It's time to talk about a dirty word.

Money!

When it comes to the M word, it's often kept under the hush-hush and a private matter. Well, it's time to ditch the shame and talk about money! On this week's podcast, I spoke to Talia, money coach at T.L.C about all things budgeting, saving, and spending and why those things may not come so easy to you.

Let's put our money where our mouth is this Talk About Money Week.

Sometimes, I come away from recording a podcast episode with a long list of things to do. This was one of those episodes! Molly Scanlan joined me this week to chat about sustainability, our online carbon use and small tweaks we can do to improve our business online in a sustainable way.

Molly Scanlan

Molly builds low carbon, privacy-friendly websites for social enterprises and non-evil small businesses. If your current website no longer fits you, or is a shonky DIY job you're embarrassed to show people, she can sort it out. She used to be a teacher, so everything can be explained as if you're a 6 year old.
