Episode 8: with The Little Green Spoon, Indy Power

Indy Power/Parsons (who happens to be my sister-in-law) is a food writer and author from Dublin who creates incredibly quick, mouthwatering and simple nutritious recipes. At 26, Indy is an extreme example of modern success having started posting recipes while in college as a hobby and growing an organic and dedicated following, writing her first cookbook her first year out of college, while also getting married to my brother (lol) and basically just being a beaming ray of sunshine always.

Indy's success obviously speaks for itself, but in this podcast myself and Indy have an honest and frank conversation about what working for yourself can really mean, and what people should know if they decide to take that plunge. We also talk through this 'on the grind' trend on social media currently, whether it is authentic and how it makes us feel, something that I have been thinking about for ages but never knew how to express. There's a huge pressure in every job sector it appears with millennials to be 'booked and busy' constantly and it's a weird space to be in.

In every step of this podcast I have gone to Indy for help, and I really want to say thank you to her. It can be so scary putting yourself out there, knowing how to value yourself, and just generally handling the self imposed pressure of going after your passion as a career and Indy has helped me with it all (and will probably continue to forever because I'm a ball of stress). I couldn't have wished for a better extra sister.

Thank you to depop for sponsoring this podcast! My favourite shop this week is @pellucid cute summer casual staples from brands like Realisation Par, Reformation and For Love and Lemons at incredible prices. Sometimes I can find it hard to find second hand or sustainably bought casual dresses because of sizing but this girl has some amazing pieces.
