause. It has not been easy! I discuss how my debilitating symptoms impacted on me at a time when I needed every bit of brain power to get going, and the far-reaching effects of peri-menopause on every aspect of my life and work. The podcast only happened this year because I finally sought help when I thought my life was falling into a black hole in 2024.
The final part of the episode is my first ever proper Q&A where I answer some great questions that I've received about everything from snips to mosquito repellent to my most/least profitable cut flowers. And here are links to some of the things I talk about today and I hope they're helpful:
