What She Said

Episode correction: Nova Reid did have interest and publishing offers prior to June 2020. This oversight was Frankie's mistake and she would like to apologise to Nova for the error.

Author Frankie Thompson tells me about her journey to self publishing her books and the lessons she's learned about the industry along the way. We also talk about her anti racism journey and how it felt to have the rug pulled from you when global pandemic nixes your travel blogging career.

If you need a dose of career inspiration and as reminder it's never too late to do ANYTHING this is the episode for you.

This week I talk with Ali Buckley, the content creator behind the magical Instagram feed She Made Magic. As ever we discuss motherhood, business and intersectionality.

We talked about:

raising boys to be more than just allies

pivoting to freelance life

juggling work and motherhood

creating courses and sharing knowledge online

I have a whole lot of time for Ali, who is both talented and fiercely human. For me, she really creates content and educates from a place of authenticity and whimsy and i know you'll love listening to her journey.

I fangirl over the amazing Amanda Appiagyei as we chat all things branding, productivity and and ditching the idea there is a blueprint we need to follow to be successful.

Amanda is one of my favourite people on the internet and, in my opinion, is COMPLETELY underrated - those who know her, love her, and those who don't are missing out.

Alongside her web design and branding business she also creates INCREDIBLE https://amandaappiagyei.com/template-shop/ (Trello templates), brand clarity mentoring and a fabulous course helping you to clarify your brand and unmuddle yourself. I'm doing it right now and highly recommend it.

Enjoy! L x
