    Keeping us on track: The 101 on marriage meetings | EP 113
    2024/10/20
    In this episode, we’re switching things up and Louis takes the driving seat as today's podcast host. Together, we break down the concept of "marriage meetings," diving into why we started doing them, what we include in our meetings, and how they’ve helped us stay connected. Whether it’s discussing goals, checking in on each other’s feelings, or making plans for the future, these meetings have become a key part of how we navigate life as a team. We also share practical tips on how to start your own meetings whether that's family ones or relationships ones and share insights from friends who do this too. If you’re curious about a simple but effective way to stay on the same page with your partner, this episode has you covered.

And yes we're getting real about how we fight too. It’s an open conversation about how we've learned to understand each other better, even when we don’t always speak the same language (literally!). We share our dynamics that shape our relationship, sharing both the moments we love and the ones that'll make you cringe.

    Swiping into Love: our journey, the healing and today's world of dating | EP 111
    2024/10/06
    In this episode, Louis Q is back for part 2. We’re sharing the story of how we met (spoiler: no dating apps were involved) and reflecting on some of the healing we both had to do before we had even met. For me it was working through trust issues and for Louis this centred around processing loss. It’s an honest conversation about how those experiences shaped our relationship from the start and how we lean into hard conversation in our relationship today. We also take a look at some of the dating challenges in today’s world, offering our perspective on what it's like to navigate love in 2024. Whether you’re navigating love, loss, or dating apps, this episode is about growth, connection, and how we’ve navigated our journey together, not just the good.

  • Trading Corporate Hustle For Bikini Business w/ Toco Founders | EP 106

    Trading Corporate Hustle For Bikini Business w/ Toco Founders | EP 106
    2024/03/12
    Charlotte and Olivia launched Toco in 2017 after feeling frustrated by the lack of options when it came to finding high-quality, 'cheeky' swimwear in the UK market. Having been spoilt for choice throughout their late teens and early 20s with vibrant, bold and flattering cuts bought in their Mum's home country of Trinidad, they decided to solve their problem and set to designing their first bikini set. After a lucky feature in The Daily Mail, their first collection sold out in 3 months. Lots of hand-written thank you notes and late-night packing sessions later (all whilst moonlighting alongside their full-time jobs as auditors and mums to 5 children between them), the sisters grew the business to a point where they were able to leave their corporate jobs and grow Toco full time. With year-on-year growth doubling and a 40% repeat customer base, what was once a 'cult' brand with a die-hard fan base, Toco is now on track to becoming one of the fastest-growing independent swimwear brands in the UK this year. Whether you're a business owner or not, you're going to leave today's episode with some gems. These co-founders share why it's possible to start a business and how they learnt to shut out the dismissive comments when people can't see your vision. They talk about the importance of putting your energy into the growth-focused tasks in the business, delegating and the lessons they wished they'd learnt sooner. From parenthood to doubling down on your finances, hearing their journey from accountants to business owners is powerful. It's the sisters & co-founders first podcast episode so please show them the love they so truly deserve. In this episode, Charlotte, Olivia and Amira discuss: What the early days of running a business looked like How a quickly drafted press release led to their PR break The way they navigated the negativity around leaving a 'secure' corporate career Where the inspiration for Toco came from Their risk-adverse approach and why your financials are crucial Learning from the challenges within the business The power of delegating your non-growth tasks How to ask out a potential mentor What to expect from the new season of Toco in 2024 Toco's Links: Instagram www.instagram.com/tocoswim Website www.tocoswim.com Follow me: Instagram https://www.instagram.com/the_communicationexpert/ LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/amiramansour/
