Shivonne Graham is the Director of Fundraising, Marketing and Communication at Women for Women International. In this episode we talk about the great work that Women for Women International do to support women in countries that are affected by conflict.

We also discuss the lessons we all can learn from these incredible women and how while we may come from very different social and geographical backgrounds, we have more in common that that which divides us.

I hope that you enjoy listening to this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it. Women for Women is an incredible charity but over and above that Shivonne is a truly inspirational lady, who without a doubt is living her own version of a good life well lived.  

I'll hold my hands up and admit that I am a recovering Busy Bee. Up until a couple of years ago I wore busy as a badge of honour and was the master of keeping all of the plates spinning, all of the time.

But I realised that my busyness was not making me happy. I wasn't prioritising the things that were important to me and that ticking things off the 'to do list' was utterly futile because there would just be more and more 'to dos' that would come along to get done.

I am all for encouraging people to live a rich and varied life, spending time with the people that matter and doing things that are important but that doesn't mean that you need to be constantly busy, stressed and overwhelmed.

In this week’s episode of The Good Life Well Lived podcast I share some advice and tips on how you can stop feeling busy all the time.
