The sun is high, the ground is warm, and we’re inviting you to take a moment to pause this summer with the Why Women Grow podcast. This season, we’re speaking to women who have boldly ventured beyond what’s expected of them - and made incredible things happen in the process. From writing to floristry, soul music to garden design, our guests have trodden new paths to do things the way they want.

Join me, Alice Vincent, for all-new episodes of the Why Women Grow podcast, with Maggie O’Farrell, Yazmin Lacey, Mary Keen and Cynthia Fan, launching on 23 June. Follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.
