Come join me, Laura Doonin on my Whisky and Commerce podcast where I chat with cool thought-leaders in the digital space. These rockstars are bringing their whole self to business and creating success on their terms.
Topics I cover include; VC funding, female entrepreneurship, working in tech, unlocking potential, becoming more conscious in business, mindset practices - sprinkled with some Scottish humour!
A little about me, I am a Scottish business loving yogi and made a conscious decision many years ago to bring more of myself to my technology career... I now live and work by the philosophy there is no dichotomy between work and life. It’s all just life.
So if you want to learn ways to form deeper levels of connection and hear me give others permission to do the same, subscribe to my Whisky & Commerce podcast, because a wee whisky always helps life go better.

10 minute stillness meditation
In light of the ever-changing global pandemic around COVID-19 the realisation that we have very little control is a hard concept for us business people to grasp. Something that is super important to me is to try and stay grounded and meditation has been so important to doing that. Here is a super simple Resting in Awareness meditation focused on stillness for anyone needing it.
Love and light

Mixing the grain and the grit!
I love listening to these podcasts, not only to Laura’s delicious accent (!) but the rawness and her commitment to hold honest conversations is heard and felt throughout these sessions. Topics and guests are varied and interesting from both discussion themes as well as adhoc thoughts and feelings, which flow freely as the sessions unfold.
