Helen Reynolds ,

Treat yourself!

Just wanted to express my gratitude for this wonderful podcast Nicky. I was listening to episode 114 on a very long journey home from
Yorkshire to West Sussex and was reminded of how important your teachings are to us women in business. Thank you for all you do to help not only keep us sane but also to enjoy our work and home lives more by putting ourselves first from time to time!
Oh and thanks for the shout out! That made me smile. I'm so glad you found your Lauren!

Brilliant Podcast

Everyone needs to listen to this show.

An inspiring listen!

I’d recommend every working mum gives this podcast a listen. It’s so interesting to hear the challenges of being a working mum and reassuring to hear we’re not in it alone. Truly inspirational and I’ve not listened to one yet that I haven’t taken something useful away from.
