The School Run
E141:The Power of Connection: Andy Lopata on Building Meaningful Professional Relationships

Why do some people seem to have opportunities flow to them with ease, while others struggle to build the right support network? The difference often comes down to how we approach relationships.

In this episode of The School Run Podcast, Jane and Liv are joined by Andy Lopata — author, international speaker, and one of Europe’s leading experts on networking and professional relationships. Recognised by Forbes as a “true master of networking” and described by the Financial Times as a top business strategist, Andy shares how cultivating authentic connections can transform your career and your life.

Together we explore:

  • Andy’s Relationship Matrix model — and how it can help you move from leaving relationships to chance, to nurturing them with intention

  • Why asking for help is not a weakness but a strength, and how to reframe “usefulness” in your network

  • The three biggest reasons people hold back from asking — and how to overcome them

  • Lessons Andy learned from his own school years, bullying, and the mentors who helped shape his path

  • Why aligning who you are personally and professionally helps you show up with authenticity in all areas of life

This is a conversation about more than just networking — it’s about building trust, finding the right mentors, and surrounding yourself with people who lift you higher. Whether you’re a student, early in your career, or an established professional, Andy’s wisdom will change the way you think about the relationships around you.

✨ Connect with Andy via the links in our show notes, and don’t forget to follow The School Run Podcast so you never miss an episode.

The School Run
E140: Finding Strength in Community: Leah Scott on Bravely Together and the Journey of Medical Motherhood

What happens when life takes a turn you never imagined, and motherhood looks completely different from the picture you once held? In this heartfelt episode of The School Run Podcast, we sit down with Leah Scott — health coach, EFT practitioner, and founder of Bravely Together.

Leah’s story is one of courage, compassion, and resilience. As a mum who has navigated the challenges of caring for children with complex medical needs — including the heartbreaking loss of her daughter Paige — Leah has turned her lived experience into a mission: to help other mums reclaim their energy, wellbeing, and sense of self while caring for their children.

We explore:

  • How Bravely Together was born and why community is so vital for mums in similar situations

  • Practical wellbeing tips for parents who feel there’s “no time” for themselves

  • The power of peer support and why being understood makes all the difference

  • How simple daily practices — from hydration to movement to EFT tapping — can create space for healing

  • Why resilience doesn’t mean “doing it all” but finding light in the chaos

Whether you’re a parent yourself, know a family navigating complex care needs, or simply want to hear a story that reframes what it means to find strength in adversity, this conversation will stay with you.

✨ Connect with Leah and find out more about Bravely Together via the links in our show notes. And if you enjoyed this episode, please share it with someone who needs to hear it.
