We've both known and worked with Vicki for a long time, so it was great to finally get her on the show. Vicki Head is a photographer and image strategist who helps people stop hiding and start showing up with confidence, She works with those who’ve spent too long feeling invisible or unsure how to step into their own story. Together, they’ll create powerful, purposeful images that reflect the...

Ooh, this episode is an absolute corker!! We hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed recording it! 'Irregular Jenn' was just brilliant to have on the show, so read on for her bio and what we talked about. We reckon you'll find it fascinating! 'Irregular Jenn' Wilson is a performing artist, author, activist, coach, entrepreneur and founder of the International Day of...

Wow, can you believe it's our 100th episode? It feels amazing to have come this far and to all of you that have joined us at any point along this crazy journey, thank you for being here and we hope you're planning on staying - we certainly are! For this celebration episode, we've taken the opportunity to pick some of our favourite guests so far (although we've absolutely loved...

If you spend any amount of time travelling, this have a listen as we reckon this will resonate massively. Both Jenny and Rachel have spent a lot of time 'on the road' lately, so this is a dive in to travelling and the positive and negative things it can bring in to your life. We discuss what we love most about being on the road; driving holidays; packing disasters; achieving balance (or...

How often have you ever been misunderstood when you're trying to communicate something? How often have you misunderstood what someone else is trying to tell you? Communication is so important, but it's really easy for it to be misunderstood and for 'interpretations' of facts to be incorrect, so we wanted to explore this further. Let us know what you think. We talked about how y...

We thought we'd do something a little different for this one - must be something in the air with the fact we're nearly on our 100th episode! Rather than write 3 questions each that are kept a secret until they're asked, we wrote a bunch of different categories on post-it notes, folded them up and then took it in turns to choose one at random, then having to describe what our 'b...

It's time for part 2 of the 'Who Are We?' interviews, this time it's Rachel interviewing Jenny. With our 100th episode fast approaching, we thought it would be great to interview each other to help give more insight in to who we are. Hopefully those of you that are new here will learn plenty about us and those of you who have been here a while might learn something new. Rachel...

We're rapidly approaching our 100th episode (which we're incredibly excited about) so we thought it would be a great time to introduce ourselves to anyone who doesn't know us already, as well as reminding our regular listeners what we're all about as individuals - not just as an awesome twosome who host The Renny Show! So, part 1 is Jenny interviewing Rachel. We still used the...

This was our first time back to recording for about two months, so we were feeling a little 'rusty'. It's also that time of year (September) when many people 're-launch' things after a summer break, whilst hopefully feeling 'rested', 'rejuvenated', 'revitalised' and 'recharged', after hopefully having some 'reset' time over...

If you've never heard of Lisa Newport, strap yourself in. There's a lot to say!

This one's all about leadership. It's a topic close to both of our hearts, in the work we do now and in a lot of the work we've both done in the past. It's relevant to everyone, because leadership is about how we lead ourselves, as well as how we lead others, in whatever scenario we lead in - whether that be the highest level boardrooms, military environments, as a volunteer on...

Friendships can be a really important part of our lives, in both good times and bad, so we thought it would be a great subject for a podcast episode. We talked about how important good friendships have been during difficult times; friendship stories; advice you'd give to your teenage self about friendships; quality over quantity when it comes to friendships; what makes people walk away from f...

Ooh this was another corker of an episode with a really inspiring guest, Sam Teale. Sam Teale is the founder of a fast-growing video production company on a mission to create the most magical, emotive content on the internet. At just 23, he leads a team of 14 creatives (average age of 24) producing standout work across 8 countries and 3 US states. Known for their high-impact storytelling and speed...

Full disclosure, we got a little bit behind with uploading episodes in a timely fashion - you know how it is, life and all that! So, this one was actually done out of sync with our plan, so it would be in time for a specific event on a specific date, namely, the Feel The Heat variety show that Rachel and her daughters are involved in (20-22 Aug 2026), to raise money for Pancreatic Cancer UK. Many...

Wow, this was one heck of a conversation and we loved every moment of it. Lisa Archer is an International Certified and Accredited Life Coach, Certified Grief Educator, Mentor, Inspirational Speaker, and Breast Cancer Survivor. After losing twelve loved ones through death in twenty-two-months, including her niece, her parents, and her twenty-four-year-old son-in-law, Lisa knew if she was going to...

This can mean so many different things to different people, so we hope you enjoy it. We'd love to hear your experiences too, so please share them with us on our socials, which you can find below. So, in this one we talked about the current issue of being a 'LEET' - looking for employment, education or training - and our thoughts on the fact many children are brought up with life exp...

This one is all about the masks us humans often wear, dive in to see what we had to say! We talked about the types of masks people wear and the impact they can have; the mask we use the most often; the 1985 film, Mask, with Cher and Eric Stoltz (an awesome film if you haven't watched it, but have tissues to hand!); favourite parties, including a masked ball, and why they were favourites; time...

We're both big fans of the Wimbledon tennis tournament that takes place in July ever year, so, we wanted to dedicate an episode to it. We talked about loving or hating Wimbledon; playing tennis and what our best stroke is; whether there's a parallel between the seedings in competitive tennis ie the higher the better, and success in business; how we can apply the competitive nature of ten...

If you've been listening to us for a while, you'll know that Jenny is an incredible baker and our Renny Show sessions are powered by cake, as well as buckets of tea! We decided a trifle-themed episode was needed, so here it is. We talked about the need for specific ingredients in a trifle and how that relates to the specific ingredients needed for a successful business. We also talked ab...

In this episode we talk about relationships with time and what it has taught us; being in the wrong place at the wrong time; making best use of being in the wrong time or wrong place; the best inner gifts that can be discovered from being in the wrong place or the wrong time; whether there's ever such a thing as a right time; and a bit about gardening - if seeds are like ideas, what's th...

This episode is for the people-pleasers, or as Jenny refers to herself, the recovering people-pleasers.  We start by talking about a song called "Please Yourself" by Ron Gallo, specifically about the lyrics: "Don't want to be like the asphalt on the street, spend my whole life letting everybody walk over me". We'd love to know what you think about those lyrics too, wh...

In this episode we have a bit of fun on the theme of weather. We talk about that old adage of "how's the weather up there?" and whether it's applied in reverse to people of shorter height; what our perfect weather is; coping with the crazy temperatures lately in the UK; our best weather stories; hugging in the hot weather, and the best clothing purchases we've made for ada...

We had fun with this one and you can find the "hippy hat" pic on our socials (listen in to see where that reference came from). There was also a tshirt-worthy quote from Rachel: "Be your own light!". Watch out for merch and have a listen to see why that phrase means so much.  In this episode we talked about whether or not there's always a silver lining; what silver linings...

This episode is based on the notion that: "strategy matters, but purpose moves people!". We'd love to know what you think about that, so contact us on the details below to let us know your thoughts. We talked about what purpose gets us out of bed in the morning; is our purpose heart or head led; how we help clients find their purpose; when we evolve in business and life does our pur...
