Welcome to Episode 3 This week my gorgeous guest is Fleur McCrone a personal stylist who runs a thriving business in Kent, UK. We talk all things style, how Fleur made the pivot to setting up her own styling business with 3 young children, feeling the fear and doing it anyway and her incredible journey from college student to tutor, mentor and QVC host in only 3 years. I pick Fleur’s brains on jeans, trainers, capsule wardrobes and the ‘hot’ items to be buying now. We talk all things business, with an emphasis on the getting started bit. I hope you enjoy.

Welcome to Episode 2 Well, what an episode! This week Beth Hammond shares her story. Beth is a wonderful life coach who specialises in women’s confidence, a mum of two girls and quite honestly the most positive person I know, . Beth has had a challenging past 6 months and we discuss the secrets to being, and staying, positive when life is throwing all kinds of crazy at you. A truly uplifting and inspiring person Beth is someone I’m proud to call a good friend. As you may know Beth and I were due to launch a business together in September 2019; The PROPEL Club, this episode should go some way to explaining why those plans were put on ice for now. The idea that we can choose positivity and cultivate a positive outlook is one that deserves our full attention. I really hope you enjoy listening.
