I am so pleased to welcome my next guest, Dr Jenny Bailey-Cooper who has come on today to talk all things business and being a mum.
Jenny is an incredible entrepreneur and scientist from Bristol who has developed a revolutionary pharmaceutical start up aiming to make IBS a thing of the past.
Like most of us, she has had to learn to juggle work with her personal life. So we will also be diving into how she juggles being a mum, going through divorce and the family court.
I hope you enjoy, and take inspiration from this episode!

In this mini-episode, we are breaking down Clare's law or DVDS (domestic violence disclosure scheme).
We will discuss how it was started, why, and how you go about requesting information under the 'Clare's Law' act. Lastly, I have been permitted to share a real-life story from a listener who has reached out and shared their experience with requesting a DVDS on someone they were dating, and how getting this potentially saved them from being in a violent relationship.
If you or anyone you know are in immediate danger or are suffering from domestic abuse please call 999.
