🌟 Alice’s Journey: From Survivor to Supporter Today, we also have the honor of welcoming “Alice” (a name we’re using to protect her privacy), a courageous survivor of domestic violence who has transformed her life and is now on a mission to inspire others with her story. Alice reminds us that resilience, self-belief, and never giving up can carry us through even the toughest times.
Alice’s Words of Wisdom:
• Believe in Yourself: Alice reminds us, “The difference between those who succeed and those who don’t is that the successful ones never gave up.” Entrepreneurship and life are both about growth, adaptation, and finding ways to broaden your perspective.
• A Passionate Business Mindset: “Check what you like so your business feels like a dear hobby. When you truly believe in what you do, that passion will shine through,” Alice shares, encouraging listeners to build businesses that align with their values and interests.
• Music for the Soul: Music lifts Alice’s spirits and sets the tone for her day. From uplifting Latin music to the inspiration of opera, Alice lets her mood guide her playlist, always aiming for positivity.
Alice’s story serves as a beacon of hope, reminding us that no matter the hardships we face, we can always forge new paths and help others by sharing what we’ve learned.
🙏 Special Thanks to Our Listeners and Guests A huge thank you to our wonderful guests, Zeenat Noorani and Alice, for their courage, insights, and inspiration.

Meet Our Guests
Gitana Paskauskiene – Menopause Specialist and Clinician I’m Gitana, a menopause nurse practitioner and mum of two. With over 20 years in the NHS, my mission is to empower every woman with the knowledge to manage menopause confidently. I’m passionate about providing a relaxed, supportive environment where women can understand the health risks of untreated menopause and explore the best treatment options. I also run a private menopause clinic and am delighted to be part of this show during Menopause Awareness Month.
Fiona Catchpowle – Menopause Doula and Health Advocate Meet Fiona, our vibrant Menopause Doula and Menstrual Health Advocate! With her joyful laughter and infectious enthusiasm, Fiona champions menstrual health as the "5th Vital Sign." She’s a devoted grandma, science lover, and brings years of wisdoum and humour to support women at every life stage.
Ailsa Petchey – Wellness Coach and Author
Ailsa brings over 30 years of experience in health and wellness, supporting women through hormonal changes. She’s a Pilates instructor, menopause coach, and author of Don’t Sweat It! Manage Your Menopause in 21 Days. Ailsa is passionate about empowering women, offering workshops, and even a menopause walking group to help you along your midlife journey.
Questions from Our Listeners
Thank you to all the listeners who sent in these fantastic questions! Here are just a few:
• Jane from Orpington: “How do I know if I’m perimenopausal or menopausal? The terms are confusing.”
• Kate from Maidstone: “I asked my doctor about HRT, but they asked me which type I wanted. Isn’t it their job to know?”
• Candi from Trowbridge: “Menopause sounds scary. What can I do to prepare?”
• Sarah from Torquay: “I’ve tried HRT and exercise, but I still have symptoms.
What else can I do?” In reply to G Gitana …. - Fiona how your interest in women's health began?
What inspired her to focus on this area?”
My interest in holistic health and well-being comes from my longstanding interest in Human Biology. I'm 57 now, so that would be nearly 40 years!
When I completed my diploma in Applied Biology in Surrey, rather than stay on and do more study I decided to enter into the world of employment but couldn't find anything that suited me. I then decided to re-train as a Beauty therapist, with a special interest in massage therapy, and also took post-graduate studies in reflexology and aromatherapy. Shortly after I trained as a lecturer and gained my post-16 cert ed qualification. Since then I have taught all kinds of holistic therapy classes and also A-level biology in Spain to international students. I kept my hand in on the holistic side of things and took my massage couch to Spain with me. Having worked hands-on with women for 30 years when I recognized perimenopause in myself, I realized I had never learned about it, never taught menstrual health and also realised there was no one you could just book in with and say, 'bugger me this perimenopause is a bit tough, can you give me hand as I can't see the wood for the trees'.
Menstrual health is not covered under any clinical specialty. You don't ring your GP up and say I started my period, or I have really bad period pain. You are expected to manage on your own.
The same happens with perimenopause. So I have made it my mission to create as many touch points in the lives of menstruators where they can learn about and obtain safe, sensible and supportive advice about menstrual health across life stages.
Since then I have trained over 200 people to be menstrual health informed, including doctors and nurses, plus NHS health coaches and social prescribers.
I don't see it as women's health care. I see it as educating all people about their own biology, so they can make informed choices. Using the phrase women's health care is very outdated. It excludes and alienates people of all genders, when we should be focusing on intersectionality. I prefer menstruator and co-menstruator.
These are questions many women are navigating, and we’re here to provide real answers and support. A big thank you to Fiona, Ailsa, and Gitana, our incredible guests, and all of you who tuned in. See you next week, same time, with special guest Sheena King of the new group - 1230 TWC Amersham & Chesham. Until then, stay informed, stay connected, and remember, we’re here for you every step of the way! Take care…, same time, same place

Unstoppable Women in Business, Mental Health, and Personal Empowerment - Episode 88

Welcome to another empowering episode, filled with inspiring stories, insightful conversations, and practical tips from dynamic women shaping their industries with me, your Host Jackie Groundsell.
Special Guest Highlights:
Jenny Holloway – Revolutionizing Fashion and Mental Health Jenny Holloway, the powerhouse behind Fashion Enter Ltd (FEL), takes us through her remarkable journey from the corporate world of Arcadia and Marks & Spencer to building her own successful fashion brand. Jenny didn’t stop there; she spent six years as a government advisor, nurturing new designer talent. Now, with almost 80 employees, FEL is a trailblazer in ethical manufacturing and fashion training. But what truly sets Jenny apart is her commitment to social causes. We explore the HOPE-FX project—a collaboration with the North London Mental Health Partnership. Jenny shares the power behind giving young people recovering from mental health challenges the tools and support to create their own unique t-shirts and products. These young designers not only gain new skills but also rebuild their confidence. Their efforts have led to the HOPE-FX project being shortlisted for a prestigious HSJ Award in the Early Intervention and Prevention category. Jenny speaks passionately about how creativity, self-expression, and slow, steady business growth—without debt—are keys to long-term success.
Lucy Hawkins – Turning Passion into Business Our next guest, Lucy Hawkins, is the creative mind behind House of Happy Threads, a boutique sewing business born from her passion for textiles . Lucy, a seamstress from West Wickham, shares her journey of balancing family life with her business dreams. She talks about the joys of traveling the world with her husband and daughter, exploring new cuisines, and how those experiences influence her creativity.
In our conversation, Lucy reveals a hard lesson learned in social media marketing when her account was deactivated, erasing years of work. Her valuable advice to fellow entrepreneurs: always back up your content, and consider getting verified if you rely heavily on social platforms for your business. It was a stressful moment, but Lucy rebuilt her presence from scratch and is now stronger than ever. Her resilience and resourcefulness are true testaments to the power of determination.
Michel – Inspired by Family, Driven by Ambition From an early age, Michel knew she was for entrepreneurship. Inspired by her grandparents, who ran a thriving property and hospitality business, Michel began earning her own money at just 14. She fondly recalls the lessons she learned from watching her grandparents’ hard work and dedication, which laid the foundation for her own entrepreneurial journey.
Our discussion dives into the importance of early inspiration, the hustle of starting young, and how family values can shape a successful career. Michel’s story serves as a reminder that with the right mindset and work ethic, anyone can carve out a path to success.
Carole Pyke – Sparkling Through Challenges The incredible Carole Pyke, also known as the Queen of Sparkle, brings a wealth of wisdom and energy to the table. As a two-time survivor living with only five years of conscious memory, Carole has a unique perspective on life, resilience, and personal branding. Her SPARKLE Methodology helps women leaders and entrepreneurs stand out, be unforgettable, and lead with confidence.
In this episode, Carole discusses the power of a smile—an essential ingredient in her personal brand. As we celebrate World Smile Day, explains how smiling, combined with her “Sparkle Injection,” can transform not just personal outlooks but entire businesses. According to Carole, success starts with "S," but it always begins with YOU. She urges entrepreneurs to embrace their uniqueness and bring their sparkle into everything they do.
What’s Coming Up:
• 17 October: Evolution of Finance for Business Women event, where Jenny Holloway will be a keynote speaker, sharing her insights on business growth, finance, and mental health in the workplace.
• 21 October: Menopause & HRT Special – Tune in as we discuss the challenges and support systems for women navigating menopause and hormone replacement therapy.
• 22 January: The exciting launch of the Amersham & Chesham business event with Sheena King, connecting local businesses for growth and collaboration.
• 13 March: The Kent Business Show, a fantastic opportunity to network with entrepreneurs and business leaders from across the region.
Final Thoughts:
I want to extend a huge thank you to my amazing guests—Jenny, Lucy, Michel, and Carole—for sharing their wisdom and experiences with us today. Their stories remind us that whether it's building a business, supporting mental health initiatives, or bouncing back from adversity, the key is to stay focused, stay resilient, and keep sparkling!
And to you, my listeners, thank you for tuning in week after week. Your support means the world, and I can’t wait to have you back for next week’s special guests—Denise and Rachel.
