    Building a community, around the kitchen table

    This is the third episode of the Freelance Mum podcast, in our mini series and run up to International Women’s day. Faye Dicker continues to explore the themes of Inspire & Inclusion, with this weeks guest, Katie Evans from Good Evans Kitchen. Together they continued to discuss this years themes of Inspire and Inclusion, looking at motherhood and business - which are both deeply intertwined for Katie. "For a long time, and it was hard to feel empowered and as a leader, when you're feeling broken because you've had no sleep. I think community for me is always the answer. If you can build community around you, that empowers you. If you can build trust within the community, that empowers you. And if you can build confidence within your community and really lean on, on that, then that builds presence that you can lean into when you don't have it. And I think for me, I learned that you can't do this on your own. And it takes a village to raise a child, and it absolutely does"

    This episode of the Freelance Mum podcast, is the second in a mini-series countdown to International Women’s Day. The themes for IWD this year are #InspireInclusion. So on the FM podcast, we’re looking at ways we can both inspire and create a more inclusive space for women. Faye Dicker, is joined by Jo Millett, from Lean Content. Jo shares her journey, from teaching to stand up comedy, to running her business and how motherhood makes feminism hit home. "I think, a bit of a lag around motherhood, and I felt, for me, when I went into motherhood, being hit full force in the face by the patriarchy, and I skipped through my twenties as a feminist, and when I became a mum, I was like, oh, this is where it kicks in. You know, my husband goes back to work after three weeks and gets a promotion and a slap on the back. Meanwhile, I'm doing breastfeeds through the night. I've got no energy and I'm expected not to work for a year. And when I go back to work, I'm going to get paid less. I'm going to get less respect."

    A More Inclusive World For Women With ADHD

    This episode of the Freelance Mum podcast, is the first in a mini-series countdown to International Women's Day. The themes for IWD this year are #InspireInclusion. So on the FM podcast, we're looking at ways we can both inspire and create a more inclusive space for women. Faye Dicker, is joined by Louise Tayler, from Understanding ADHD. Lou shares her own journey and diagnoses later in life. And how she is on a mission to support others, navigate their world with ADHD. "If it is something that's that keeps niggling you, and you keep coming back to it, do look into it, do take it seriously. Because I know there is an issue, we have an issue with getting diagnosed, and we have an issue with doctors and all of that kind of stuff. But there is actually a huge amount you can do. While you're waiting for a diagnosis, even if that's what you want to do, you can learn a lot about the condition, you can learn a lot about supporting yourself, and you don't need a diagnosis for that."
