In this episode, I’m joined by my brilliant friend and former HR colleague turned Sunday Times Bestselling author, Jennie Godfrey.
Jennie shares how her journey into publishing started with a dog walk and a spark of an idea that wouldn’t let go. We talk about the fear and doubt that shows up – especially that nagging “Who am I to do this?” voice. -and how she pushed through with grit, humour, and a lot of trust.
We also explore how Jennie’s experience in recovery has shaped her approach to writing, resilience, and living a values-led life. It’s an inspiring reminder that bravery doesn’t mean having no fear – it means doing it anyway.
This episode is a must-listen if you’re wondering what your next step could look like, or if you’re craving the courage to finally take it.
