A theme of recent weeks has been the spoken word.
Even though they’ve been around for years, I’ve recently gotten into podcasts in a big way – I’ve downloaded several to my iPad, my current favourite being ‘Happier’ with Gretchen Rubin.
Listening to a 30 minute podcast on a morning is a nice way to start the day. I used to watch breakfast telly but I don’t find the output very uplifting plus I am not in one place whilst getting ready. I move around the house so this way I take my podcast with me!
I’ve also been on the radio a couple of times. BBC Radio Leeds invited me onto a weekend show to discuss blogging and tips on social media. Here I am with presenter Gayle Lofthouse in the studio!

Then a couple of months later I was talking ‘To do lists’ with Nick Ahad!
What’s on your to-do list? @NickAhad chats to @businessmum & #Boxsets – are you a fan, what are you ploughing through at the moment?

I love going on the radio. Back in 2006* I actually won a radio presenter competition at BBC Radio Leeds and presented a Christmas Day show for the station! But when I’m actively listening and not talking, the top 5 podcasts I’m enjoying at the moment are great for entrepreneurial women as they are uplifting, educational and full of business tips and success stories.
1. Happier – Gretchen Rubin
2. Glambition – Ali Brown
3. Unsettle – Advice from successful entrepreneurs
4. Hello Freedom – Terri Cole
5. The Fearless Launching Show – Anne Samoilov

*Here is the BBC’s press release on my win. I wanted to include it as it said I won with 37% of the vote and that’s a nice fact to remember after all these years!
