Going Virtual with Mari Carmen Fitness

Covid -19 is on everyone's minds at the moment and we are experiencing some devastating times. We are having to change the way we live, work and socialise. We want to continue our conversations with amazing people so we can continue our podcast and speak to you all at home.

I talk to Mum, business owner and nurse Mari -Carmen about how she is changing the way she works at the moment and being able to have the choice to go back to work as a nurse at such a horrible time. Not only is Mari trying to keep her business a float, she is investing time for the community and we thank you for this x

I hope you are all keeping well and safe and we are sending so much love to the NHS and all those key workers doing such an amazing job at the moment.

Flexible Working (for everyone - not just mums)

I had such a nice conversation with Jess Heagren who set up That Works For Me - A platform that connects skilled, experienced people with growing businesses in need of flexible support.

I met Jess at an Enterprise Nation - Festival of females. After meeting Jess on a zoom networking event and so glad I did, she was lovely, inspirational and I could have talked to her all day. I then realised that she was a finalist for female start up of the year, which she later went on to win. I've kept in touch and she very kindly gave up some time in a busy schedule to talk.

A really interesting conversation about flexible working, as a parent or not, in a pandemic or not. Making her way through the start up and where she goes from here.

Thanks Jess for your time and all the best for 2021
