Wow, where do I start with this one?  It takes a lot of courage to be open and honest about any kind of challenge in your life, but to lead the conversation on a topic that’s hardly ever discussed in order to help others is pretty incredible.  Sarah talks about her return to work after maternity leave, the struggles she faced emotionally and how she found her confidence, her voice and herself again despite it all.  There’s some brilliant online resources mentioned in this episode and they’re linked below:  https://instagram.com/pregnant_then_screwed?utm_medium=copy_link  https://instagram.com/guiltymothersclub?utm_medium=copy_link for the return to work checklist  A huge thank you to Sarah for speaking up on this topic. You really are a superhero wether you believe it or not!

Saying the last 12 months have been challenging for this week's guest, James Krappe, would be an understatement.  Owning any kind of business during Covid has been tough but imagine owning a digital marketing company that purely specialised in hospitality.  James gives us a very real and honest insight into owning a business, how he managed to keep himself and his customer's afloat during Covid and now bouncing back better than ever, tips for anyone with a dream of setting up on their own and what's really caught his attention when recruiting. So if you're considering ditching the 9-5 and building your own empire, or you're currently looking for a job and want some insight into what hiring managers are looking for, this one's for you.

This one is a cracker!  My guest this week is Paul Carolan, Executive Coach and all round amazing guy.  This is his first podcast but after hearing this back, this definitely won't be his last.  An absolute podcast natural, with so many tips on finding what you're passionate about, making that passion happen as a career and generally offering some amazing coaching tips, this one is not to be missed. Previously working in commercial strategy, Paul realised he had a passion for coaching and 4 years ago, made that passion a full time career reality.  Now (in my opinion) one of the best coaches in the industry, Paul offers corporate or 121 coaching and genuinely changes lives. 

In a post covid world, so many options have been opened up to us. Remote working and fewer days in the office means new opportunity in terms of where we live and many of us are considering our options. But there’s a lot to think about and that’s where this week’s guest has you covered. Having moved city 4 times for her different career moves and most latterly to an entirely new country, Laura offers so many pearls of wisdom....not just on relocating but on life!

Wow wee, this weeks episode is a goodie!! I’m joined by an international confidence speaker, award winning author and personal impact expert; Esther Stanhope.

Looking for a job is hard enough but throw in the mix hundreds of people applying for the same jobs and interviewing on Zoom, it’s become a bit of a minefield. This episode is guaranteed to boost your confidence, find ways to stand out and make sure you can ace it on camera.
