How DOES she do it?‪!‬ Jo Ferrone

Today I speak with Kate Eckman, a broadcast journalist, TV personality and author of The Full Spirit Workout: A Ten-Step System to Shed Your Self-Doubt, Strengthen Your Spiritual Core, and Create a Fun and Fulfilling Life.
 
Kate brings her expertise in communications, performance, and mindfulness to her practice as a success coach for business leaders and professional athletes. Passionate about mindfulness practices for both brain and body health, she is also a meditation teacher and course creator for the Insight Timer app.
 
It is important that I let you know that we speak about suicidal thoughts and indeed suicide of loved ones in this episode, and so if this is something you might find triggering, it might be best to skip this one.
 
In this conversation, we cover the importance of talking about our struggles, and Kate shares how she has been thankful for complete turmoil at times in her life, deeming it a gift and a treasure once out the other side. We of course talk about her book and she shares how once you get to a certain level of inner spirit fitness you will see the effects across your life … improved relationships, more creativity, higher level performance to name but a few!
 
For those who have never done a spiritual practice, Kate has a fabulous and achievable starting point for you, so tune in to find out. We cover so much in this deep and meaningful conversation and I know you will take so very much from it …

Enjoy the show!

Today I speak with Ciara Attwell founder of My Fussy Eater & Pick Plates. As well as running two businesses, Ciara is a food writer, photographer and cookbook author too!


Through her own personal experience of fussy eating kids, Ciara gives practical advice on how to overcome picky eating at home and encourage a more varied and healthy diet.

Since launching her website in 2014, Ciara has gone on to help thousands of families with her quick and easy recipes and food ideas for children.


In 2018 Ciara launched her recipe App and also published two cookbooks, both of which have been bestsellers in their categories – her third cookbook hit the shelves at the beginning of 2023.
 
In 2020 Ciara launched Pick Plates, a children’s tableware brand designed to help picky eaters, children with autism or children with sensory food aversions to improve their eating and overall relationship with food.
 
In our conversation Ciara shares her journey from the very beginning which I always find so very fascinating! She offers an insight to so many of the wise moves she made along the way, where she learned her online business skills from and how she did it, whilst parenting a toddler and a new born. There are so many golden nuggets for you to feast on!

Ciara’s business has continued to grow from strength to strength and there is no sign of this go-getter easing up as she continues to develop new ideas, business areas and her team as well.

Enjoy this chance to get inside the head of a bold and fearless business owner who has so much to share!

It was an honour to chat with Ciara and I know you’ll take so much from it too.

Enjoy the show!

Today’s conversation is with Caroline Stafford, founder & creator of The Kitsch Hen. The powerful mission of this beautiful business is to spread kindness and brighten people’s days with hand-stamped biscuits. 
 
As with so many of the business owners I interview, Caroline didn’t ever ‘plan’ to launch a business in biscuits and it was nothing like her previous jobs, rather it evolved directly from her heart, when despite going through a horribly tough time in her own life, she thoughtfully crafted hand-stamped biscuits with messages of love, hope and encouragement for those she knew who were also facing struggles. Of course these biscuits were gratefully received and Caroline realised that if she loved sending them to friends and family in their moments of need, then she surely couldn’t be the only one. And so her business journey began.

Caroline speaks with grace & vulnerability as she shares the tough times she faced during a 10 year long IVF journey; she shares how the business was one of the things that kept her afloat. The Kitsch Hen is something Caroline has nurtured and loved and it gives her true sense of purpose and meaning.
 
We talk around the ups and downs of running a business and how slowing down when you run a business is hard yet so important. We also touch on finding balance (and if it’s even possible!) as well as creating a life that feels good over looking good.
 
Listen on to hear more of Caroline’s story & wisdom and be sure to check out her website too!
 
Enjoy the show!

Today’s conversation is with Sallie King, a former lawyer turned furniture designer who started her own furniture brand Urbansize in 2015. Having grown frustrated at the lack of petite furniture basics when she moved into her flat in Greenwich, Sallie decided to design her own instead, before making the bold move to build herself a new career entirely.  
 
We talk about her sources of inspiration, her determination not to take ‘no’ for an answer, and some of the personal obstacles she has had to navigate throughout the process. Sallie shares so much authenticity and wisdom in such a relatable way, I just know you’ll find it as inspirational as I did!

Today I’m excited to bring you Kendra Alley, a barre instructor and so much more. Kendra’s business, barreALLEY, is a virtual fitness company offering new classes each week that are jam-packed with low-impact, dynamic movements of opposition paired with balance and cardio to promote proper body mechanics, endurance and posture.

In this episode, Kendra explains how fracturing her back as a gymnast in her twenties led to her unexpected discovery of Yoga, which went on to change her life in many wonderful ways. She shares how doing her own thing attracted the interest and intrigue of others which then lead to her friends asking her to teach them, and so a successful and extremely positive business was born.
 
We talk about how consistency is Kendra’s superpower, and about what happened when her passion-fuelled business ‘ran out of fuel’ and what she had to do for herself, her health and her three children too.
 
So much is shared and uncovered; I know you’ll find it fascinating!
