Today we're joined by Rosie Shilo from Virtually Yours. Rosie's been running her virtual assistant empire for two fucking decades, and we talk about social media turning everything on its head and mental health in the digital hellscape. We also cover off finding your 'why' when you just want to shout 'why the fuck am I doing this?', and dealing with dickheads in the professional world. And Rosie's got some no-bullshit advice on learning from others and setting boundaries, and she shares her secrets to not just surviving, but thriving in business for the long haul.

We're going deep in today's episode. We're talking about managing our mental health while running our businesses and managing life as mums to kids and furkids. We talk about the ways we try (emphasis on TRY) to manage mental health when we work remotely.

September is LipTember, fundraising for women's mental health, and in all of our solo episodes this month are talking about different aspects of it.

This convo was really cathartic for us; hope it helps you, too x

Today's guest is Emma Wright, graphic designer and face of EM Designs.

Look, we're just going to call this early: We LOVE Emma. We love what she shares in this episode about experience in brand marketing and strategy, as well as her thoughts on flexibility, collaboration, and understanding client needs in marketing. We move on to personal growth, the evolution of business practices, and the value of building connections. Emma also reflects on her entrepreneurial inspirations and the balance between professional and personal life.

ChatGPT said that it's an engaging discussion highlighting the unique challenges and rewards of running a woman-led business. Who are we to disagree with the bots?

Content warning: In this episode we reference family violence. If you need to talk to someone, call 1800RESPECT.

In today's episode, we're joined by Kristine Hewitt from the charity Adamus Nexus, aimed at supporting women who have experienced domestic, family, and sexual violence. Kristine shares the challenges and successes of running a charity, which is really similar to how we start our own businesses. It's a really powerful discussion with some laughs along the way (including how 3 of us learned to type on a typewriter the weight of a small car). We hope you enjoy listening.
