Angie Cameron - It was our shared experiences of Grief that brought Angie and I together last year, when she spoke, so bloody brilliantly, at our Grief event. Angie is no stranger to grief, has suffered more than most, but all I ever see is warmth, compassion and a bright smile. When I decided to give more space to talks on Co-ercive control, it was Angie I turned to, having heard her speak on thi...

An open, honest and empowering conversation with Journalist, Host and Founder of the very brilliant The Flock, a digital space for women, Jen Crichton. Discussing the pandemic effect on Jen's business pipeline and how it led to the acceleration of her digital dream, we talk too about women's health and in particular the endometriosis and adenomyosis diagnosis that led to Jen's recent hysterectomy....

With calls to divorce lawyers increasing significantly over the last few months, I knew it was time to chat all things Divorce, to help empower those going through it, thinking about it, even those who are in healthy relationships but who want to safeguard their future. Danielle is a Senior Associate at law firm Anderson Strathern, I met her a long time ago and knew that she'd be the perfect perso...

If you think you know all there is to know about lasering then think again! In days gone by lasering was just another means of removing unwanted hair. But in the last 10 years, lasering technology has advanced in more ways than you can imagine, and Amanda has more experience than most. Purchasing her first laser in 1999, Amanda has continued to invest in the most advanced laser technology, and I w...

Great to catch up with Nutritionist Michaella to discuss all things nutrition and to learn more about how our diet can affect anxiety and sleep, two areas that I really wanted to focus on. I love Michaella's scientific yet balanced approach, and this episode is a hugely empowering one as it's a real lesson not just in nutrition, but in hormones and the nervous system too. I have no doubt you'll fi...

Jenyfer Beardsley - Back talking about the F Word! I was blown away by the response when I asked members of the EGG Facebook group how they felt about their savings & pensions and now know that many women, like me, having been putting this stuff off, fearing the unknown, scared about lack of knowledge, the best places to invest, if it's too late to start. It's not! And this episode will go some wa...

Although we've covered the subject of Fertility several times over the past few years, we've never considered what it's like for those women who come to the end of their journey without a child, and if indeed there's any support out there. I stumbled upon the Instagram account @anotherhood_stories a few weeks ago, a space, and place, for Women without Children, set up by Laura and Kadi. So I dropp...

Gill Baird MBA - Gill has an awesome story, it's one that I really love. Expelled from school and leaving with no qualifications, Gill entered the business world early and began hustling. Fiercely ambitious, and with great vision and determination, her story is one of highs and lows - I love that Gill talks so openly about her failures. But there haven't been many of those lately. Gaining an MBA a...

I was delighted to be joined by Jenny Urquhart for this episode, a fan of the brand for a long time I was keen to hear Jenny's story; taking over as Chairman from her father last year, it sure has been a baptism of fire! But Jenny is cool and calm and a great example of the qualities and values that will serve you, your business and your employees, well in a time of crisis. Championing sustainabil...

Dr Laura Williams - An amazing guest, I connected with Laura after she contacted me to tell me about the tragic, and very sudden loss of her husband a couple of years ago. A Clinical Psychologist used to supporting others with traumatic life events, Laura realised that dealing with her own grief was something different entirely. We talk about the ways to cope, the different forms of grief as well...

And by F word I mean Finance! A subject I've wanted to talk about for a long time, but simultaneously too scared to shine a light on something that I have been fearfully neglecting. But it's time to educate myself and empower you, I know I'm not alone when it comes to anxiety over pensions and protections and investments. But it's time to make a start, and I'm delighted to welcome Jen Beardsley wh...

An event we've held live several times in Edinburgh, I was determined to do an on-line event to support all the new and pregnant Mums who were having to go through lockdown, with less emotional and physical support. At a time when you are supposed to be feeling grateful and joyful, it is often the case that this is just not happening. In this event we talk about postnatal depression and anxiety, b...

A conversation that I'd be looking forward to for a long time! Having read a lot about Julie and her journey with the CSC, and having listened to her talk on the first episode of Holly Tucker's brilliant Conversations of Inspiration, I knew that Julie would be a fabulous guest - and she was! Recorded over Zoom during lockdown, Julie was endearing, open, honest and very funny - I warmed to her imme...

So delighted to welcome my pal Danni back to the podcast. I was looking for some light-hearted Glasgow banter, something that could cheer us all up, and Danni delivered just that. Talking with honesty about body image, an update on her journey to single motherhood, she shared a very humorous excerpt from her 21 year old diary - as did I! Turns out we were both anxious, just about different things,...

Delighted to catch up for a chat with Zara - having met her last year we've kept in touch and I've been in awe discovering just the range and breadth of this girls talent. A Glasgow girl who studied Business initially, Zara puts the "multi" into "multi-hyphen" and over the years has been a presenter at STV, a producer on Loose Women, been shortlisted as a New Voice Talent on BBC Radio London, prod...

I have wanted for a while now, to cover the subject of Co-ercive Control and was really grateful when the wonderful Irina McLean came forward, saying she was willing to share her experience, as well as the work she subsequently did for Women's Aid. In this episode we discuss the different ways a relationship can be coercive, the best way to support someone going through it and the support that's a...

I was delighted to record this conversation with Val Sampson, who's a sex and relationship counsellor based in Edinburgh. We talked about sex (obviously!), why men want it more than women right now, and Val gave some great tips on how we can ensure lockdown has a positive impact on our relationships (I was scribbling notes furiously). www.valsampson.co.uk

Debbie Mooney is the Head of Fundraising in Scotland for Marie Curie and I caught up with her a few days ago to get a better insight into how Charities are being affected by COVID-19 and importantly what we can do to help.

So much has changed over the last few weeks, unsure what to say or do for the best, I’ve spent the last couple of weeks trying to get my head together, to stay present and to try formulate the best plan, one that will keep us informed, help those who need it, and most of all, remain positive. We’ll be coming to you regularly, from my dining room, with a huge array of guests. We’ll be sharing happy...

Jo Stewart is the Co-Founder of Stewart Brewing, Edinburgh's original craft beer brewery, I was delighted to catch up with her at The Edinburgh Grand earlier in the year. I've been pals with Jo for a while now but never knew the story behind the business, one she set up with her husband in 2004. Stewart Brewing is in strong growth, trading internationally and enjoying strong relationships with som...

Mollie Hughes is the youngest person to climb both sides of Mount Everest and in January this year, became the youngest woman to ski solo to the South Pole. So when it comes to determination, mental and physical strength, preparation and mindset, not many know it better. Certainly not many at this age. What do you say to yourself when all alone, in Antartica, and battling through 8 days of white o...

In 2012 Darina and her husband Kristian set up their business Ooni by launching the world’s first portable pellet fired pizza oven.

The Ooni family now have over 50 employees, and a with a ne...
