Hello Rewriters - Happy International Women's Day and welcome to this month’s episode.
Today I'm speaking with Nicki Coe - Marketing Strategist, Business Coach and Co-Founder of the marketing agency Luna & Lion.
Nicki worked in corporate media for many years but always knew she wanted to work for herself someday. Although she was constantly coming up with business ideas and plans, nothing stuck – she was always stumped by not having all of the answers and all of the detail laid out before she began. It was only when she overcame the old story that success requires you to know where you want to go that she was able to embrace and trust the pull of the next step, rather than planning for the big end destination.
Ultimately, it was through this letting go of control and the need to know for sure that led to her creating two successful and fulfilling businesses.
During our conversation Nicki shares her thoughts on:

Hello Rewriters!
In today’s solo episode, I’m discussing one of my favourite works topics – personal brand – and why I believe it is fundamental for creating a career that works for you.
In this episode I cover:
I also share how I came across the power of personal brand quite unexpectedly in my career and then used it to get noticed (and promoted) at work for doing the things I loved most. Personal brand helped me to rewrite my career story multiple times and ultimately allowed me to create and launch my own business.

Hello Rewriters and welcome to the very first episode of 2022!
In this episode I speak with small business PR expert and Founder of the PR Set, Pippa Goulden. Pippa is passionate about giving small business owners the knowledge and confidence they need to get their business visible and help them to grow through PR.
What sets Pippa apart is the way she widens access to PR and demystifies an otherwise expensive, intimidating and inaccessible industry. Pippa rewrote her own career story leaving PR agency life and work as a magazine editor to create a business that makes PR accessible and doable for businesses who may have felt it was out of reach for them. She loves PR and she loves helping people succeed and now she does both in a way that also works for her and the way she wants to live.
During our conversation we discuss:
Pippa also shares the old stories she had to let go of to create her business and the work/life she now has.
Work with Pippa:
Connect via Instagram https://www.instagram.com/pippa_the.pr.set/. She welcomes all of your PR and self-promo questions. Find out more about becoming a member of The PR Set membership and other ways to work with Pippa here: https://www.theprset.com/links/

Welcome to 'The Rewriters' podcast. In this episode I speak with Sarah Potter AKA La Dolce Vita Coach. Sarah is a Hypnotherapist and Emotional Intelligence Coach, she offers Reiki, Marketing for healers, coaches and therapists and she's also a Vegan Cake Maker! Sarah describes herself as a 'multi-potential' woman. We talk about what this means during our conversation, but essentially Sarah has lots of loves and different threads to her career. She is unapologetic about it and she loves to help other women unfurl their own multi-potential careers too.
Coaching and hypnosis helped Sarah get unstuck from an outwardly successful life in international marketing that left her feeling hollow inside. Using many of the tools we discuss in this episode, she was able to build a life that embraced her love for travel, service and creativity – all supported by a portfolio (or multi-potential) career.
During our conversation we also discuss the role intuition and values played in her career changes and try to dispel some of the myths about changing your mind mid-career.
Work with Sarah:

My guest is Izzy McLean, a Transformational Coach and founder of The Whole Of The Moon, who works with women to help them make the changes they want to see in their lives. One of her key programmes She Bangs the Drum is dedicated specifically to women wanting a more positive relationship with alcohol.
Driven by her desire to understand and get a handle on her relationship with alcohol, Izzy spent many years studying the science and practice of behaviour change before training as a coach and resigning from her leadership role in education to start her own coaching practice. Now, she's on a mission to share what she has learnt and help other women make the changes they want to see in their lives too. During this conversation Izzy and I share the reasons why we each decided to reassess our relationship with alcohol and where we’re at in our own journeys. This episode was created for anyone who has a niggle that their relationship with alcohol might not be working for them either.

Hello everyone and welcome to Season 2 of The Rewriters!
In today’s special solo cast episode, I am going to walk you through how you can fall back in love with your career without quitting your job!
This episode was inspired by my beautiful friend (and the talent behind the podcast's original music) DJ Cinnamon.She texted me over the Summer asking if people could rewrite their career story in their current jobs and my answer was Yes! Yes! YES! 100% they can!
In this episode I share:
Throughout the episode I share a number of questions for you to explore and exercises you can work through so keep your notebook handy when you listen.
It’s an opportunity for us all to check in with where we are in our work lives and make the necessary tweaks to fall in love with our jobs again or get clear about what we need in the next one.
