This is my first ever solo podcast. I was super nervous recording this, but wanted to give it a try and get me out of my comfort zone. This podcast is about some of my reflections over the last few years and lessons which I've learnt. It's always nice reflecting and introspecting on where you are and how much you've accomplished, so this is my journey so far. Hope you enjoy the listen.
On this episode, I am joined by an empowerment and travel coach Lizzie Laws. I have been following Lizzie on social media and I love her content and positivity and was intrigued to hear more about her journey into coaching. After working for many years, Lizzie decided to take some annual leave and ended up doing 4 years of one and off travel which has changed her life.
Lizzie found many benefits from travelling and has grown as a person from her experiences, and wanted to embark on becoming a travel coach to help other females find themselves and feel empowered. In this episode, she shares more about her coaching journey, her love for travel and how it all started, how it has helped her and advice to others on feeling more confident and positive.
I loved recording this episode as I gained a lot from hearing Lizzie’s story, so hope you enjoy the episode as much as I do.

On this episode, I am joined by Lauren O’Donnell who is a London based female entrepreneur. Lauren has always had a passion for the food industry and found a gap in the market, so decided to quit her corporate job and start her own business called Oatsu, selling plant based breakfasts. Many of us have ideas of starting something new, but very few of us actually implement it. I find it really inspiring that Lauren was brave and fearless enough to take this risk and enter the unknown.
On this episode, Lauren takes us through her business journey, shares tips on building your confidence, starting a business, how to network, how to grow a following and getting your first customers. She also takes us through some of the challenges which she has faced as a female entrepreneur and how she overcame this.
This is a great episode to gain some insight on the real life of an entrepreneur as it’s not always the glitz and glamour that you may see. Lauren has persisted through and has big ambitions for her brand which I know she will achieve with her sheer determination and passion.

On this episode of Fearless Females Voice, I decided to do something a little different. I am joined by my lovely fiance who interviews me about my experiences and thoughts on being a fearless female. I was so excited to share my story with you all and here is an initial glimpse.
On this episode, I talk about my past experiences on sexism, gaining independence through solo travelling, my education and being an Engineer, building my confidence through moving to different cities and my general thoughts on challenges us women go through. I must confess, although this was exciting to record, it was also slightly scary. This was my second attempt at recording this as the first time, I just crumbled and went mind blank.
I hope you enjoy the listen and please reach out if you have any questions or thoughts. And don't forget to leave a review on iTunes. Thanks

I am joined by my old school friend who I haven’t seen in 14 years – Asiya Parek. Asiya was living her life in Leicester, got married and became pregnant. However, 20 weeks into her pregnancy, she was told her son had some issues with his heart, but the extent of this couldn’t be identified at that stage. It wasn’t until after he was born, she found out that he had multiple complications with his heart and that he only had 2-3 months to live.
Asiya and her husband Imran kept hope alive and their son went on to living till his second birthday which was incredible for them to see. Sadly, he passed away in May 2020 in her arms. On this podcast, Asiya openly talks about her story of raising her son with this condition and what her and her family have been through. It’s a rollercoaster of a journey and Asiya has come such a long way and is able to talk about it and help others who are currently going through it.

On this episode, I am joined by my old colleague and friend, Abi MacQuarrie. Abi grew up with a very curious mind and wanted to know how things worked within the world. This mindset led her into an Engineering led path, getting her degree and now doing a PHD.
It all started back when Abi went to college to study Engineering. This is where she was first exposed to a male dominated environment and found it to be quite challenging being one of the only girls in the room. Although it was tough, she stuck with it and then moved on to studying an Engineering degree at the University of York which increased her confidence levels. During this time, she experienced anxiety around her studies as she was striving for perfection. On this podcast Abi talks about her story and her struggles which she overcame to get to where she is now.
