Q1: What prompted you to start your own business?

I was two years from my son starting school and I realised I wanted to be able to fit work around his school hours. I watched my line manager at my 9-5 juggling after-school clubs, holiday clubs and various other...

I treated myself to a night away. A solo business retreat. Sometimes I do it out of necessity to avoid burning out. This trip though is about prevention.

What can be especially hard is when you allow what you...

Have you ever had one of those moments when it feels like now is the time to step up?

That everything feels aligned and that you whole heartedly believe that you can make this work?

Maybe that moment is now, or maybe you'll have that moment after listening to this episode!

It's a hugely exciting...

When I chat to women about their experiences of running a small business, often as a solopreneur, one of the common challenges they face is how incredibly lonely it can be. Especially if they've come from a corporate background where they worked in a team of people.
