TJ is utterly self-made. In the sense that she has carved out 3 hugely successful horticultural careers from scratch, culminating in her now being an award winning garden designer. Chelsea RHS here we come!
She's worked DAMN hard and put 100% of herself into every garden she's ever worked on.
Please meet TJ.
PS. The audio on this isn't the best, so apologies. Mic issues prevailed (mine not quite working properly), plus some other bits, however, we are where we are and we keep moving forward. Thanks for bearing with x

Aside of the fact that Annabelle is an AMAZING beauty therapist and has had a very successful 20+ year career as one, in this three-part chat she also opens up, with immense grace and hilarious humour, about her devastating mental health battles. After experiencing (and being medicated for) life-long depression, in her early-to-mid thirties, Annabelle went on to have a nervous breakdown and was eventually diagnosed with anorexia and autism. Annabelle's is not a story for the faint-hearted, but it is a very important one.
Please meet Annabelle, part three.
PS. As with Gen's pod, this pod was recorded with one mic (after my mic lead issue), so apologies if I sound a bit distant. Likewise, there is some background noice coming from the rest of the salon, so again, apologies.

Gen has had an amazing 25+ year PR career jet-setting around the world for famous fashion brands, and in that time, and while amassing an amazing reputation, she has also managed to have 3 kids and fully relocate twice (once to Lisbon!).
Impressive on it's own, but perhaps more prevalent to her story, is her tenacity, commitment to hard work and her unshakable self-belief.
Please meet Gen.
PS. You may well hear, occasionally, a strange whistling and squeaky trumping sound... It's the wind. The actual, literal wind. Outside my hotel room a pretty bad storm was raging and my windows were getting a bit of battering. Fun, fun.

Frances has an idea, she researches it extensively and then she executes it to the very best of her ability (and her abilities are vast and totally bad-ass); and in this chat she graciously talks us through her thought process for each career she's 'bossed'. The key take-outs?
You've got to be brave.
You've got to believe in yourself.
You've got to do your homework.
You've got to be prepared to graft.
Please meet Frances.

For a woman to achieve what Vicki has achieved (and for her to have done it so unapologetically/naturally and whilst always being a huge champion of women) is remarkable.
Vicki is remarkable. It's the only word we can think of to describe her. She radiates positivity, drive and passion - for life in general - but also for her career, and her story simply had to be told on TWW.
Please meet Vicki.

Not only has Maria done a variety of jobs: Estate Agent, Ad Sales, Paper-Mill Logistics Manager, Financial Advisor, Bank Branch Manager, Interior Designer, Shop Owner and Beautician - and now Cattery Owner - she has thrown herself into every role she's done with 100% positivity, enthusiasm and commitment to do the very best job she can, and has taken as much joy as she can from every day of every role.
Please meet Maria.

We knew Jess was a fierce supporter of working women, and a hard-working (mumma and) woman herself, but we didn't realise why... What drives her to be all of those things and a whole lot more.
But now we do, and very shortly, so will you.
Please meet Jess.

Mary-Clare is a Consultant Plastic Surgeon... But not like you're imagining... She's an NHS Plastic Surgeon and she specialises in hands... But even more special than that, is that she extra-specialises in children's hands.
A gorgeous, positive soul inside and out; a great surgeon and a great mum. Mary-Clare's story had to be told in our first batch.
So please meet Mary-Clare.

TWWork (formerly 'This Woman's Work') is a multi-faceted career resource and content library, that has interview-based podcasts at its core.
TWWork was set-up to tackle two fundamental…
Because fitting into the working world is hard
For lots of us, but especially for (our main/core audience of) women who have made sacrifices for their children/families and when they try to ‘come back’ to work, (too) often find they no longer fit into a career, or indeed a role they once held dear.
But fitting in is a problem that affects not just working mothers… It has never been harder to find, fit into and thrive in the right job, which is madness. But a madness that TWWork wants to help cure.
Because the recruitment system/industry globally is outdated
... and fundamentally restrictive, and it needs a massive shake-up!
Countless talent is going under-utilised, globally, either because it can’t be ‘easily’ or ‘conveniently’ found, or because recruiters only want to look for linear candidates that fit into predetermined boxes.
Or, because more and more AI and tech-based recruitment solutions think they can find the ‘right’ people via data and coding algorithms, which ignore everything special and unique about a person.
This is a human problem and we are going to ‘cure it’ in a human way.
