Like many of us, do we really know what we want to do or be as teenagers or young adults? This is such an inspiring Episode.  Jo shares with us an insight into her experience and journey in training to be a nurse later in her life.  Her earlier roles were in hospitality, airlines, sales and recruitment - whilst they were great experience, Jo never quite felt she was on the right path or had that sense of fulfilment.  She always felt drawn to nursing and took the plunge to pursue her dream in her late 30s.  Jo is an inspiration to anyone considering to do something new, to take a chance and fulfill that 'calling' that dream we have within us.

This is an incredible and inspiring success story from humble beginnings.  With a captivated audience of 100s of women, I first saw Estelle on the main stage at the Womens in Business Expo Event in Farnborough of 2019.  It wasn't that long ago (a few years before) that Estelle was jobless, penniless and desperately wanting to find a way to work, earn an income and provide for her young boys. She worked many a late night researching and learning about business and along with her siser Leona Burton, they formed a community of like minded individuals through facebook.  It was here that their unexpected and wonderful journey began to now a global network community, with events held all over the world.
