Want to make new friends, but don’t know where to start?

In this episode, Renu speaks with Ulrika Lilja, co-founder of GoFrendly - a female only app to help women meet likeminded people in their area. Within weeks of launching in the UK, it’s spread to almost every city and town. From ages 20 to 86-years-old, women from all walks of life have found new friendships on the app. Some have even climbed Mount Kilimanjaro and even chosen to live together.

This conversation explores how the app was created, why friendship is so important today and navigating the world of tech as a woman.

Do you ever feel there's a voice holding you back and telling you, you're not capable or good enough? Imposter Syndrome can happen to even the most successful people, but why? Where does it stem from and how can we manage that negative voice? 

This episode follows on from my conversation with Mindset and Confidence Coach: Hattie MacAndrews. She provides an insight into why confidence issues are bigger than ever today, the role of social media has to play in that and what Gremlin Messaging is.

Do you sometimes struggle feeling confident? Do you ever react to things, but are unsure sure why? Have you ever considered mindset coaching?



EPISODE 7 | PART 1

Earlier this year I began my journey with coaching, and to begin with, I was a bit unsure what it would entail. But, after months of work, I can say it's one of the best investments I made. I no longer look to others to make decisions, I know what my values are and ultimately I feel so much more confident. 

In this episode, I sit down with my coach, Hattie MacAndrews to discuss all the questions when it comes to coaching. What is it? How does it work? What's the difference between coaching and therapy? How can you find the right coach?  

Expect an episode leaving you feeling empowered and clued up on how you can gain control of your mindset and feel more confident.
