The Story So Far with Carla

**EXCLUSIVE LISTENER DISCOUNT BELOW**Having recently just ventured into my own pilates journey, it was so interesting to sit down with Tracy and learn more about how she has built her business, and the history behind pilates too. (And yes, it's so much more than matching gym gear and matchas!)It goes without saying that her journey has come with some struggles, and I love how honest she was regarding her life changing surgery, which she underwent just last year. Tracy has an incredible online programme, and she has kindly included a listener discount, using the code JX221E4XPA You can find her here @freshlycentered Or purchase her online class here. Support the showWant to keep up to date with who's to come on future episodes? Find me over on socials by searching @the.honest.mummyIf you have a story to share, have a guest suggestion or want to find out about sponsorship pop me over an email at [email protected] my inbox is always open!

When Megan landed in my inbox asking if she could do my colours for me I was a little shocked, I'm definitely a 'micro' account so to be considered was amazing and of course, I just had to find out the story of how FJÓR Studio began.For anyone thinking of getting their colours done, do it. You know when you get the feeling where you just don't know what's 'you' anymore? Megan gave me that little boost again and made me more excited about looking in my wardrobe. Support the showWant to keep up to date with who's to come on future episodes? Find me over on socials by searching @the.honest.mummyIf you have a story to share, have a guest suggestion or want to find out about sponsorship pop me over an email at [email protected] my inbox is always open!

Sitting down with Kelly was a real eye opener for me personally, we are the same age, and have a daughter the same age too. So hearing how she coped with her cancer diagnosis personally, and navigating through this as a mum at the same time, was really inspiring. Kelly spoke with strength, warmth and perspective, and despite everything she's faced, there's such a calmness around her. You can follow Kelly here, @kellyslymphoma_lessons And remember to check out her podcast too. Support the showWant to keep up to date with who's to come on future episodes? Find me over on socials by searching @the.honest.mummyIf you have a story to share, have a guest suggestion or want to find out about sponsorship pop me over an email at [email protected] my inbox is always open!

I've actually known Charlene for many years(!) and watching her 'ideas' come to life has been inspiring. She maybe doesn't have the typical 'lifestyle' most women in their 40s have. But it certainly hasn't held her back.You can find Charlene located on Queen Street in Peterhead, perhaps you've been feeling a little stuck in your work lately and wondered if there's something else out there for you. Pop in and see her, she'd love the chat!  www.ignitejobs.co.ukSupport the showWant to keep up to date with who's to come on future episodes? Find me over on socials by searching @the.honest.mummyIf you have a story to share, have a guest suggestion or want to find out about sponsorship pop me over an email at [email protected] my inbox is always open!

Hannah and I found each other on social media a while back, and the more I watched, the more I loved seeing how committed she was to raising awareness of SMA. Yet remaining so present where she's needed most, with her boys. In the week prior to this podcast release, Lawson celebrated his first birthday. A milestone that without treatment, he may never have reached. It was a pleasure to sit down with Hannah and of course my extra VIP guest Lawson, and I can't wait to continue to watch him grow in the months ahead. You can follow Hannah on both TikTok and Instagram, @hannahlaidlerxoSupport the showWant to keep up to date with who's to come on future episodes? Find me over on socials by searching @the.honest.mummyIf you have a story to share, have a guest suggestion or want to find out about sponsorship pop me over an email at [email protected] my inbox is always open!

I first came across Lois on Instagram not long after I'd started my own page, she was one of the first content creators I knew of to take on the wedding market, creating @thesocialyouseek and allowing couples to get all those BTS videos from their special day. Fast forward a few years, and her business has evolved. After seeing a gap in the market, and with the help of her Dad, together they've opened @thestudioyouseek which provides a space for content creation for businesses too. I was very lucky to get to record the first episode in the studio, and of course it had to be with the lovely Lois herself. She may be young, but she's focussed with a vision and I can't wait to see how the studio evolves over the next few years. Support the showWant to keep up to date with who's to come on future episodes? Find me over on socials by searching @the.honest.mummyIf you have a story to share, have a guest suggestion or want to find out about sponsorship pop me over an email at [email protected] my inbox is always open!

I recently sat down with the lovely Danielle Polompo to learn about her journey from declaring herself homeless, to hairdressing mentor. Danielle shared her very personal story with me, which she has given full permission for me to share. This is of course a cut down version and it goes without saying that she has been on some journey to get to where she is today. Therapy, self development and a positive mindset, are some of the tools she's used to help create success and I can't wait to see what's to come for her in the future. Danielle's mission is to change some of the attitudes in the hair industry and to encourage fellow hairdressers to know their worth. Since being the little girl who was asked, "are you sure that's what you want to do?" Hairdressing has always been her passion, and she's just getting started. Support the showWant to keep up to date with who's to come on future episodes? Find me over on socials by searching @the.honest.mummyIf you have a story to share, have a guest suggestion or want to find out about sponsorship pop me over an email at [email protected] my inbox is always open!

Once again, as a follower looking in from the outside, I had no idea what Sammy went through go get her businesses to where they are today. Another example of how you never really know what a person has gone through until you sit down and have a conversation with them. Sammy's made a promise to herself to never be in that position again. You can follow her story by searching @s.a.m.m.y.m.a.c and her salons can be found at @heritagesalonsSupport the showWant to keep up to date with who's to come on future episodes? Find me over on socials by searching @the.honest.mummyIf you have a story to share, have a guest suggestion or want to find out about sponsorship pop me over an email at [email protected] my inbox is always open!

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode covers suicide and mental health struggles. If that's something you'd rather not to listen to right now, please feel free to skip and come back when you're ready. I've known Nicola for many years now, and knew when I wanted to launch my own podcast, I'd be asking her to come on as a guest. Luckily she said yes, and we sat in my garden on possibly the hottest day of summer.Nicola is a big character, with a big heart. And although her social feeds consist of inspiring and motivational posts, it goes without saying that she's had her own struggles. Even then, she continued to show up for others, before realising change had to happen. You can find her using @iam_nbfitness to follow along her journey. Here is Nicola's story so far, I hope you enjoy it.Nicola's Book RecommendationsLet Them: Mel RobbinsNever Split the Difference: Chris VossGood Vibes, Good Life: Vex KingAtomic Habits: James ClearRelentless: Tim S GroverSupport the showWant to keep up to date with who's to come on future episodes? Find me over on socials by searching @the.honest.mummyIf you have a story to share, have a guest suggestion or want to find out about sponsorship pop me over an email at [email protected] my inbox is always open!

I've been following Sam and her Brown Sugar journey for quite some time on my social pages and I knew in the early days of this podcast that she'd be someone I'd hope to sit down with some day. Luckily for me, I managed to grab a spot in her calendar and hear her story so far. Sam's social feed features some of the people she has been lucky to work with on her journey so far, but what I noticed most, is that these opportunities haven't taken her away from where she began her empire.  The loyalty she has to her clients is truly special and you can see just how much she appreciates everyone who walks through her door. If you want to follow along her journey search @brownsugarbysammilneSupport the showWant to keep up to date with who's to come on future episodes? Find me over on socials by searching @the.honest.mummyIf you have a story to share, have a guest suggestion or want to find out about sponsorship pop me over an email at [email protected] my inbox is always open!
