In this emotional and powerful episode, I’m joined by not one, but two incredible women, my mum, Karen (aka the original KG), and Amy, founder of Mooeys Group, who interviews us both.

We dive into the untold story of how my mum built Stepping Stones, a CIC-turned-charity that supported hundreds of vulnerable women through childcare, trauma support, and her iconic “Coffee, Cake & Chat” groups. You’ll hear how she started with just a vision, no experience, and a whole lot of purpose.

We explore the incredible parallels between my mum’s community work and the coaching, retreats, and masterminds I run today, without either of us realising how aligned our journeys were.

If you’re a woman in business, a coach, a mum, or someone who’s passionate about purpose, this one will hit you hard, in the best way.

You’ll hear:

• The story behind “Coffee, Cake & Chat” and its ripple effect

• Why small acts of kindness, like a friendship bag, can change a life

• The raw truth about building something with no roadmap

• How Amy connected all the dots between our stories

• And… yes, we cry. A lot.

If you’ve ever questioned your path or felt alone in your journey, this episode will remind you that you’re more powerful than you think.
