Jo Hoare (@jojolizzy) is an author and journalist who joins me on the podcast to talk about her career on magazines, she was Style Editor of Heat for 11 years, and how she has transitioned into an author with seven titles in print and another on the way. We unpick her creative process and I ask her to share the details of her first fiction novel, which she is currently working on. In this episode we discuss print and online journalism, whether it's okay to mine your own life for a commission how Jo developed her tone of voice (clue: she's dry AF) and how messy the creative process can be.

Bonus Episode:  Joining me on a special mid-week episode of the show it's Carlene Higgins and Jill Dunn from the fabulous podcast Breaking Beauty.  Like me, Carlene and Jill have a background in print journalism, but felt that the podcast was where it was at - and, of course, I agree! As they say in the tagline for their show, 'behind every bestselling beauty product, there's a damn good story,' and each week they put their journalistic hats on and take you behind a brand, trend or story from the beauty industry.  They kindly had me on their show and I was only too happy to reciprocate.  So here we are, on the phone via the internet so please bear with some of the audio issues, talking about knowing your worth (when others don't!), why it's important to diversify in a digital age and much much more...     Hosted on Acast.

I went to Lime Wood Hotel & Spa for a night to try to give myself a break from all things work, social media and, you know, routine. I picked the perfect place because Lime Wood really is a place where you can completely switch off and unwind - they've totally nailed that relaxed, no pressure atmosphere where there's never tensi

Hannah and Sophie Pycroft from Spectrum Collections joined me to talk about their brand of makeup brushes and accessories that has taken social media by storm. The business was an idea born by the pool on holiday, but it hasn't been plain sailing and the sisters talk to me about sticking with it, even when it didn't seem like the best idea, and how a business advisor couldn't quite believe their plans... We talk challenges in business, packing orders in a windowless garage surviving on chocolate biscuits and coffee and why you have to turn everything - even a warehouse fire that destroys all your stock - into a positive.  They also tell me about their best-seller The Glam Clam and the unusual moment when it was born.  To subscribe to Birchbox, the UK's No. 1 Beauty Box, click here >> Birchbox Subscription.
