In this week's episode I speak to my brother, Garth, on the different ways in which we have built our businesses despite being from the same background and having the same access to things in our early lives.

We discuss gaining permission, how offline networking has really worked for him and the constant battle between wanting to do whatever the hell you want vs needing to make money.

Garth is a marketing strategist specialising in video production, you can find him here: www.garthdew.com

Zoë is an online business manager, you can find her here: www.zoedew.com

a.k.a The One with F**cking Ben

The episode that literally no one asked for - I sat down with my husband and reluctant star of my Instagram stories Ben (FB) to discuss what it is like working from home together, how to support a partner who is self employed and how to navigate life together when your working lives can be so very different.

You'll also hear our dog Reggie vying for our attention, both mics picked him up and really I just need to take his collar off.

Anyway! I loved sitting down and speaking to Ben properly about our lives and hopefully it will give an insight into how to tackle this situation we find ourselves in as a team

This is Abi's story. Abi is a bonefide influencer with, at last check, over 22k followers on her Instagram account The White Thistle. Although we touch on this in this episode, we speak about so much more, especially the thought that no matter what is happening in your world right now, you have to believe that there is light over that hill.

There is a trigger warning with this episode that we do touch on the topics of rape, abortion and miscarriage, and if any of these topics are ones that you are uncomfortable with, please don't feel a need to listen. I hope you are able to though, as I feel they are important things to talk about, and Abi is a superstar for wanting to share what she has been through. We recorded this a few weeks ago and I am happy to report Abi is indeed mum to two now. But I hope you enjoy, and are able to listen. It is worth it.

You can follow Abi on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/thewhitethistle or http://www.instagram.com/abihugo, and you can follow me http://www.instagram.com/zoerdew. Come and join the conversation, I'd love to know your thoughts

I'm not ashamed of my past, but know that it is a constant battle for me to understand my motivations, triggers and traits in order to show up ethically and authentically every day. In both business and home life.

I wasn't always how I am now. And I own this.
