Dr Fozia's story is packed full of important dialogue about gender, race and the challenges of corporate career'ing vs motherhood. She sees it as her personal duty to not only give women a stronger voice in the 'science' industry, but most importantly, 'brown' women, a louder voice; because as she says brilliantly 'You can be what you can't see'. And she'll do it, because she's utterly brilliant....

Alessia’s story is not an easy listen, but it’s an important one. In the chat she talks candidly about being groomed at 16 and then going into two very abusive relationships. However, she now runs her own business helping, supporting and promoting a strong dialogue for female survivors of mental, physical and sexual abuse. The fact that Alessia is now doing what she can to turn her journey into a...

Steph is an omnicompetent (great word) Vet, which means she can treat all animals. However, she's an equine (horse) specialist. She also teaches the Veterinary course she took at Nottingham Uni. So she's pretty busy! Either way, Steph really LOVES her job - her vocation - which is why she is so immersed in it, and it's a privilege to hear her talk about it. Truly passionate women are remarkable an...

Not only have the Genever sisters all done amazing 'solo' things and had/have amazing solo careers, but they're on a mission to make their farm - Croft Farm - a beacon/a case study for how farming can work in the decades to come. Decades that will be without Government subsidies for financial propping. In the chat we talk about all things farming; from more traditional farming to more eco 'regen'...

Katy is an energetic, driven, passionate woman. Whether she's designing new custom jewellery (which although completely relevant to her degree bears no link to her career since), travelling to interesting places or cold-water swimming in the UK in winter, there's generally always something interesting happening for and around her. Because she makes stuff happen. Katy (humbly) describes her career...

Welcome to our first 'funny bits' special. A 10min (ish) burst of giggly snippets from our first batch of amazing female guests. In order of appearance (and so you can go and listen to the full pods, if you haven't already): Sally-Anne (Podcast 6) Maria (Podcast 10) Vicki (Podcast 11) Frances (Podcast 12) Gen (Podcast 13) Caroline (Podcast 2) Annabelle (Podcast 14) Lyndsay (Podcast 16) Katie (Podc...

Jen looked to everyone around her as a successful, happy, local business woman, wife and mother; but the truth was really quite different. Which meant in her late 30s she did a full career u-turn and embarked down the unusual path of psychotherapy. In doing so, Jen has changed EVERYTHING for herself. Not only is she now happy - genuinely happy - but she is absolutely thriving in life. Please meet...

Jo is bursting with positivity, drive and a passion for progressive sustainability; and through this she already has quite a 'following' . Brought up by loving, progressive parents, Jo hasn't put any of that nurturing to waste and she's spent her education and her adult life focusing on planet earth and working in ecological and charitable roles that will help to sustain it. And given she's soon t...

It is Natasha's tenacity, bravery, and her innate drive to succeed that has got her to where she is. She put the hours in (to an industry she originally had no intention of being a part of), made sure that she fully understood how the business and industry worked, bottom to top; made sure that she had great relationships throughout the business, before in effect, staging a leadership take-over. Sh...

Sally has channeled all of her innate passion and drive into something utterly positive and utterly remarkable... Nursing. She saves people's lives (and/or at the very least, makes them feel a hell of a lot better), every single day. Every single shift. And not just people, kids. She saves kids. Sally has allowed herself to see horrors that would make the rest of us cry in a corner, in order to be...

Laura's approach and her diligence is absolutely 100% aligned with the TWW values of hard work, commitment to cause, and strong morals. Because Laura could do her job with a lot less effort; thousands of instructors surely do. But she doesn't. She keeps meticulous notes to make sure every lesson is as effective as it can be, and she tailors every lesson plan to the student's unique learning needs....

Clare's story is lovely, because she's lovely. As an NHS Physio (and let's be honest about it), she's sacrificing her own wealth and income to work there as opposed to moving to the private sector, like lots of other physios do. Sincerely no judgement on those that do, but Clare is staying in the NHS because she cares - really cares - about people, and wants to help them to feel better. And becaus...

Fun is 100% at the heart/core of the 'Genever' brand; be that as farmers, or in Katie's case, as a fabulous Pub Landlady. Also at their core is hard work, community and quite simply, care. Care for others, care the for the village, the land, the community. Katie and her family are people that really care beyond themselves and as such they're a huge inspiration to me, and to many others. Please mee...

Lyndsay is incredibly hard working; anyone that's worked with her knows this. But what we didn't realise (until our chat) is the full extent of that work ethic, and certainly not that it started from such a young age. She is a photographer born and bred; it's all she's ever done and all she knows, and that shows in her work. Her creative eye and her attention to detail are second to none and when...

TJ is utterly self-made. In the sense that she has carved out 3 hugely successful horticultural careers from scratch, culminating in her now being an award winning garden designer. Chelsea RHS here we come! She's worked DAMN hard and put 100% of herself into every garden she's ever worked on. Please meet TJ. PS. The audio on this isn't the best, so apologies. Mic issues prevailed (mine not quite w...

Aside of the fact that Annabelle is an AMAZING beauty therapist and has had a very successful 20+ year career as one, in this three-part chat she also opens up, with immense grace and hilarious humour, about her devastating mental health battles. After experiencing (and being medicated for) life-long depression, in her early-to-mid thirties, Annabelle went on to have a nervous breakdown and was ev...

Gen has had an amazing 25+ year PR career jet-setting around the world for famous fashion brands, and in that time, and while amassing an amazing reputation, she has also managed to have 3 kids and fully relocate twice (once to Lisbon!). Impressive on it's own, but perhaps more prevalent to her story, is her tenacity, commitment to hard work and her unshakable self-belief. Please meet Gen. PS. You...

Frances has an idea, she researches it extensively and then she executes it to the very best of her ability (and her abilities are vast and totally bad-ass); and in this chat she graciously talks us through her thought process for each career she's 'bossed'. The key take-outs? You've got to be brave. You've got to believe in yourself. You've got to do your homework. You've got to be prepared to gr...

For a woman to achieve what Vicki has achieved (and for her to have done it so unapologetically/naturally and whilst always being a huge champion of women) is remarkable. Vicki is remarkable. It's the only word we can think of to describe her. She radiates positivity, drive and passion - for life in general - but also for her career, and her story simply had to be told on TWW. Please meet Vicki. *...

Not only has Maria done a variety of jobs: Estate Agent, Ad Sales, Paper-Mill Logistics Manager, Financial Advisor, Bank Branch Manager, Interior Designer, Shop Owner and Beautician - and now Cattery Owner - she has thrown herself into every role she's done with 100% positivity, enthusiasm and commitment to do the very best job she can, and has taken as much joy as she can from every day of every...

We knew Jess was a fierce supporter of working women, and a hard-working (mumma and) woman herself, but we didn't realise why... What drives her to be all of those things and a whole lot more. But now we do, and very shortly, so will you. Please meet Jess. ** Music played under licence from PRS For Music: Licence number: LE-0035665 ** Hosted on Acast.

Mary-Clare is a Consultant Plastic Surgeon... But not like you're imagining... She's an NHS Plastic Surgeon and she specialises in hands... But even more special than that, is that she extra-specialises in children's hands. A gorgeous, positive soul inside and out; a great surgeon and a great mum. Mary-Clare's story had to be told in our first batch. So please meet Mary-Clare. ** Music played unde...
