Alice May is a multi-tasking mother with four not-so-small children. She is fortunate enough to be married to (probably) the most patient man on the planet.  They live in, what used to be, a ramshackle old cottage in the country. Her conservatory is always festooned with wet washing and her kitchen full of cake.

Following many years exhibiting as an artist and selling commissioned work, Alice decided that 2016 was the year she would start writing. Inspired by some true-life events and fuelled by some really frantic painting sessions ‘Accidental Damage – Tales from the house that sat down’ simply wouldn’t leave her alone until it was written.

Today's guest is Zelda de Hollander, who runs Studio Shotz Photography, a Boutique photographic studio in Christchurch, Dorset.

Photography has always been a passion of Zelda's. She got her first camera aged 5 and has loved photography ever since. All her pocket money used to go on developing films she’d taken of her life while growing up. 

After A-Levels,  Zelda studied for a (BA) Hons in Commercial Photography at The Arts University at Bournemouth, at the same time working part time at a small photographic studio; Studio Shotz. 

It was then that the owner decided to move on and Zelda made the brave move to take over the business and run the studio herself, straight out of Uni, at only 21 years old (with massive help and support from her parents).

In May 2014, Studio Shotz Photography left it's retail shop, moving to Christchurch to become an appointment only studio space residing in a residential address. This has allowed Zelda to spend more time with her clients and to work much more flexible hours as well as taking on more location work.

3 years on, Studio Shotz is busier than ever! In working from home Zelda now has the work-life balance that she always missed out on whilst being on the high street & is now working with some of the biggest and most well-known companies in the Dorset area. Every day is different; which makes going to work quite exciting!

One of the people Zelda credits with supporting her work is Sam Acton of Domestic Angels, you can listen to Sam's interview on the podcast show here

Today's episode is with Denise Davis of Harmonise your Heart.

Her prior profession to being a Coach was as a primary school teacher. She left teaching when her husband left, as she was disheartened with the way everything had become about ticking boxes and not really doing the best for the children. She was inspired to became a coach for kids (Calm Kids) and a coach for adults (Calm Minds) as the therapies and coaching she had taken, helped her overcome the devastation of her divorce.

 At first when her husband left she was lost and grieving for the future she thought she had, but with the support of coaching she reinvented herself anew. She tried all sorts of new activities such as a free fall sky dive at fifty, flew to Bali to meet friends who were travelling and took her PADI Scuba diving certificate. She subsequently went to Tel Aviv and Amsterdam for trainings, conferences in Phoenix and Colorado and much more…

She now helps clients move forward to an improved relationship or deal with the aftermath of the breakup.
