More Than This with Deborah Sloan Deborah Sloan

In this episode, I talk about whether you can have it all. The topic of career v motherhood and whether you can successfully do both is a topic that comes up over and over again. I also talk about my ongoing battle with prioritising my time which definitely gets in the way of More Than This and my second career plans. I read a piece called ‘And That’s What Gets Results’ which you can find at https://deborahsloan.substack.com/p/and-thats-what-gets-results. This time, I slip up a bit saying the word children. Again, I ask in this for your thoughts on what I’m sharing so do get in touch if you have any. I also appreciate any encouragement I can get! Or even just let me know you listened. All my contact info is on my website deborahsloan.co.uk.

Again, I ask loads in this for your thoughts so do get in touch if you have any. Or even just let me know you listened. All my contact info is on my website deborahsloan.co.uk.

In this episode, I talk about disappointment and resilience and anger hence not being sure what to call this episode. I read a piece called Lucy In The Sky With Donuts which you can find at https://deborahsloan.substack.com/p/lucy-in-the-sky-with-donuts?. I read it beautifully apart from one blip where I can’t say ‘ranks’.

I also reference another piece called Ella, Girl With A Pearl Earring which you can find at https://deborahsloan.substack.com/p/ella-girl-with-a-pearl-earring-and

Please excuse the slight rustling as pages fall on the floor and I ask loads in this for your thoughts so do get in touch if you have any. All my contact info is on my website deborahsloan.co.uk…

In this episode, I discuss validation with my first guest who is called Russell but in my writing, he is just my husband. Russell works in Kainos. Is he validated by his job or is he validated by being my husband?

I read a piece of writing called Validation Begins At Home. You can find it at deborahsloan.substack.com.

Deborah explains why a podcast called More Than This?
