TWWorkChat 85: Cara: A brilliant (mega corp) Graphic Recorder and IllustratorLike most of our guests on TWWork, Cara went around the houses to land where she is, and to carve out the truly unique career that she has... A career that has seen her regularly deployed at the offices of, and/or in the presence of big tech players like Google and Microsoft, and big retail players like John Lewis.She's been flown around the world and been put up in amazing hotels, in order to observe meetings where the future of it all is discussed.And as Chops jokes about in the...

TWWorkTWWork Special 5: 2025 Easter Mash-upLike our previous mash-ups, this is where we showcase a whole load of gems and snippets from the podcasts (so far) this year.If you're new to TWWork, then our mash-ups are a brilliant 'gateway drug' ;-) into what we do and what we're trying to achieve. Which is to give helpful, inspirational career advice to anyone that needs it.The snippets, in order (as they appear), are from the following pods:Beth, Lymphatic Therapist, Podcast 72Beth, Lymphatic Therapist, Podcast 72Jonny, Sports Therapist, Podcast 73Jonny, Sports Therapist, Podcast 73Jonny...

TWWorkChat 82: Heather: A brilliant, highly entrepreneurial event creator, producer & director...Heather has been working in and on events for over 25-years, and has coordinated hardcore activity for the likes of MEGA rock bands and the Olympic games... Yep, she's hardcore bad-ass.There's not a lot Heather hasn't seen, done and worked on in the events field, which is why although still a 'hired gun' consultant for big, global events, Heather now creates her own events, and she uses her vast experience and her contacts to bring her event ideas to fruition... And then she sells them on to other people/companies.Please meet...

TWWorkChat 81: Rose: A super-passionate, female-focussed NutritionistPeriods, female cycles and female hormone shifts are HUGE subjects that affects girls and women of all ages, and yet it is something that STILL barely gets any airtime. Women (and girls) are still required to just put up, shut up, and suffer in silence.Rose firmly believes in food as medicine, and particularly, food as a super-power to support women throughout their monthly cycle, and indeed throughout their aging cycle. She also believes women's cycles can tell us so many amazing things about ourselves, if we listen to them; and if we reframe them to...

TWWorkChat 80: Natasha: A bad-ass mechanic and 'car parts' business ownerNot only does Natasha work at an all-female garage, as a mechanic, but she also owns and runs her own car-parts business, and is a specialist at knowing and sourcing car nuts and bolts... Which are notoriously hard to source - correctly at least. In the chat Natasha talks about how countless mechanics and garages buy and attempt to fit certain bolts, only to realise they don't fit and won't work, and then have to order some more, all while your car sits there waiting to be fixed.Natasha's story is awesome. She's a drop-dead gorgeous...

TWWorkChat 79: Rachel: A highly experienced, transformational make-up artistRachel was always really creative and she always loved the creativity surrounding make-up in particular; the transformations that can come from doing make-up well, and the joy the (before and) 'after' can bring to someone, particularly women. ... And particularly Chops, who used Rachel for her TWWork relaunch shoot back in October, and who couldn't believe (in a good way!) what Rachel did to her face?!But as Rachel says in the chat, she doesn't change anyone's face, she simply enhances it and highlights what's already there. Which is empowering in such a unique...

TWWorkChat 78: Kim: A highly experienced stockbroker and holistic wealth manager...Generational perceptions and prejudices surrounding money; generational expectations and societal norms passed down; and perhaps most importantly, how these thinks fundamentally shape us, our view of the world, and our career paths... Are all covered and brilliantly articulated in Kim's pod.Kim openly discusses the odd (even negative) relationship she had with money as a young working person, despite the exposure she went on to have with 'wealth' and indeed the daily interactions she had with people who 'have money'.Years later, Kim's unique approach to wealth management combines all of her extensive...

TWWorkChat 77: Annabel: An employment lawyer who's now a dating matchmakerIn this chat we discuss how on earth Annabel had got into the (potential) minefield that is 'matchmaking'; plus how she's tackling what is, a global 'dating' and 'matching' problem right now.... The lack of coupling (and sheer volume of sexless people) is a hot topic in some scientific circles, and even some governmental circles.Annabel got into this world, because over the past 15-years (since her divorce) she's tried every form of dating herself; and even though she can't seem to find her Mr Right; Annabel realised how passionate she was/is...

TWWorkChat 76: Jordan: An award winning HR Consultant and Chief People OfficerJordan and TWWork are on the same course/the same path in terms of wanting to help people in work, and giving power back to people; we're simply tackling it in different ways. Which is great, because there is no 'one solution' to the global problem we've got... The problem of just how many people are fundamentally unhappy with work, and unhappy in their jobs.So of course we're going to get Jordan involved in TWWork in some way, the universe has set it up thus; however, right now he's on his own start-up journey, which...

To attempt a discussion about a bigger picture that's affecting us all... And yes, done in an alternative, 'woo-woo' kind of way ;-)We know lots of people won't like this Break Room chat, and that's totally ok. Truly.... Perhaps they can't feel the energetic shift going on. Perhaps they're not looking at everything in the news and questioning it at a deeper level. Or if they can/do, perhaps they're choosing to ignore how they really feel about it; which is absolutely...

And yes, the glamorous side of media production, will no doubt be fascinating to lot of you. Although, as Gemma mentions, it's FAR LESS glamorous than people think.However, getting 'into' media production, or any similar 'behind the scenes' role in media, has always been, and still seems to remain to be, a big mystery. But as Gemma says, it doesn't need to be; and in the chat she offers up some great advice for what people...

TWWorkChat 74: Lucy: A LOVELY arts and crafts shop owner, AND a children's picture book authorHaving been raised in a brilliantly creative (perhaps even 'alternative') household, by creative parents, Lucy struggled to find her 'thing' as a young adult. The working world didn't seem to offer much for her skills and interests, nor did they seem to want her; which left Lucy feeling incredibly lost and disillusioned, as she explains in the chat.Thankfully her creative endeavours kept her moving forward and trying new things, including a vintage wedding business. Lucy then embarked on a publishing career, specialising in children's pictures books, and with that a period of massive highs and...

TWWorkChat 73: Jonny: A sports (massage) therapist, with a Body Building specialtyIn the chat we talk about some of the strange consequences of Jonny's treatment... Farting, burping and unwanted male erections (shhhhh!)... Even unwanted female attention. Some of which are very odd, because it's actually pretty painful.Because unlike Beth's (Lymphatic drainage) massage, Jonny's is pretty intense; which is needed to unlock and treat muscles that quite frankly, don't want to be treated and unlocked. And he's damn good at it, hence why professional athletes travel to be treated by him.It was really interesting hearing how Jonny decided to train in Australia, rather...

TWWorkChat 72: Beth: A truly holistic Lymphatic (and gut) specialist and therapistYou don't specialise in a subject like the Lymphatic system without a keen interest in the human body and human physiology, and Beth has that in abundance. She's had it since a small child, and has been raised to really think about how her body works, and to be mindful of what she puts in it.Add do that decades of travel and (particularly asian) food and healthcare experience, Beth has become a truly unique therapist.When Beth practices her lymphatic massage and holistic treatment, her advice and her work comes from a...

TWWorkChat 71: Kirsty: A brilliant sign language interpreter and deaf awareness campaigner...In this inspiring chat, Kirsty talks about how she helps deaf people in lessons, to learn; in interviews, to get jobs; but perhaps most prevalently, in healthcare, to deliver diagnosis, advice, and sometimes, very tragic, terminal news to people. It's beyond humbling.Kirsty also talks about the nuances of signing, and how body language and different signs are needed to portray tone and meaning... It's NOT just hand gestures. Which makes total sense when you think about it.... The problem is, not many of us do think about it, and if we do...

TWWorkChat 70: Manisha: A business and economics teacher, and online tutoring business owner...Despite working in a bank for a short while after graduating, Manisha decided she'd like to become a teacher, and teach her (degree-based) knowledge of business and economic to others.... So she did, and in doing that, Manisha found her 'thing', her 'people' and her 'tribe'. And from there her career took off, as did her after-hours tutoring.Nearly 5 years later, her business offers tutoring in most academic subjects, and covers from primary school right through to the first year of degree level.Please meet Manisha...

TWWorkBreak Room 7: Nick & Chops: How to be successful in business (and the common mistakes people make)Nick's journey into scaling and exiting business started with a need to change what he was doing, and attending a Tony Robbins event on a friend's recommendation. Prior to that he'd had a successful corporate career.Since 'Tony', Nick's journey has taken him far and wide, and he is now paid mega BIG BUCKS to advise global corporations how to scale and run either start-up investments, existing business, or how to manage businesses to exit and sell.In this Break Room, which Nick kindly spared the time for Chops (as an old friend...

TWWorkChat 69: George: A hardcore deep-sea diver and engineer... Oh and a DJ!When we went to Abi (pod 68), we briefly met her partner, George... And before we sat down, Abi casually dropped into conversation that George is a deep sea worker, who professional dives and repairs BIG mega structures underwater for a living.Woah, woah, woah... George, hold the line, don't go anywhere!But that's not the only mad thing about George, because before diving, he used to organise (illegal, but were they, really?) raves and make and produce dance/rave music... and earn good money from it.Great chat from a...

TWWorkChat 68: Abi: A super caring, people-centric professional organiser, with an unusual back storyAbi's childhood working and running overseas student farms in Cambridgeshire with her family (niche, right?), meant that she grew up fundamentally interested in people and being around people... and helping people.And when she left the family business to make a go of things on her own, that experience led her into social care, community care and healing massage.... She still wanted/needed to help people.Home organising, or rather, professional organising, has the potential to combine all of the skills she used on her family business and in her adult life since...

They live and breath what they do.Although it's clear that Darren is the driving force behind the business, and some might say (Sarah might say), the driving force behind the madness; you quickly realise how much he relies on Sarah as a voice of reason and as his anchor.They're a fab couple, on a fab mission, to give normal people a fab experience... Which they do, every single time....

TWWorkBreak Room 6: Jim, Janet & Chops: Working life 'back when we were young'...Even though Chops firmly believes Jim & Janet are the best neighbours ever, it's still a bit odd having them on TWWork as podcast guests... Not least because they're retired and long out of the daily grind of working life - right?Wrong. They know a lot! About life and working life, and even though they're retired, they still have business relationships at play, and are still hugely aware of what's going on in the world. They are well-educated, smart, open-minded people, who have a sincere interest in the world and their community. And their take on...

TWWorkChat number 65: Katie: A brilliantly self-taught - and highly sought after - event catererJudging by the smells in Katie's home kitchen when we podded her, it's no wonder Katie is so busy with her catering business.A catering business which to this day makes her family laugh, because as a child, and a young teen, Katie had no interest in food or cooking. Her parents also aren't caterers, so this whole career path came out of the blue.... Although not entirely. Katie talks about being creative as a child, particularly with textiles, and so whether she realised it or not, she was always going to end...

TWWorkChat number: 64: Kerry: A truly unique, quirky & progressive furniture upholstererKerry's products and her approach are highly sought after. They're beautifully unique and beautifully executed... Hence why she ships them all over the world.She refused to follow the traditional 'upholstering' path - despite being advised by MANY people to do that - and instead she's carved out her own path, and stayed true to it. And it's now paying dividends, because as well as custom upholstery, she's getting asked for collaborations and home styling advice... and much more.As Kerry says in the chat, she's worked hard to create a 'brand', and...

It was a real privilege to spend a couple of hours with them, and as Chops said to them afterwards, she felt like a better person for just spending those two hours with them... That's how impactful they are.Their coffee business is also brilliant, to the extent that they've outgrown their current premises. What started out as just the two of them, is now seven of them, all...

TWWorkChat number 62: Simon: A brilliant 25+ year Hairdresser and the first man on TWW...orkKnowing the first pod as TWWork needed to be 'different', it didn't take Chops's brain long to think of Simon; because she has always wanted to pod him. She just didn't know how or when.It's the reason a year down the line she hadn't (yet) podded a female hairdresser, despite LOTS of recommendations and requests for female hairdressers to be podded.Simon's story is brilliant, irrelevant of the rebrand. He's a work-hard-play-hard talented hairdresser with nearly 30 years of experience. He's also a proud, but reserved gay man, and he talks through his...

About childhood influences, terrible school career advice, sibling influences; how significant motherhood demands affect career prospects, and about completely re-starting your career in your 40s.... And that's before we've even got to the world of Herbalism and the role it can play in all of our lives, but particularly the complimentary role it can play alongside conventional medicine; which is something Jody is HUGELY passionate about, along with debunking silly myths and stigmas.Please meet Jody.

She's combining her deep love and passion for music with her work and career, and she is literally glowing from it.And it's all come at exactly the right time for her, because even though she's got a long way to go before she's 'in demand' writing for NME and Rolling Stone, she's now mature and wise enough to know what she needs to do/what she needs to work on to get better, and...

From struggling at school, to her mum becoming terminally ill, and then having her own fertility struggles in her 30s... It's been a lot.So it's perhaps no surprise that Katie has looked for answers beyond the conventional, and that she's drawn to 'heal' at a root cause level.In this chat we cover off reflexology for (peri)menopause, for fertility, and indeed what it can do to lower stress and anxiety, which in turn means lowering cortisol levels; and if you're on social media...

However, she's also vulnerable and aware of how much she (over) works.... Because she does work hard. Yes she has a great team of instructors, and a fab family (and dad) that support her, but The Pole Room is her business and the hard work and the risk are hers alone.Ally's studio is amazing, and if you check out her socials, you'll find lots of content proudly shared by her students.

Because young people are smart and they play the progression game way better than older generations ever have.The ladies also chat AI, part-time vs...

TWWorkChat number 57: Helen: A brave Art Dealer and Gallery Owner, disrupting the Art industryEven though Helen did an Art History degree when she was younger, it wasn't what she went on to pursue as a career. Why? Lots of reasons, but the main one being that she simply didn't think she could, either due to societal perceptions, and/or financial restrictions... It wasn't a job she thought someone like her could do back then.But now that she's in her 40s and has bossed a successful marketing career for nearly 20-years, it's a different ball-game. That youthful fear has been replaced by an innate belief in her own ability.

Because it's so utterly unique. There's no world in which - prior to this pod, perhaps - you'd leave college and go: 'Right, I'm going to become a paper-flower artist and make money that way'.And yet you can.Meg is.And she LOVES it!Please meet Meg.

Yes it means a squiggly career/life journey (as we see with lots of our TWW pods), but it's an evolving journey with one firm goal: To find true happiness and peace in whatever she does.So when we tell you that alongside her very 'straight' property business, she's also a...

A passion she had as a young 16-year-old (if not younger), but somehow got distracted from.... A distraction that has seen her do some mad jobs/roles along the way, whilst having and raising two amazing daughters near enough on her own.Thankfully the years between then and now have not gone to waste, and she's now combining her dress-making passion with...

She left big pharma and re-trained became a teacher so that she could have matching holidays with her children, and (as she thought beforehand), similar working/school hours to them.But what she didn't factor in, was her own fundamental ambition, coupled with her innate need to go that extra mile; which in the end meant she worked even crazier hours teaching...

But in addition, 4-years ago she scratched an itch she'd had for a long time, and went to teach abroad. Moved her whole family to Thailand!And when we say teach, she did teach, and was a Head of department (here in the UK and out in Thailand), but was quickly bossing it so much (in Thailand) that she got promoted to an even bigger Head, so in fact now doesn't teach much at all.Sophie...

Something lots of, particularly young people, don't consider.... Teeth NEVER grow back, so whatever cosmetic work you do, is done for life.

And had it been left much longer, he could have lost his career, and their home-life, with 2 young children, could have become very, very different.So when they NHS couldn't solve it, they did; using all the skills and talents (and heritage) they had available to them.

Witch!A gorgeous person, a gorgeous soul, a neurodivergent brain, a non-binary gender statement, and just an amazing (and occasionally, tragic) story knitting all of that together; Anna's story is one of MANY paths and turns and MANY ups and downs.The non-binary 'part' of Anna is something we're especially pleased and proud to have chatted through, because even though TWW is, of course, called 'This Woman's Work' (for now!), the ethos of it, as we hope is clear by now, is actually about promoting equality, inclusion and support; and none of those things are gender specific.

Because Gemma wasn't necessarily hugely academic, and because she didn't intend to become a solicitor.She certainly didn't intent to become an IP/Trademark one.And yet she is now both; and she's amazing at both. So much so that she now runs her own small IP practice which works with some pretty big corporate players.Please meet Gemma....

The diagnosis of it (maybe even the mis-diagnosis of it), the treatment of it (do the drugs work or don't they?), and indeed the ongoing support for people who live with it (or rather the lack of support) are all big topics of conversation online and on social, so it's clearly a job/role that is in high demand.Now we barely scratch the surface of...

Back when she had no idea that she had it, wasn't remotely diagnosed for it, and as such really struggled academically, which in turn severely affected her confidence.Her solution? To work harder, re-read and triple-check everything; in order to compensate for the fact that her writing and spelling wasn't as good as others, and to distract from the fact he brain struggles with...
