Welcome to today’s #1230TWCBusinessBeat! I’m your host, Jackie Groundsell, and we have an extraordinary lineup of Guests for you today. Get ready for an engaging, informative, and fun session with our fabulous guests: SARAH MARSH-COLLINGS, RIKA CHANDRA, SIMI GHUMAN, AND CHANICE GHUMAN.

Celebrations and Good Wishes

Before we dive in, let’s wish a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to everyone celebrating today, especially Simi’s husband, Val! Let’s all join in and sing a cheerful birthday song for him!

We’re also sending our love and hugs to those who might be having a difficult time. Remember, we’re here for you, and you’re always in our thoughts.

Recap and Upcoming Highlights

Last week, we had the pleasure of hosting Fiona Catchpowle, who shared insightful details about Menopause Circles. If you missed that episode, be sure to check out our podcast archives for all the juicy details.

Meet Our Fabulous Guests

First up, we have the incredible SARAH MARSH-COLLINGS! Sarah is a marketing consultant who transitioned from a career in catering and high street recruitment to the marketing world. She launched her business after moving to Buckingham in 2013 and hasn’t looked back since. When she’s not working, Sarah enjoys walks with her Spaniels, cooking for family and friends, and powerlifting. In April, she raised £900 for the RSPCA by participating in the London Landmarks Half Marathon.

Sarah’s Hot Tips:

1. Social Media Strategy: Don’t try to be on every social media channel. It takes time to do social media well, and you’ll likely have different audiences on each platform.

2. Out of Office Reply: Use your out-of-office message to say something interesting about your business. Showcase what you’re up to and when you’ll be back.

SIMI AND CHANICE GHUMAN

Next, we have the dynamic duo, Simi and Chanice Ghuman. Simi, originally a lawyer, transitioned into the healthcare sector and is passionate about delivering high standards of care. Chanice, with a background in healthcare recruitment, is dedicated to delivering her best in every endeavor. Together, they run a supportive home care business and have innovated the Connections Cafe, where people can come together to hear inspiring speakers and participate in mini-workshops.

Highlights from Simi and Chanice:

• Their business pays above the minimum wage, emphasizing fair compensation.

• They discussed the financial aspects of care and the role of AI in their services.

• Opportunities for collaboration in networking, as they have with Rika Chandra.

RIKA CHANDRA

Finally, we welcome Rika Chandra, a storyteller and 'pen for hire'. Rika specializes in biographies for individuals and families, helping them document their lives and leave a legacy. She also offers copywriting services for businesses, focusing on website copy, articles, and marketing brochures.

Rika’s Insights:

• Writing family histories can be a unique gift and a way to celebrate milestones.

• Rika collaborates with Radfield Home Care to present biography workshops, helping people uncover their past and celebrate their achievements.

• 8 August: Business Woman’s Big Show in Longfield, Kent. Don’t miss the speed networking with Sian Murphy.

Welcome to the 1230 TWC Business Beat Radio Show! I’m your host, Jackie Groundsell, and today, we have a very special and enlightening episode for you. We’re diving into the crucial topic of menstrual health with our fantastic guest, Fiona Catchpowle from The Menopause Group CIC. This is essential listening, packed with valuable insights and tips.

Special Guest: Fiona Catchpowle - Menstrual Health Evangelist Hugs and love to everyone, especially those going through tough times. Remember, we’re here for you! A very happy birthday shout-out to my nephew Martin Songhurst and my long-time friend Alan Rich. If you have any shout-outs or events, don’t forget to send them in!

Fiona Catchpowle is a passionate advocate for menstrual health and menopause awareness. She loves discussing these topics with anyone willing to listen. As a food lover and first on the dance floor at weddings, Fiona enjoys spending time with her two daughters and grandson, Teddy.

Key Discussions with Fiona Catchpowle

1. Why Don’t We Talk About Menopause? Fiona explains that the lack of discussion about menopause stems from our silence about menstruation, which in turn, is because no one taught us how to talk about it.

2. When Does Menopause Start? According to Fiona, the menstrual health timeline is set the moment two chromosomes unite.

3. Top Tip: Watch the Story of Menopause Fiona’s top advice is to educate yourself about menopause through reliable resources. She believes that understanding biology is key to changing how we think and talk about menopause.
