Her journey – from being ousted from her job while pregnant to creating a thriving, multi-dimensional career as a journalist, author, poet, and entrepreneur – will feel so relatable. After vowing never to be at the mercy of someone else's power to pull the rug from under her, Annie has pivoted and diversified to build a career rooted in her passion for writing while embracing the joys and challenges of motherhood. What's more, she's refreshingly honest about the highs and lows she's experienced along the way.

She has helped thousands of women to launch and grow online businesses through courses and coaching and now, Annie is sharing her secret SQ (spiritual quotient) tips for more joy, magic and success - both at home and at work. Annie's new book, Raise Your SQ, draws on her own experience of how raising her spiritual intelligence transformed her work life, from scrimping and saving each month, to creating a six-figure business from scratch. The book starts with a fantastic introduction to manifestation, covering ancient knowledge and practices, and a seven-day blueprint to get clear on your goals. In this episode, Gemma and Annie discuss spiritual intelligence, how manifestation has always been a part of the human experience, connecting with deities, and how getting clear about what you want is key for manifesting it.

Annie Ridout has found herself lying in bed, worrying about her life choices. But then she gets up in the morning, drinks a coffee and all feels fine. Or manageable, at least. In this episode, Annie explores the reason we might go over everything we're worried about when lying in bed - and then find it all a little lighter once we're up for the day. She asked psychologist Suzy Reading why this happens and shares her thoughts. And there are some tips for getting back to sleep when your mind is having a worry party in the dead of night.Show notes- Author and psychologist Suzy Reading - follow her on Instagram: @suzyreading- The 'worry hour' idea was from therapist Anjali Meghta in this Robora podcast episode.

In this episode, Annie Ridout talks about moving from ‘what if' to ‘I'm doing it'. And how it is that she wound up pulling her kids out of school, homeschooling two of them - for the next eight months - committing to a countryside adventure and making a plan to go travelling. She covers: fear of change, other people becoming barriers, living your life like it's the only one you've got, and how when you make the decision, and start the wheels in motion, it all feels a lot less daunting.

Some weeks, we're full of energy, ideas and enthusiasm. Others, we're not. This week, Annie Ridout was in panic mode and due on her period. So she did pretty much no work at all. Here's what she did instead, why she didn't feel bad about taking time away from the laptop and what happened at the end of her no-work week... (she also shares the story of her incredibly embarrassing, worst-ever sales pitch from last year), Show notes:- To learn more about working with/around your menstrual cycle, check out @_maisiehill_- Read Ebony Gilbert's brilliant poetry book - This Skin I'm In

Successful, sustainable businesses are run by people who know that it's not just hard work that's required but also balance. After two experiences of burnout, Annie Ridout now knows the warning signs and shares them in this episode, as well as what to do to avoid getting to that stage. She talks about toxic productivity, realistic ways to look after yourself when you're a mum or caring for someone else as well as running a business, and she gets real about the pressure to earn taking precedence over wellbeing, sometimes.

Welcome to this special episode of Ctrl Alt Delete! This episode was recorded live at Samsung KX in Coal Drops Yard in front of a live audience which was very exciting! It was a brilliant venue and it's been a while - it felt good to be in person again. A wonderful panel of women got together to discuss the “brilliance bias”, the myth that still sadly pervades our society and work culture, where ‘brilliant' is often seen as a male trait. I am grateful to Samsung for being so transparent and honest in this conversation, they are looking ahead to where they want to be when it comes to these kinds of discussions and that transparency is key. Many studies (research from New York, Harvard and Denver Universities) state that 75% of people implicitly and unknowingly associate high levels of intelligence (or intellectual “brilliance”) with men more than women.It seems slightly crazy to be discussing this but the statistic was so intriguing - I really enjoyed chatting to the panel about the myths and stereotypes around a certain type of person being heralded as ‘brilliant', when actually obviously it comes in all shapes and sizes. So, unpicking this topic, I have a brilliant line-up: Annie Ridout, the bestselling author of SHY; and Chloe Findlay-Walker and Nida Choudhary who both offer interesting perspectives from Samsung, who I'm super excited to be partnering with for this episode as part of its Samsung Pioneers programme. I hope you enjoy this theme, and to find out more, please head to the show notes for more information!

With her book ‘Shy: How being quiet can lead to success', author and journalist Annie Ridout has written a practical guide which teaches us to recognise shyness as a gift and something to be embraced, rather than fixed. Róisín talks to Ridout and our co-producer Suzanne Brennan, who is a shy person, about this often misunderstood attribute. Also in this episode: My Expert Midwife founder and One Born Every Minute star, Lesley Gilchrist, talks to our co-producer Jennifer Ryan about the importance of self-care for women after giving birth and how the pandemic has obliterated new mothers' usual support networks.

Annie Ridout writes in multiple genres including non-fiction, poetry, journalism and now fiction. Her latest non-fiction book Shy: How being quiet can lead to success explores the positive aspects of shyness as well as how to manage some of the more challenging sides of it. We talk about embracing our natural personalities, expanding our comfort zones and dealing with rejection as a writer. We also dive in to the topic of platform building as a writer, Annie's slightly unusual route to publishing and juggling running a business with writing books and raising kids.

You may have had someone steal your business or creative ideas. You may have stolen - or been accused of stealing - other people's. In this episode, Annie Ridout talks through the concept of sharing ideas, and copying what others are doing. She shares her own experience of being accused of copying, and of people ‘borrowing' ideas from her - both with and without permission. 

Annie Ridout launched her first business - The Early Hour - while looking after her one-year-old daughter full-time. As in: no weekday help with childcare. She has since had two more children and now runs The Robora around her three kids (aged six, three and 11-months). Fortunately, her husband Rich shares both the business workload and the childcare/domestic duties. But the baby still keeps Annie up at night so in this episode, she shares some truths about being a sleep-deprived mother and running a business. Along with tips for coping. And a few anecdotes about being a former thief. 

You might have a fantastic online course but unless you also have a marketing and sales strategy, it just won't sell. In this episode, Annie Ridout and Richard Ridout discuss why some courses sell and others don't, and offer a whole load of ideas for getting people to buy your online course. Including: testing the market, NOT being original, Facebook ads, brief 'funnels' chat, pricing and more. Plus, there's a rather endearing childhood anecdote from Richard, relayed in a West Country accent. Here's the online course we reference: Sell more spaces on your online course. 

We all know about IQ as a measure of intelligence. Some will have heard of EQ (emotional quotient). But the new intelligence metric is SQ: spiritual intelligence. This is a measure of how spiritually connected you are. And it's what some of the world's most successful business leaders use to up their game: Oprah Winfrey, Arianna Huffington, Richard Branson, Sheryl Sandberg. In this episode, Annie Ridout explains what it means to be spiritually intelligent and offers tools for incorporating spiritual practices into your work-life. By raising her own SQ, Annie has managed to secure two book deals, commissions from the Guardian, Grazia, Telegraph, Stylist and more. She's spoken on Woman's Hour and sat alongside celebrities on live panels. She's also grown a six-figure online business from scratch, in a year, while raising three young children. She leads a fulfilling, exciting life - and this is down to the spiritual practices she incorporates into her every working day. Now, she's ready to share them with you…

Growing a mailing list may be important. But not as important as the emails you send out. In this episode, Annie Ridout talks subject lines that will make people open the email, then content that will be exciting, not annoying, for people to receive.Once you've nailed your email content, this is such a good way to convert customers. So it's worth getting it right.Recommended email lists to sign up to: Sophia Matveeva, Otegha Uwagba and Harriet Minter. Plus any others you come across that cover your areas of interest. 

In the first ever episode of The Robora podcast, host Annie Ridout discusses going from being a 10-year-old window cleaner to freelance mum (not, initially, her choice) and on to running a six-figure online business with her husband, Rich.
