Stop surviving and start thriving. 🙋‍♀️ Hands up if you’re old enough to remember the joy of turning your calculator upside down to see what words you could make? (We loved a ‘376616’. Let us know if you guess it!!!)

And if that’s about as much fun as you’ve ever had with numbers, we’re about to show you how you can fall in love with a financial forecast. 📈 Ok, that might be stretching it a bit far, but our guest on this week’s Sparkle and Thrive Podcast has heaps of advice on growing and scaling a business that’s going to leave you feeling like you’ve won the lottery.

As director of Women in Business at @natwest, Yvonne Greeves has seen a fair few balance sheets in her time, and is here to help you avoid the common financial mistakes women make and point you in the right direction of some financial support. 👍

And, as you’ll hear from our financial empowerment superhero 🦸‍♀️ (that’s @techpixiesjoy if you’re wondering), the key to financial success lies in the mind... Or, more specifically, the two rooms in your brain!

So, off you pop! We’ll see you for a cuppa and a bickie when you emerge. 👉 TechPixies.com/episode92

It’s ok to talk about money. Lisa Johnson @lisajohnsonstrategist had us at Wispa. 🍫 (Give us the heads up on your favourite chocolate bar in the comments.👇👇)

But we have way more in common with this week’s guest on the Sparkle and Thrive podcast than chocolate.

Like TechPixies, Lisa wants to normalise the conversation around money to help as many people as possible achieve financial independence. So she’s not afraid to get a bit of stick for posting about her bank balance because she’s seen the benefits of telling people how she got to some big numbers – something she’s only too happy to share with us.

In this episode, you’ll discover how Lisa went from 30k in debt to running a business with a turnover of 3 million a year (say, what???? 😮). And if you think that’s impressive, wait until you hear how many hours a month she works. 🤯

*Trigger alert: If you are heading to listen to the full episode (and we highly recommend you tune in), please note that Lisa touches on bullying and suicide at the very beginning of her story*

Weekend away? Say what?!?!. I have loved 🥰 sneaking myself to the gorgeous countryside for a weekend business conference (on Zoom but I needed a change of scenery so I booked myself into a hotel).

I am staying at the @falconhotelcastleashby where the service is second to none. There is an energy line that runs through the property and the food and accommodation is exceptional.

I’ve even met up with an incredible online entrepreneur @cathy.hay who has built an amazing membership all around historic dress creation.

My heart and soul have been lifted and I’ve had some wonderful breathing space.

A few weeks ago, on the Joy Book Club, @britafs and I challenged women to take time away from their families if they could. Asking their partners or their friends to look after their children so they could get some time out.

I know it is a HUGE ask, but ladies... the rewards too are huge. If you took me up on the challenge, let me know in the comments AND if you didn’t take me up on the challenge... I want to encourage you to take me up on it now and tell me when you will do it!! ⬇️

Remember... it can be selfish to be selfless (all the time!). Sometimes, we need to be reminded that to fill up other people’s cups, we need to refill our own.
