How often have you said 'sorry' to someone this week?

Women tend to use apologies as a way to cushion their actions.
It goes waaaaay back to when women were (and let's be honest - can still be!) penalised for verbalising their opinions, speaking up and speaking out.

Last week it was International Podcast Day!
A shout out to all the podcasters and podcast listeners amongst us!
Launching The Sam + Jo VA Show was a game changer for us in terms of our reach. Why help a small handful of VAs when we can instead empower thousands thanks to recording our...
