TWWork

Having been raised in a brilliantly creative (perhaps even 'alternative') household, by creative parents, Lucy struggled to find her 'thing' as a young adult. The working world didn't seem to offer much for her skills and interests, nor did they seem to want her; which left Lucy feeling incredibly lost and disillusioned, as she explains in the chat.

Thankfully her creative endeavours kept her moving forward and trying new things, including a vintage wedding business. Lucy then embarked on a publishing career, specialising in children's pictures books, and with that a period of massive highs and big lows. Thankfully her wonderful craft shop has kept her sane and stable.

Lucy is brilliantly candid about feeling lost for some pretty large chunks her career; however, she's never given up, and she's never quit.

Please meet Lucy.

In the chat we talk about some of the strange consequences of Jonny's treatment... Farting, burping and unwanted male erections (shhhhh!)... Even unwanted female attention. Some of which are very odd, because it's actually pretty painful.

Because unlike Beth's (Lymphatic drainage) massage, Jonny's is pretty intense; which is needed to unlock and treat muscles that quite frankly, don't want to be treated and unlocked. And he's damn good at it, hence why professional athletes travel to be treated by him.

It was really interesting hearing how Jonny decided to train in Australia, rather than the UK, purely to get a more rounded and holistic learning experience (and of course, catch a bit of sun, sand and sea along the way); and it's a great example of thinking about want your life to look like, and then making it happen.

Please meet Jonny.

You don't specialise in a subject like the Lymphatic system without a keen interest in the human body and human physiology, and Beth has that in abundance. She's had it since a small child, and has been raised to really think about how her body works, and to be mindful of what she puts in it.

Add do that decades of travel and (particularly asian) food and healthcare experience, Beth has become a truly unique therapist.

When Beth practices her lymphatic massage and holistic treatment, her advice and her work comes from a place of great experience, deep care and immense consideration.

... And like she says in the chat, more often than not, you get more advice that you bargained for!

Please meet Beth.

In this inspiring chat, Kirsty talks about how she helps deaf people in lessons, to learn; in interviews, to get jobs; but perhaps most prevalently, in healthcare, to deliver diagnosis, advice, and sometimes, very tragic, terminal news to people. It's beyond humbling.

Kirsty also talks about the nuances of signing, and how body language and different signs are needed to portray tone and meaning... It's NOT just hand gestures. Which makes total sense when you think about it.

... The problem is, not many of us do think about it, and if we do, we certainly don't think about it enough.

Please meet Kirsty.

Despite working in a bank for a short while after graduating, Manisha decided she'd like to become a teacher, and teach her (degree-based) knowledge of business and economic to others.

... So she did, and in doing that, Manisha found her 'thing', her 'people' and her 'tribe'. And from there her career took off, as did her after-hours tutoring.

Nearly 5 years later, her business offers tutoring in most academic subjects, and covers from primary school right through to the first year of degree level.

Please meet Manisha.

Nick's journey into scaling and exiting business started with a need to change what he was doing, and attending a Tony Robbins event on a friend's recommendation. Prior to that he'd had a successful corporate career.

Since 'Tony', Nick's journey has taken him far and wide, and he is now paid mega BIG BUCKS to advise global corporations how to scale and run either start-up investments, existing business, or how to manage businesses to exit and sell.

In this Break Room, which Nick kindly spared the time for Chops (as an old friend), we get as much advice as we can on what to do right, what to look out for, and what to learn from the most, when starting and running a business. And it all really comes back to us... to you!

Please meet Nick.

When we went to Abi (pod 68), we briefly met her partner, George... And before we sat down, Abi casually dropped into conversation that George is a deep sea worker, who professional dives and repairs BIG mega structures underwater for a living.

Woah, woah, woah... George, hold the line, don't go anywhere!

But that's not the only mad thing about George, because before diving, he used to organise (illegal, but were they, really?) raves and make and produce dance/rave music... and earn good money from it.

Great chat from a great chap. Please meet George.

Abi's childhood working and running overseas student farms in Cambridgeshire with her family (niche, right?), meant that she grew up fundamentally interested in people and being around people... and helping people.

And when she left the family business to make a go of things on her own, that experience led her into social care, community care and healing massage.... She still wanted/needed to help people.

Home organising, or rather, professional organising, has the potential to combine all of the skills she used on her family business and in her adult life since: organising people, organising activity, teaching people, and ultimately, helping people. And Abi LOVES it!

Please meet Abi.

Darren and Sarah's enthusiasm for the outdoors, and for physical activity - in the fresh air - is contagious. They live and breath what they do.

Although it's clear that Darren is the driving force behind the business, and some might say (Sarah might say), the driving force behind the madness; you quickly realise how much he relies on Sarah as a voice of reason and as his anchor.

They're a fab couple, on a fab mission, to give normal people a fab experience... Which they do, every single time.

With special thanks to Darren & Sarah and everyone at: https://www.forestfacility.com
