This week I'm welcoming Joeli Caparco to the podcast! Joeli is a brilliant coach who helps people reconnect with their needs, wants, and desires so that they can have happier, healthier relationships.   Together we unpack the complexities of how money-making plays into, and sometimes determines the dynamics of our marriages and relationships. Fair warning, it's a maze of conditioning, a healthy dose of grey area, and a whole lot of self (re)discovery!   Stay tuned as Joeli shares her own story of a dysfunctional money dynamic within her previous marriage, and how she created a new family balance that made room for the work that she's passionate about and the moneymaking possibilities that come with it.   You can find out more about Joeli's work at queercyclecoach.com @joelicaparco

She's the founder of Pregnant Then Screwed and she's a powerhouse when it comes to tackling the motherhood penalty. That's 54,000 of us every year lopped out of the workforce for daring to have a baby. This episode digs deep on the current childcare crisis and how so many of us are getting into debt simply trying to function as a working family. Expect practical advice and an innate knowledge of what the flip is going on with a government that seems to think kids are a recreational side hustle. Cathartic for sure. Supportive, too.

In this guest episode of The Therapy Edit, Anna is thrilled to chat to campaigner, author and founder of Pregnant Then Screwed, Joeli Brearley about her One Thing; that the motherhood penalty is NOT YOUR FAULTJoeli founded Pregnant Then Screwed in 2015 after her own experience of pregnancy discrimination. She writes for the Telegraph, is the winner of the Northern Power Women Agent for Change award, is an Amnesty International Human Rights Defender and a member of the United Nations Working Group: Women's Human Rights in the Changing World of Work. In January 2021 she took the Government to court for indirect sex discrimination due to the way self employed mothers were being financially penalised by the income support scheme. Her debut book: ”Pregnant Then Screwed: The Truth about the Motherhood Penalty, and how to fix it'' was published on the 4th March 2021. In 2022 'The Motherhood Penalty: How to stop motherhood being the kiss of death for your career' was published.

Menstrual Cycle Awareness is an archetypal experience of inner seasonal strengths and shadows that can bring us into sharp focus of how we express and embody different variations of ourselves across the menstrual cycle. For many its a very powerful self-awareness and empowerment tool, yet there is a tendency for people to think they should experience their cycle just as the textbook tells them, leaving them feeling further disconnection to their body and cycle when it doesn't fit the mould. Today's guest on Wild Flow is here to expand the horizons on who gets to participate in menstrual cycle awareness, and to specifically include people who identify as neurodivergent, queer and those who aren't tapping into their body's rhythm for fertility purposes. Joeli Carparco is a Mindset and Menstrual Cycle Coach for creatives, content creators, and coaches. She works to bring a neuroqueer lens to the menstrual cycle awareness space, by taking the focus off of fertility and even menstruation itself in order to expand the umbrella of who is included and to acknowledge different experiences of having a cycle. Through creating a practice of getting in touch with their body, Joeli helps her clients reconnect with their needs, wants, and desires so that they can have happier, healthier relationships with themselves, others, and their businesses.Joeli's pronouns are she/they, and she identifies as queer and neurodivergent and I am very grateful to Joeli for sharing so much insightful knowledge, wisdom and experience with us in this episode. Its one I hope everyone listens to whether you're queer or neurodivergent yourself and are looking for examples and representation when it comes to understanding how you experience your cycle, whether you're holding space for others in menstrual cycle awareness or wellness, and whether this is something you're listening to and learning about for the first time. Joeli and I chatted about:How Joeli realised their neurodivergence was exacbated by their cycle and what it looks like for them with ADHD and Autism, in life and business,What neuroqueering the menstrual cycle means, what it looks like in action, and why its important,How the menstrual cycle awareness space usually excludes non cis-gendered and neuro-normative people (even if unintentionally), and how that feels for Joeli.How coaches and space holders especially can be more inclusive of menstruation beyond charting fertility and connecting to the womb, by using better language and the ‘follow-through', especially if you're not sure of what the right wording or actions you can take are,How Joeli linThanks so much as ever for supporting me to host Wild Flow Podcast!

Two days after she informed her employer that she was pregnant with her first child, Joeli Brearley was sacked from her job by voicemail. Off the back of this she founded Pregnant then Screwed, a charity dedicated to ending the motherhood penalty.

The Possibility Club podcast: Practical Bravery     DEFENDING MOTHERHOOD!       New mums are worried about leaving children with other people; about juggling new responsibilities, childcare and bringing the whole self to work. They are worried about the cost of childcare and about flexibility for emergencies, illness or anything that else that means child and mum need to be together. And if your work is linked to your self-esteem and your purpose, to your motivation and identity - then time away from it and not thinking about can crash that confidence - especially given how much a business and its processes can change in a year. And then the guilt - why should any of this get in the way, when having children is a privilege and a choice?   Whether you're looking through the lens of productivity or performance, culture or compliance - the HR strategy of any business, whether there are 20 of you or 2,000, should be to be an organisation in which people can be their best.     There can be great positive impact in seeing maternity support as an opportunity to rally round, upskill, demonstrate collective empathy and recognising that there will be some new perspectives and priorities that could actually be helpful. You have an opportunity to genuinely transform an employee's life for the better in ways that almost certainly foster loyalty, close connection and creative thinking.     It is hard for small businesses, but so is everything. Lean in and collaborate with affected staff rather than hide behind policies. How can businesses help with childcare - which is the number one barrier and concern? It could be through tax relief and salary sacrifice, or just by being flexible on work start and end times.   In this episode Richard Freeman meets Motherhood defender, entrepreneur, charity leader, agent provocateur, organiser of The March of The Mummies and author of  The Motherhood Penalty: How to stop motherhood being the kiss of death for your career - Joeli Brearly   ------   Pregnant Then Screwed https://pregnantthenscrewed.com/   “We exist to end the motherhood penalty — essentially we mean the gender pay gap.”   “We all talk about the gender pay gap and often we don't even mention motherhood but we know that the pay differential between men and women who don't have children is absolutely tiny, and it's as soon as you get into those childbearing years that the pay gap widens. By the time your first child is twelve years old, a woman's hourly pay rate is 33% behind a man's. We want to close that gap.”   Twitter: @pregnant_then_screwed Twitter: @joeli_brearley   Joeli Brearley — The Motherhood Penalty (Simon & Schuster Ltd) (via Hive) https://www.hive.co.uk/Product/Joeli-Brearley/The-Motherhood-Penalty--How-to-stop-motherhood-being-the-/25912501   Joeli on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/joelibrearley/?originalSubdomain=uk “None of this is about blaming men.

I get messages all the time saying without you I would have fallen apart. I do get kicks out of the campaigning as well but campaign is losing, you know, campaigning is bashing your head against a brick wall.”   Early Years Alliance https://www.eyalliance.org.uk/   “The money that the government gives to the childcare sector, they underfund those places by about £3 per child, per hour, and don't give those nurseries opportunities to make up that shortfall, so those costs have to be passed down the chain. That's why you have childcare professionals on minimum wage. We've had 20,000 nurseries close since 2015.”   “Of course we talk about it from the perspective of the mothers, and some providers don't like that. They think that we should be talking about it in a very different way. And we think, come on guys, we're in this together!”     “The fact of the matter is, this argument will be won off the back of parents, it won't be won off the back of providers. Because we're a bigger group! We're making that noise, we're making that point repeatedly.”   Mary Agyapong ‘felt pressured to work' (via BBC News) https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-56498978 -----------     This episode was recorded in January 2023 Interviewer: Richard Freeman for always possible Editor: CJ Thorpe-Tracey for Lo Fi Arts   For more visit alwayspossible.co.uk

Two important issues for women come together in this episode of the Dr Louise Newson Podcast featuring guest Joeli Brearley. Joeli founded the charity Pregnant Then Screwed after she was fired from her job the day after telling her employers she was pregnant. Joeli wanted to create a space for others to share their stories of discrimination at work, which quickly grew into Pregnant Then Screwed, a charity dedicated to ending the motherhood penalty and campaigning for change. Joeli shares a personal story of her own changing hormones in her late 30s; she recounts her struggle to be listened to by healthcare professionals and to find the right treatment for her symptoms that were exacerbated by progesterone intolerance. Joeli's three tips for women who think they might be perimenopausal: Talk to other women, it's a great way to find out really useful information Keep going and don't give up. Trust in yourself and how you know you're feeling. Keep pushing for what you feel you need. If you don't feel well and feel like you're going mad after having the Mirena coil fitted, tell your healthcare professional. You could have a sensitivity to the progestogen in it and there may be a better alternative method for you.

If you've ever been fooked over at work for daring to have a baby, this one's for you. Campaigner and founder of the charity Pregnant Then Screwed (but we're a podcast, so we're using the original name Pregnant Then Fucked), joins us to discuss why childcare is on the brink of collapse, the shocking stories of maternity discrimination she's dealt with and how women are now choosing to abort wanting pregnancies because they can't afford the costs. She also talks about how campaigning for vulnerable women took a toll on her mental health and the online abuse she's faced. Original music by Matt J Brown at WeAreOK.com

We're back with another live coaching episode! This week, I'm chatting with Self-belief coach Joeli Kelly about how fears around success, failure, and everything in between can sneak into our businesses.   Joeli takes us back to her time at university, and how her experience there created a make-or-break idea of success that she carries with her to this day. We break down the cycle that happens when you want success but fear the potential failure that would come if things don't turn out as planned. When this happens in your business it can feel paralyzing, so we map out ways to challenge it and embrace your own form of success, whatever unique and wonderful shape that may take.   A huge thanks to Joeli for sharing her time and experience with us!   You can find Joeli at https://joeli.info/ https://www.instagram.com/joelikelly/   If you've caught my mention of my pricing flowchart at the end of the episode, click here  to get access to this FREE resource that will help you price with confidence!    QUOTES   FROM JOELI “You can't succeed forever. You will fail. So it feels like: well, if I just don't ever succeed, then I don't ever fail. Like the bigger the success, the bigger the failure. So just don't. Just be really, really small.”   “For a good number of years, [my business] has paid my bills. And so I'm like, this is what I'm qualified to do! As much as I don't believe it, as much as I don't understand it, as much as I am so sure it's going to come crashing down next week, next month, two months from now, the evidence says it's not. The evidence says: somehow Joeli, you're actually quite good at being self-employed.”   “It's safe for me to have lots of money. I will be responsible for that. It's safe for me to have success. I won't. Dynamite it at any at any moment.”   “You can be a good coach and someone can feel like their time with you is a waste of money… you can be good with money and make mistakes with money. You can be successful and feel like a failure; you can be a failure and feel like a success.”   FROM RAY “We're talking about avoiding success, but I wonder if the fear is actually that the success leads to a failure, which means you're still avoiding failure.”   “Ask yourself, is, am I avoiding, what am I avoiding here? Am I avoiding failure? Am I even scared of that failure really? Or is this an okay situation. Just notice those things and purposefully gather the evidence to the contrary.”

Joeli is the founder of Pregnant Then Screwed. She started campaigning after she lost her job when she fell pregnant -an experience that changed her life forever. A one-woman battle has now become a huge organization helping thousands of women across the country. We reflect on the last two years and the heavy responsibility she had to help protect pregnant women from the virus. Her workload increased by almost four times on the day lockdown was announced - a one-woman show has now evolved into a charity that's helping women from all pockets of society in the UK.

54,000 women a year are forced out of their jobs due to pregnancy or for taking maternity leave and 77% have encountered some form of discrimination in the workplace.

Imagine a world where women don’t lose their jobs, or miss out on promotions, because they’re pregnant or have just had a baby. I can’t even picture it, because so many women experience maternity discrimination, today, in 2021. My guest on this episode, Joeli Brearley, lost her job the day after she told her employer she was pregnant and went onto launch the charity and campaigning group Pregnant Then Screwed.Joeli is a mum of two and campaigns for better rights for pregnant women and mothers, including asking for three months’ ring-fenced parental leave for both parents at 90% of salary, properly subsidised childcare from six months old and increasing the time limit to raise a tribunal claim from three months to six months.Her book Pregnant Then Screwed: The Truth About the Motherhood Penalty and How to Fix It is a must-read expose of the practices and systems that force women out of their jobs because they’re having or have had a baby, and about how we can challenge them and demand a fairer, level playing field.Joeli talks to me about her own experiences of losing her job while pregnant, why expecting mothers to raise a tribunal claim within three months when they’re in a vulnerable place is unacceptable and why it’s critical that the government invest properly in the childcare system. We also talk about flexible working and how the pandemic has affected it.** Pregnant Then Screwed are currently running a campaign with Grazia to ask the government to commission an independent review of childcare funding and affordability.

Have you heard of the phrase the motherhood penalty? This week's guest, Joeli Brearly, founder of the brilliant Pregnant Then Screwed charity is on a mission to help us understand what it means and also how to do something about it. She set up Pregnant Then Screwed after being sacked when she was just 4 months pregnant. It started as a project to collect other women's experiences and now seven years later it is a leading charity supporting thousands of mothers each week who have faced discrimination at work. If you are not familiar with it, it's worth looking up. Reading Joeli's book, The Motherhood Penalty was incredibly eye-opening for me. I loved digging into the data on this. My intention with this episode was to bring awareness to this issue and bring to light some of the shocking data and statistics around what it means and how the system is basically rigged against us. Joeli explains why brilliantly in this episode. I hope this conversation inspires you to do something about it and think about how we can all support each other to make it a fairer playing field for mothers. If you can get the book I highly recommend it, but if you can't she shares amazing information on so much on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. We talk about: The truth about the motherhood penalty Working mum's during Covid What we can do to help fix the motherhood penalty

Imagine being fired, by voicemail, after telling your boss that you're pregnant. It seems like something from a different era, or at least, akin to a bad dating story. Yet this is exactly what happened to this week's guest, Joeli Brearley, the CEO and founder of Pregnant Then Screwed. Joeli sits down with Yasmin to talk about how her high-risk pregnancy prevented her from taking legal action and how this lit the fuse for Pregnant Then Screwed. They talk about taking the government to court for discriminating against women in the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme and the (very relatable) stress dreams that came with it. Joeli is a powerhouse with a huge social media following, and this episode also looks at what it's like dealing with trolls and how she wants to change the workplace for mothers, no matter how messy it gets or how many people it upsets.

Müstilistele teemadele spetsialiseerunud Õhtulehe ajakirjaniku Sirje Presnali ja Õhtulehe veebi loovjuhi Anu Saagimi seekordseks "Puuduta mind" saate külaliseks on YouTube'i kanali "Saatuseratas" omanik ja taro kaartide spetsialist Maily Kaljuvald. Maily on tegelnud küll kaartide panemisega juba pikki aastaid, kuid mitte avalikult. Nüüd, alates aprillist, on tal Youtube'is oma kanal Saatuseratas, kus on üleval erinevad ennustusvideod. Lihtsad, loogilised, arusaadavad. Näiteks rubriigid: "Mida toob juuli 2020", "August 2020 armastuses", "Rituaal", "Vabane negatiivsest energiast" jne. "Olen ka ise ka üllatunud, kui suur huvi selliste videote vastu on," imestab naine. "Hiljuti hakkasin lisaks üldistele ennustusustele tegema ka personaalseid kaardilugemisi. Loomulikult on minu lemmikteemaks armastus ja suhted." Viisime Mailyga ennustusriduaalid läbi Liipa talus Jõelähtmel, kus oli kohal ka talu peremees, tuntud maratoonar Joel Juht, kes ei usu ei vaime, ennustusi, kaartide panemisest rääkimata. Maily viis Joeli peal läbi taro kaartide rituaali, mis nii mõndagi näinud mehe värisema pani. "Mul olid ihukarvad ehmatusest püsti ja pidin ruumist lahkuma, et maha rahuneda," tunnistas mees hiljem. Maily polnud Joelist kunagi varem midagi kuulnud, kuid pani kaartidega ennustades kümnesse nii mineviku, kui ka oleviku osas. Samuti ennustas kaardipanija Joelile tulevikku. Eks näis, kas läheb täppi...

„Joeli väga keerulise lapsepõlve tõttu oskab ta teiste inimeste mure- ja valupunkte hästi näha ning see on ülioluline,“ räägib saatejuht Reet Linna. “Joel on heas mõttes hull! Ta teeb kõvasti tööd, et midagi saavutada. Minul on põhjust Joeliga absoluutselt rahul olla.” “Kui mulle öeldakse "ei", siis ma võtangi seda kui "ei`d". Kui Joelile öeldakse "ei", siis tema, raibe, enne seljast maha ei roni, kuni talle vastatakse "jah",“ paneb puid juurde tuntud maadlustreener Tiit Uspenski. Tõepoolest, sellel mitmekülgsel noorel mehel on rääkida oma lugu ja see lugu väärib kuulamist ja video vaatamist.

Thank you so much to Martin for commissioning this episode! Y'all. I'm real fucking salty about these chapters. DARLA. MY SWEET WONDERFUL DARLA. I'm so sad that this awesome force of nature has been taken down, and the fact that it was Joeli who did it makes me want to break her in half myself. I really don't know what to think about how the Shipheart works, and part of me is super curious and wants Nona to fuck with it because I just want to see what happens! On the other hand...yikes. What we see of Yisht is scary enough that maybe that's a super bad idea. Also, WHERE IS ZOLE?Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Seekord on ”Ausad mehed” podcasti saates mitme näo ja ametiga spordientusiast, kes on lõpetanud noorsootöötaja eriala ning on valitud korduvalt Tallinna Linna poolt üheks parimaks noorsootöötajaks. Joel ja tema meeskonnd on korraldanud Camp of Hip-Hop laagrit juba 17 aastat järjest, ning samuti on ta mitmel korral korraldanud Tänavakultuurifestivali Jj-Street Baltic Sessionit. Peamiselt tuntakse Joeli tantsija ja koreograafina, kes on tegelenud tänavatantsukultuuri edendamisega Eestis alates 1993. aastast. Ta on olnud Eesti esimese hip-hop-tantsutrupi 34U liige, loonud lauljatele ja ansamblitele koreograafiaid nii Eestis kui ka välismaal, võitnud erinevaid tantsuvõistlusi, töötanud tantsutreenerina ja koregraafina üle 20 aasta ning loonud Eesti esimese tänavatantsukooli JJ-Street Dance Company ja suurima noorteühenduse Urban Style. Lisaks proovinud kätt kokana ja ka kätt Tallinna Vanalinnas miimina. Aastal 2017 aprillis toimus Marokos 247km pikk kõrbemaraton Marathon Des Sables, kus Joel ka osales. Sellest on ta teinud isegi pooletunnise dokumentaalfilmi. Samuti on ta jooksnud Tallinnast - Pärnu, ning kaasa löönud Red Bull Wings For Life heategevusjooksul Tallinnast - Võrru. Sellest oli aga talle vähe ning Joel osales 2019 aastal Esimese eestlasena maailma ekstreemsemail polaarmaratonil Montane Yukon Arctic Ultra Race, mille pikkuseks ligi 700km. Raskemad ajad ja nooruspõlves olevad keerdkäigud on toonud kaasa ka rusikavõitlused ning eeluurimisvanglas istumise. Ka maadlemine, maadlusmatt ja poks ei ole Joelile võõrad terminid. Viimaks on ilmunud Joeli kulgemisest ka raamat nimega ”Võitlus EI-vastustega”. Joel ise on öelnud enda tegemiste kohta, et tema edasiviivaks jõuks on seiklushimu, hirm ja teadmine, et saaksin oma lugude ja kogemuste abil inspireerida veel rohkem inimesi tegutsema, hirmudest jagu saama ja paremaks muutuma. Ja just seda ta täna siin teha aitabki.

Head mõtted Joelilt: "Inimestel on rumal komme proovida kõigega ise hakkama saada – ja seeläbi oma ego upitada. Selle asemel peaks rohkem kaasama teisi, kellel tuleb mõni asi ehk pareminigi välja. Nõukogudeaegne tööjuur on aga meis sügaval sees." „Minu kõige suurem õppetund ettevõtluses on olnud raha küsimine. Kui keegi küsib, kas ma teenin millegagi raha, siis ma ütlen – jah, teenin.“ „Tasuta lõunad on olemas ainult siis, kui sa tahad kehva tulemust.“ "Meil ei ole vabaduse kogemiseks üldse palju vaja. Ei ole vaja kontole miljoneid, sest tegelikult me ei oska seda raha ära kulutada, sageli hakatakse hoopis rumalusi tegema, muututakse ülbeks, raisatakse ja tarbitakse arutult." "Juht peab olema, sest ilma kaptenita (või kahe või enama kapteniga) laev tüürib täiesti valesse suunda."

How  do you decide what to do next? How do you make a decision? My family has a simple question that we ask to make complex decisions and I’m sharing it with you today.   I want to talk about how you decide ANYthing in your business (or life) and a quick question I use to make better decisions. I’m not even going to make you wait, here is the question to ask yourself: Hard now or hard later?  Over the years of making decisions together, from do we want to get pizza delivered or make dinner, to should we buy a new or used car, to should we rent or buy...my husband and I have realized that making decisions is it’s own skill set. To make decisions together, we need to be on the same page about what matters, what our values are, and where we’re going as a family.  And there are a lot of ways to make bad decisions! If you just look at the short-term effect of the decision, if you look at what’s gratifying RIGHT NOW, if you make a decision based on a value that’s not really your own...you end up with a not-great result. Sometimes it doesn’t really matter (should we have ordered that pizza), but sometimes your whole future can turn on a few decisions.  But this is not a marriage advice podcast (maybe I’ll start that next?) this is a handmade business podcast! You make decisions every single day in your business, and I know it is so easy to get stuck wondering “what is the right decision? Does this even matter?” Here’s what you can do to cut through all the stuckness and get right to what matters: Hard now or hard later?  What this means is: Is there a way to make this decision that may be hard now, but will make life easier later? Or if I choose the easier path now, will it make more difficult later?   As an example, let’s look at a decision a lot of us made in our 20s - If I’ve got no money, but I want a pizza or to go out with my friends...should I just get it on a credit card or should I not go out and eat what I have at home? Most of us know that the easier decision is to order a pizza, but we could be paying interest charges on that one pizza for months - it will make the future harder. Or we could make the less fun decision now and have an easier future (with no debt!)   A lot of people are raised to (and parts of our culture encourages us to) make the easy decision now and let your future self deal with it. There’s even a  stand up comedian who jokes about making life harder for your Future Self. Screw that guy, let him deal with it!  So this question - do I want to do the hard thing now or suffer the worse consequences later?    Another way to ask the question is: fun now or fun later?  Do I want to have short-term fun now, and pay for it later? Or make a hard decision now to make it more fun later?  Now, this may not be the question you need. When I was talking about this on a Live in my Facebook group, my friend and life coach Joeli made the point that a lot of people in our community have this misunderstanding that life is “supposed” to be hard. That work is “supposed to be” hard. So they make things hard that don’t have to be hard. I totally know what she means because I see it all the time, this mistrust that things can be easy, work can be filled with ease.  So if that’s you, if you think everything has to be hard, let me flip this question around for you. Next time you make a decision ask yourself: What can I do now to set my Future Self up for success? And how can I make it full of ease and fun?    I used a financial decision as an example, but this can apply to so many thing in your business: Do I want to take the time to schedule my social media for the next two weeks or do I want to have to deal with it every day? Do I want to figure out my numbers and profitability now, or suffer the consequences of selling items at a price that doesn’t actually make sense? Do I want to take the time to identify my market and shape my marketing message or keep trying to do it on the fly and getting more frustrated and disappointed when marketing doesn’t work?  Do I want to confront this problem now (with a supplier, a customer, a friend) or do I want to leave it alone and have a bigger blow-up later?  And if you, like me, are still practicing social distancing or quarantine right now, we’re not out of the decision-making loop. Do I want to give my kids another hour of TV and deal with them bouncing off the walls later? Do I want to mindlessly scroll Twitter now and feel unproductive and stressed later?  Remember, sometimes you need to choose the easy thing. Sometimes you need the rest, sometimes you need to zone out. But the key to building a sustainable business is to give yourself what you need, while still honoring and taking care of your Future Self. 

Corona: de stand van zaken dd 27 maart 2020 + De ervaringen van Joeli, Heidi VE, Jos, Goele, Twan, Manu, Heidi T en Elsje.

How do you keep track of all the moving parts in a recurring or upcoming projects? What if you’re waiting on other people to do their part before you can do your part? I do this with project management apps, so today we’re going to make it a bit less overwhelming and how to pick the software that will help you. This week I’m answering the question that occurs after you make a map - how the heck do I keep track of all the moving parts? You see, in my book Map Your Business and in my Starship Program, you begin by getting clear on your big vision. Then you set a goal and break it down into steps and actionable to-dos. But after you have that big list of what you need to do and the order you need to do them in, then what? How do you make sure you don’t forget the stuff that comes LATER? And that’s where a lot of us get stuck. So for the month of December on the podcast, we’re having a series on planning - the actual figuring out what to do each day and week. Last week we started by talking about how to keep track of the current week and how I use paper planners for that. Today we’ll talk about task management software to keep track of ongoing or recurring projects. Next week, we’ll talk about how to pick your next big project. And we’ll kick off the new year with an episode on January 1, about planning your best year yet. I started using digital planning tools when... I started tracking to-dos digitally in my business, (especially recurring projects like marketing and this podcast), when I hired my first virtual assistant (VA). The easiest way for me to communicate what I did for each project, and to make sure we didn’t miss a single step, was to put it all in a checklist. What I learned right away is that having it down on a checklist made every single task so much faster to do, not just for my VA, but for me too! There’s a whole book about this - The Checklist Manifesto. Basically, knowing exactly what to do next saves you time, it saves you energy thinking of what’s next, and it saves you mistakes. We started out using Evernote, but soon we moved to Asana. Evernote was great at having a checklist, but it didn’t make any reminders or prompt us to do the next step. If you’ve got ANYONE else in your business, even if they’re just super part-time (my VA started at 2 hours a week!), you definitely need some way to communicate tasks, deadlines and checklists. It’s going to give you peace of mind when you can SEE that they’ve done each part of the task, (and you will save time by not having to talk about every single thing, every single time). Now, if you don’t have anyone else in your team, you can still use project management software to keep YOU on top of things. Do YOU need digital planning tools? Here’s how to decide: First, know your projects. I have Starship Captains start by listing ALL of their projects - onetime things they’re working on, recurring projects, the steps to their social media posts, anything they do or plan to do in a month. Then you can split it down into “repeating” and “one-time”. How many things do you have to hand back and forth to someone else? Second, ask yourself - how do you keep track of the repeating tasks now? Maybe you have a paper system that works great (I put my first marketing plan on a post it and just kept the post it on my computer screen). Or maybe you’re forgetting half of every repeating task, or it’s taking you twice as long to remember - in which case, a checklist would be SUPER helpful. You could do the checklist manually or digitally - whichever you’re more likely to see. Third, how do you keep track of next steps for one-time projects? Is that working for you? Would you prefer to be reminded of deadlines or next steps? Captains use project management software to keep track of production, including wholesale orders and show prep. (If you’re in the Starship Community you can ask about how exactly they organize it all!) But WHAT tool do you need? If you’re current tools aren’t working for you, then let’s look at some digital options. Now, before we go any further, I really want to stress one point - NOTHING WORKS UNLESS YOU USE IT. Sometimes we get all wrapped up in finding the “perfect” tool or the one other successful biz owners use, but none of that matters. What matters is if YOU use it or not. The tool that will work best for you is the one you regularly use, put information into, and actually look at. There are so many options for To Do list apps, I’m not even going to get into all the specific options. What you need to know is that a checklist app like ToDoist is different from a note-keeping app that has checklists like Evernote or GoogleKeep, which is different from task management software. I’ve used Evernote and I currently use GoogleKeep to keep track of notes on the fly and checklists related to my personal life. I like that I can save documents, links, checklists, everything in one place. This was great when I was starting - my VA and I created a folder in Evernote for Standard Operating Procedures (we called it the Flight Manual) for everything - from checklists to launch plans, to project mapping. But project management software takes it to the next level by letting you create TASKS. You can give those tasks deadlines, you can create a checklist under the task, and you can set the task to repeat! This is really great if you: Have a project that needs to be done in the exact same way every week or month (like my podcast!) Have a project that is waiting for other people (knitwear designers who use editors, test knitters, etc.) Have a project that needs to be paced out (you need to do step 1 by this date, step 2 by this date, so step 3 can get done by a big deadline.) Using a system for these things: Keeps you on a schedule Takes it off your mind so you’re not trying to remember all the steps before you’d done the next step Prepares you to scale up and do more and bring people on who can do parts of it Helps you visually SEE all you do, which makes you feel accomplished and proud Where to start with digital planning? I recommend most people start with the steps I mentioned earlier - listing the projects you have. And then, making checklists first. Use something like GoogleKeep or Evernote and keep all your checklists together. Once you start to see that you want something to reoccur or repeat, you want to assign just part of the checklist to someone else, then put those checklists into tasks and projects inside a project management program. How I do it Now, I’ve filled this episode with tips for you to figure out what will best help you and with steps for you to follow, I know you will still ask what I use and what I do, so I’ll share my process with you, in hopes that it will inspire you to get going, and not worry about being perfect! I’ve been using Asana for years. It’s totally free and it has all the bells and whistles I need. The initial set-up took a bit of time, and I had to train myself and anyone who works with me to actually USE it regularly, but I’ve been building tasks in it one at a time, and it is a lifesaver. For my weekly projects like this podcast or my weekly emails or blog posts: I think through the task and add every single tiny step to the task (like a checklist) I run through DOING the task once using the checklist and I add anything I forgot I set the task to repeat I’ve learned through the years that if a task has more than one person who’s working on it, I CAN assign subtasks to different people, but it’s easiest to just create separate tasks for each person and then put them in the order they need to be done. For example, I write and record this podcast episode, that’s a task. Jay has a task to edit it. Holly has a task, once it’s been edited and uploaded to take all the pieces - the transcript, the recording, the video, any links and put it all in the blog post. That’s one tasks with quite a long checklist, because the blog post has a lot of moving parts, and she can’t do any of them until we’ve done our part. Now, even if I didn’t have Holly, I would still use this task, to remind MYSELF of what all the steps are. And what’s great about this is now I can hire anyone to do the task. I have to teach them the software involved, but the task even gives me a checklist of what software is involved in all the steps. It was much MUCH harder to start working with people when I had no checklists. Now, when I have a new project, like I started a Facebook group recently (join us! It’s free: fb.com/groups/taraswiger) - I put that in Asana too. Often I’ll talk out the project with Holly or Joeli inside Asana, then I’ll start to put the task list together. Then I keep adding ideas as I have them, then I assign it to people and pace out the due dates so the final project is done when I want it done. The Facebook group is actually a great example, because I’m the only one that worked on it, and yet I still created tasks to mark off as I went because I was learning from a few different sources and wanted to keep all my ideas in one place and then be sure I actually DID them. So that’s how I use project management software in my business to both plan and be sure I follow through on my plans. I’d love to know what apps and tools YOU use and how you plan... and guess what? You can come tell me in the group! Come over to facebook.com/groups/taraswiger  to join makers who are growing in confidence AND in profit, just like you! The group is limited to those who have a creative business, so if that is you, please come join us! And remember to tune in next week where I’ll be sharing how you can choose between all the projects you’re excited to create in 2020.   Listen in at TaraSwiger.com/podcast288

54’000 women face pregnancy discrimination at work every year, so how do we go about changing this and just how easy is it?The Badass ladies are talking to Joeli Brearley who is the founder of “Pregnant Then Screwed”, it started as a campaign after Joeli herself was fired from her job working at a children’s charity whilst 4 months pregnant. Pregnant then screwed is now a force for good supporting women all over the country in similar situations.They’re holding employers responsible for their actions toward pregnant employees, injustice’s that pregnant women face include being made to sign non-disclosure agreements to force silence, Joeli is giving voices to these women and their stories, aiming to change legislation by creating preventive laws like longer paternity leave, flexible working and childcare issues.For information on all your hosts you can click on their names:Harriet MinterNatalie CampbellEmma Sexton If you want to get in touch you can find us on all the socials under this name: @badasswomenshrAnd for more about the podcast head here: https://www.badasswomenshour.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Do you find yourself distracted with how you could have done something better? Or sidetracked thinking about the mistakes you made? Are you just too hard on yourself? Guess what? Me too! Today I’m going to share how I’ve been working on NOT being so hard on myself so I can move forward! Today we’re going to talk about something I’ve gotten so much feedback on: Being hard on yourself. Now, most of us want to be better, right? We want to streamline, optimize, and improve all the time. That’s great and useful...but not when it comes with a dose of beating yourself over everything that needs to be improved and optimized. Not if you’re getting so bogged down in what’s “wrong” that you can’t shift into action. This is on my mind because a  few days ago I posted on Instagram Stories, that I noticed that I am really hard on myself when it comes to basically every parenting interaction. I'm always thinking: Oh, I could have done that better...I should have reacted differently...Ugh, I wish I had stayed calmer. (What sparked this conversation was how I feel about parenting decisions, but we’re going to talk about all aspects of life, and especially your business, so you don’t need to be a parent to learn something! I’m brand new at being a parent, and I think a lot of what I’m experiencing is how it feels to be brand-new and learning at ANYTHING. It certainly reflects the lessons I was learning as a brand-new businesswoman!) When I posted on Instagram Stories I got a lot of replies to my question about being hard on myself and I want to talk about them with the whole community, because they represent two different ways to look at the issue. First, let’s talk about what I mean about “being hard on myself”. What I’m talking about is when something happens or you make a choice and you think: I should have handled that better. I shouldn’t have done X. I should have done Y. Now, that thought alone isn’t necessarily the problem. The problems come in when there is judgement (I’m bad because I did X), when there is intensity (OMG THAT WAS HORRIBLE) and when these thoughts are frequent (if you can’t move forward because you can’t let go of the “mistakes” you made). For example, one of the parenting things I thought was a mistake, I could NOT let it go. For the whole day I go over and over the morning in my head: What happened? Why didn't I ...? Why didn't I..? I should have... (By the way, I want to mention that if you have intrusive or looping thoughts, talk to a therapist, you can get help.) So that’s being hard on yourself, and for me it comes in the framework of my Generalized Anxiety Disorder, where my anxiety-brain runs away with itself. When I posted about it I got two different kinds of replies: Half the replies said: This is what motherhood is! Get used to always feeling not good enough! And the other half of the replies said: here are some resources for negative self-talk. Whether it's challenging negative thoughts or learning to talk kinder to yourself. And both of these are interesting because they show different perspectives. One says “this is how it always is” and the other says “you can change this”. I know that part of what "get used to it" means is, I'm not alone. That this is a part of doing anything new, and it's a part of almost every aspect of a woman's life - this constant sense that you SHOULD be better, that you COULD do better and that it's your job to be the absolute best. Our world is filled with messages telling us: eat better, manage your time better, improve your hair, eyes, waist, kids behavior. Earn more money. Buy better stuff. Tidy up the stuff you do buy. I don't think any of us should just accept that we never feel good enough. I think we can accept that there are a lot of messages in the media and on Instagram, Pinterest, and even among friends that tell us NOT to feel good enough. Our world is filled with this message and then we reiterate these messages to ourselves...but I don't want to believe that it has to be like this forever, that I just need to resign myself to this mindset. Although I know “you’re not alone, this is what it feels like” messages are meant to be encouraging, I just don't want to live like this. It's not sustainable (in this intensity.) Just because the world tells you that you need to be better doesn’t mean you need to tell YOURSELF that you need to be better. So, I'm moving forward with the belief that it doesn't have to be like this. Now the second set of responses were: challenge those negative thoughts! And this was interesting because I was not even recognizing what I'm doing as negative thoughts. It feels more like...hmm, just a running commentary of what could be better. Almost positive like: you could improve it this way! This could be smoother next time! Optimize! Streamline! IMPROVE! HOWEVER improving and optimizing CAN be helpful...but when the underlying message is "Not good enough! Not good enough!" ...that's not helpful or beneficial. I kept telling myself that these weren't negative thoughts, they were just kind of insistent. Like the messaging of my whole life combined with anxiety leads to insistent, pervasive sense of doom. And then I realized: Wait, if this is anxiety, I know what can help with anxiety: challenging those thoughts and rewriting them. This is known as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and studies show that it’s one of the most effective therapies at dealing anxiety and depression. CBT has this concept of "cognitive distortions," ways that you’re seeing the situation through a distortion. You recognize the distortion, then rewrite the thought without the distortion. So I checked to see if this "you should be better at X" fits in with any of the cognitive traps. I used my Moodnotes app because it makes it super simple. Here are the cognitive distortions that applied: Negative filtering: Only seeing the bad Downplaying positive: dismissing positive qualities by telling yourself they are unimportant or do not count All or nothing thinking: it either went wonderfully or was a failure. You either have a relaxed and happy kid or you're failing at it all. Blaming: Blaming myself for anything that happens, even stuff I can't control. Do you see how these distortions can apply to your own “hard on yourself” thoughts? Now, I shared all this in an Instagram Live (follow me so you don’t miss any! I’m @TaraSwiger) and my friend Joeli pointed out something big I had been missing. The thought that needs rewriting isn’t just “you should be better/you’re not enough” but the belief that I even made a mistake to begin with. I’m assuming (wrongly) that any unwanted outcome (with my child or my business) is because of some mistake I made. The other way to look at this is that it's not a mistake. You can't control all outcomes through your actions alone. For example, maybe if you would have done more IG post about your new product, you would have sold 1 more. But maybe you wouldn't have. You can't assume you know the outcome and then beat yourself up over what you don't know. The thought the rewrite with CBT: It was a mistake that I X. The cognitive distortions: Fortune-telling, where you believe you know what would have happened. A rewritten thought: I don't know that it was a mistake that I X. I can try something different next time. Another thing that came up while talking about this with friends is...depression. Depression lies. It tells you: You suck. This will never be better. It is your fault it's not going better and there's nothing to be done/you can't fix it. Because you suck. This is a cognitive distortion. And if you have clinical depression, just rewriting your thoughts might not be enough. You may need an intervention from a specialist. I'm telling you this not because you suck, but so you know: YOU CAN GET HELP FOR THIS. Start by going to your primary care physician, your family doctor, and explain what's going on. They can recommend a therapist or an intervention. If you have a therapist, tell them about this. More than anything, I want you to know that you are not alone and it won't always be like this. If it's hard and you think it's because you suck, you don't have to just accept that truth. If you feel inundated with messages that tell you you're not enough, you're not alone. You can unsubscribe from or turn off some of those messages. You can start to notice when those messages come at you and challenge them right then. (Studies have found that one of the best ways to shift the negative effect of advertising on girls it to talk about what the advertisement is selling right when you see it. I bet this works on yourself as well. "Oh this ad is telling me that the whites of my eyes need to be whiter? It's coming up with another thing I need to fix about myself. Hmm, maybe the whites of my eyes are not as important as the love I show in my life?"). If you are hard on yourself, you're not alone. Take a breath. Rewrite the thought. I think you are doing an AMAZING job in your life. You are enough. I hope you continue your day knowing that you are enough and you get to be enthusiastic about your life and your business.   Listen in at TaraSwiger.com/podcast246

Do you always seem to be coming down with some cold or bug? Do you feel exhausted all the time? When you sit down to work, do you find it difficult to focus and get distracted by Facebook and social media? Do you find yourself struggling to get motivated to send your newsletter or record that video? Well, stay tuned, because today we are going to talk about the one factor that might be the reason for all of those things. I'm Joeli Kelly, and I'm filling in for Tara for this episode Today I want to touch on something I've been severely affected by and see affecting my friends on a pretty much daily basis: stress. Firstly, let's define what stress is: Stress is an extra physiological demand on your body. It can be physical, environmental, or emotional and it can be painful or pleasurable. Basically, stress is anything that disrupts our current state of being. Next, we need to talk about our nervous system. The parasympathetic nervous system maintains normal functions when we are not under stress. It keeps the heart rate at a reasonable pace, supports healthy digestion and relaxes our muscles. But when we are under stress, the sympathetic nervous system kicks in and starts responding to that stress so that we stay alive. One of the ways the body reacts to stress is by releasing stress hormones. When we experience a stressor, the adrenal glands get a message to release noradrenaline, adrenaline, and/or cortisol depending on the situation and the perceived threat. When the stress is gone, everything is supposed to go back to normal. These hormones affect more than the areas we might think they do. For example, we all have probably experienced a moment of stress that sent our heart rate soaring, made our breathing get shallow, and our palms get sweaty. But there are other effects that are less obvious. The hormone cortisol regulates the metabolism of proteins, fats and carbs. It gets released because in times of stress the body wants us to start using up the fastest available energy first. So cortisol instructs our bodies to release a flood of glucose and then it also inhibits insulin production, so the glucose is used and not stored. This is good if the stress is short-term like during a workout, but pretty bad if we are experiencing chronic stress. What are some examples of chronic stress? Not sleeping enough. Not eating a nutritious diet. Being in a job with a lot of pressure or high demands (even if these high demands only come from ourselves). Going through times of uncertainty or significant change or very emotional times like grief and loss. Dealing with worry about money and finances. Long-term stress (either chronic or too many periods of acute stress like overexercising) starts to affect our physical well being. It can cause headaches & muscle pain, and fatigue. Stress affects the absorption of nutrients, raises levels of stomach acid (causing heartburn and stomach upset), and can cause inflammation in the intestines - there is a significant link between IBS and stress. It can also cause sleep problems and a lowered immune system. So if you're getting sick all the time, you're most likely under too much stress. It also affects our mood due to its effect on other hormones in our body which causes us to feel anxiety, unmotivated, unfocused, overwhelmed, irritable, and depressed. I don't want to get into too many details here, but you can research further how stress affects serotonin levels for example (which it's been shown that low levels lead to anger control issues, depression, migraines and IBS.) The main point is that stress affects our body physically by raising certain hormone levels and affects our emotional well being by lowering the levels of other hormones, and long-term this can be very damaging. Now stress is normal, and in the short term can even be good (for example our muscles grow and get stronger by first being stressed through exercise), and we are never going to eliminate all stress. That's absolutely not the goal. The goal is to balance things out. We all know that after we exercise we should stretch and rest. The same is true for other areas of our life. If we have a stressful job, then we need to balance that out with something that brings the scale back to the center. There is a chemical our brain makes called GABA which is an inhibitor - basically, it lowers the activity of other cells, particularly those that cause anxiety - which in turn helps us relax and balances our mood. If we don't have enough of it, it leads to anxiety disorders. (Many drugs that are anti-depressants work by interacting with GABA and its receptors.) One of the things we can do to balance periods of stress is to get our body producing more of this chemical and others, like serotonin that we mentioned earlier. There are many ways to achieve this balance, but I'm going to touch on six that I think are easy enough for everyone to do. The first way is exercise. Yes, too much exercise actually raises our stress levels, but you should be moving your body in some way every day. Exercise releases serotonin and dopamine and helps burn off some of the excess energy that our body creates as a response to stress. Doing gentle exercise like walking and yoga is an excellent option if you don't want to do anything too strenuous. The next way is getting enough sleep. You need a minimum of 7 hours, with 8-9 being the ideal. The importance of getting good quality, restful sleep really can't be emphasized enough. It's a time for our body to rest and reset. Third, diet and hydration. I know this is a bit boring. But poor nutrition and dehydration add stress to the body. So drink water, eat your fruit and veg, get your B12, Vitamin D, Omegas and maybe add a probiotic if gut health is a concern. Of course, a doctor or qualified nutritionist should be consulted if you need specific advice in this area. Fourth, meditation. Meditation has been shown to increase levels of GABA and reduce levels of cortisol and noradrenaline. Studies show that 20 minutes a day is ideal, but honestly, 5-10 minutes is going to do you wonders. Even one minute of focused breathing can help calm down our stress responses. Fifth, connecting with friends. A lot of times when our anxiety is high, or our mood is really low we withdraw from our friends and social situations. This is actually really counterproductive. Studies have shown that when we spend time with friends our cortisol levels go down and endorphins are released. Basically spending time with friends, having fun, and talking about our problems is vital for balancing out our stress. Lastly, having a hobby. Having something that is fun and we can look forward to can be really helpful for managing stress. Hobbies might bring us into social situations, or it might be something we do alone. But if it's fun and feels relaxing, then it's worth doing. (Note: mindlessly watching TV that we don't really enjoy doesn't count nor does binge-watching Netflix for long periods of time.) Now we can carry on for months and months in our high-stress lives, and not think of anything of it until something happens which forces us to rest. When that illness or burnout hits, we might turn to things like mediation and healthy eating to help us get back on track. But then when we start feeling better, our healthy habits start to slip away again, and we go back to the grind. Please don't do this. Please don't wait for things in your life to slow down before you rest, or say "well I just get through this launch and then I'll rest." Because you know and I know, that you most likely won't rest. You'll find something else to throw yourself into. And meanwhile, the stress builds and builds in your body. Start getting yourself back in balance today. Now, we all are aware that knowing what to do and actually doing it are two different things. If you: need help identifying the habits that would make the most significant difference to your life want to design an action plan that you're actually excited about would like to understand your motivation style so you can actually get stuff done and want to be held accountable along the way, so you actually follow through with it all then you might want to work with a coach. You can google "wellness life coach" to find people trained in this area, or you can get in touch with me! I've been helping women create lives they love for the past few years, and nothing would make me happier than to see all women reduce a bit of the stress in their lives. (After all, we can't smash the patriarchy if we're all burnt out!) I offer a free 20-minute introductory chat so we can talk more -- you can email me hello@joelicreates.com or find me on Instagram (I'm @joelicreates there) if you would like to chat more.

I dramatically simplified my business this summer. Today I'm going to share what I did and more importantly, how you can simplify your business in just a few questions (but a lot of heavy thinking). As you know if you’ve been listening for awhile, we’re getting ready to become foster parents and one way we’re preparing is by getting very clear about what our priorities are. Now, before you start worrying, my business is a big priority. Not only because it pays 100% of our bills, but because I LOVE IT. I love the podcast, I love helping you guys, and I love what I do. But, over the 8 years since I started creating my courses and books, my site has just kept expanding and expanding and I have kept added new stuff (something every 6 months or so!) without editing anything down and looking at it all in one go. So if you’ve been business in a while, your business might need a spring (or autumn) cleaning as well! I’ll share what I simplified my business into and will suggest some questions that can help you simplify if you need to. My mission: Help women make empowering decisions in their income, their enthusiasm, and their emotional help. First, I identified my favorite bits + my long term goals: My mission means I really just want to do two things: Helping people build businesses (Starship and mentoring through my doTERRA business) Helping people take care of themselves via emotional wellness. I most like to: Write Talk Create community and culture that encourages support and friendliness. Second, I got  clear on what are the BEST ways I can do those things: (I did this with the help of Joeli, of JoeliCreates.com, who does 1:1 sessions if you need some clarity.) Podcasts allow me to communicate important, helpful stuff clearly Instagram gives me interaction and connection and allows me to provide daily bits of encouragement. My classes are MOST helpful when they build on each other, when you're focusing on what matters, as opposed to one-by-one, so I put them together in the Starship Program. Community is my favorite place to be and let's me go deeper with clients. I have the Starship Community to help makers and artists and students in the Program, and the Enthusiasm Builders community to help people who have wellness based businesses with doTERRA. I'm still working on the best way I can help people take care of themselves, via essential oils (ie, in-person classes, webinars, FB groups, etc). I'm measuring the impact, both in the moment and ongoing. So far in-person classes and video consultations are the best, but I'm still experimenting around this. Third, I stripped all my offerings down to the work that does the two things I want to be doing (helping women build businesses, and take care of their emotional wellness): The podcasts encourage people, for free. Explore Your Enthusiasm helps you in your business, Take Care of Yourself does it in your self-care. So I do them and then have a system for sharing them (on iTunes, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram) You can get my classes and my help via group coaching inside the Starship (not open now), and that's it - you can't buy my classes separately anymore (because I'm stripping down to what's most effective) I don't sell books from my website anymore. My books are the easiest way to get started working on your goals or your marketing, but ME shipping them is the least effective way to get them to you. Amazon is super efficient. Only 1:1 consultations (which are free!) to help you make a daily plan for self-care and emotional wellness, using essential oils. Workshops and group coaching for people building a doterra business. The even more boiled down version is this: I just do a few things now: Podcast, IG, consult with people about self-care and help people build businesses via group coaching - either in SS or for their doterra business. Questions to ask yourself to simplify, re-calculate your path, or just get some clarity: What is your mission? (Who are you here to help? How do you do that?) (Learn more about your Mission here) What do you long term want to be doing? What actions do you most like? What are the specific ways you do that? What are the most EFFECTIVE ways you do that? What can you let go of to focus more that? Is this guiding you towards where you want to go? I hope these questions help you simplify your business and I hope you enjoy all that I’ve got at TaraSwiger.com.   Listen in at TaraSwiger.com/podcast224

For Episode 6 of Reworked, Rachael travelled to Levenshulme in Manchester to look up an old friend who has turned her passion for workplace equality into real purpose. Joeli Brearley launched the Pregnant Then Screwed campaign three years ago as a forum for women to share their stories about how they were treated by employers while pregnant or returning to work after the birth of a child. I'm interested to hear Joeli's own personal story that gave her the impetus to get started. But also to understand more about how a passion becomes a project, how that project becomes a lobbying campaign with impact, and then a movement which captures the hearts and minds of working parents around the world. Joeli Brearley founded the Pregnant Then Screwed campaign after a personal experience of discrimination when pregnant with her first child. The campaign now operates internationally and lobbies for legislative and organisational modernisation to ensure recognition, respect and change for working mums and dads. Connect with Joeli on Twitter. You're listening to Reworked, the EW Group podcast on workplace culture. For more on EW Group and the work we do to build inclusive cultures, follow us on Twitter.

Allison finished both her Grown Up Booties and She's a Waterfall projects since the last episode and is back on her Gradient Pullover and now on the third and final band of colour. She's also been crocheting squares for a new sample of the crochet project from the London Craft Guide. Knitlandia Clara Parkes' new book Knitlandia: A Knitter Sees the World comes out on February 16th and we were incredibly lucky to have a chat with Clara when she was visiting London back in December. Our topics veer from Knitter's Review to her books (Knitters Book of Yarn, Knitters book of Wool and Knitters Book of Socks) to her Great White Bale project and first foray into Clara Yarn. Following our interview we talk about some of our favourite essays from the book.

Now that we’re a few weeks into 2016 we’re curious as to how you’re all doing with your resolutions or goals for this year. We’ve also been doing some thinking about our own plans for Yarn in the City this year and had our own thoughts that we wanted to share with you.  Shout outs:  C. C. from the Geeky Girls Podcast. The Dublin Brooks Hotel Knit Night, who introduced Alli to the beers of Galway Hooker. Best. Brewery. Name. Ever. What’s Happening:  30th January - Renée Callahan of East London Knit will be teaching Brioche Basics and Brioche Next Steps classes at A Yarn Story in Bath. 30th January - Woolly Wormhead is teaching two classes at Knit With Attitude, a Knitting in the Round Masterclass and her Turning Sideways class. 31st January - there is a Learn to Darn class happening at Wild & Woolly. Participants are encouraged to bring a woolen garment that needs mending and will learn both invisible and decorative techniques by a professional Japanese clothes mender.  4th-7th February – the annual French stitching show L’Aiguille en Fete takes place at the Porte de Versailles in Paris. This show is jammed with all kinds of inspiration! 5th – 7th February – Purlescence is hosting a weekender featuring the KNITSONIK Colourwork and Bespoke Yokes workshops with our good friends Felicity Ford and Brenda Dayne. If you missed Gwlana last fall, Felicity and Brenda are cramming their classes into two full days (and a Friday evening kick off) at Purlescence’s new location in Oxfordshire.   6th - 7th February – Rachel is teaching an Introduction to Drop Spindling and How to Knit a Sexy Sweater class at A Yarn Story.  10th February – It’s the next Late Night Knitty Lock-in of 2016 over at Wild & Woolly. Check out the details on their website.  13th - 14th February – Cécile Balladino is teaching her Eclectic Gipsyland crochet class at Loop. These are the same class but offered on two different days. The class will teach Cécile’s techniques for lace motifs, joining as you go, surface crochet and more. This is not a beginner’s class and you will be expected to already know how to crochet.  20th February – For those of you up north, Karie Westermann is teaching her Two-Handed Colourwork for Fair Isle and Nordic Style Colourwork class at Be Inspired Fibres in Edinburgh.   19th - 21st February – Unravel is happening at Farnham Maltings. We will be there with two stands – a joint Porpoise Fur/Yarn in the City stand where we will be debuting the London Craft Guide! We’ve just found out that our stand will be located in the Barley Room, so we do hope you’ll come and say hello!  26th - 28th February – Joeli’s Kitchen Retreat in Manchester. Featuring classes with Kate Atherley, Karie Westermann, Joeli and other great teachers, as well as a mini marketplace on the Sunday that will include Countess Ablaze.  Giveaway: Speaking of Unravel – we still have a pair of tickets to giveaway. To enter, leave a comment in the show notes for Episode 28 and let us know what you’re looking forward to seeing at the show. We’ll draw a name on February 1st and announce the winner on the first podcast episode in February. Contest note: this pair of tickets is for a single day’s entry to the show and does not include any travel to Farnham. Good luck!  Save the Date! We’ve finally figured out the date for this year’s Great London Yarn Crawl,which will be held on Saturday, 10th September. Mark the date in your calendars now and stay tuned for more details this spring!  What we’re working on: Rachel is working on a sample of the Waterloo Mitts, our pattern from the London Craft Guide, in Eden Cottage Yarns Whitfeld DK. She is also working up her Knit a Sexy Sweater class sample by knitting the Middlefield Pullover by Melissa LaBarre from New England Knits, in Elann Peruvian Highland Chunky. She's finished knitting her Dark & Stormy, but the buttons and grosgrain ribbon are still to be done. She's finished spinning for the first Unravel hat and is almost ready to cast on. The first stage of the project is in her Design Diaries segment on her blog. Allison has her first FO of 2016 off the needles – the Quaking Aspen shawl by Courtney Kelley. She’s also finished spinning some Porpoise Fur handspun from the Lab Goddess Fibre Club and is working it up into the Grown Up Booties by Ysolda. She is also almost finished with her She’s a Waterfall shawl by Dani Sunshine.  2016 - The Do-Over: After last episode’s chat about themes for the year and having a focus for this year, we decided that we wanted to come up for one for our year. There are already lot’s of things out about being creative this year, all of which are great. But we were wondering if there was something we could do that would tie in to what Yarn in the City is all about. We also wanted it to be something that anyone could take part in, no matter how big or small, and in whatever way felt right and personal to them.  We’ve been inspired by Calgary, Canada’s mayor Naheed Nenshi, who challenged his council and the citizens of Calgary to do Three Things for their community as a way to increase civic engagement (an overview here). The idea was simple: if there are over a million people in the city of Calgary and every person did three things to make the city better –image how amazing an already great city would be.  When we were thinking about what we wanted to focus on in 2016 we looked back to the things and themes that resonated with us last year. And they were stories of people within our yarn and fibre community doing great stuff that makes it better for everyone. Whether it’s people who are spreading the passion of wool like the Wovember team, or podcasters likeShinybees and Curious Handmade, who demonstrate than knitting podcasts can build community, or show organisers like Jo and Mica who saw a void in their own community and created the Edinburgh Yarn Festival to fill it.  As a community we’re sharing knowledge and learning from each other and asking questions. So this year we want to encourage you to do three things for the world wide yarn and fibre community. Think about what is important to you. Think about what you’re good at. Talk to your friends and figure out how you can make a difference, however small.  Then we’d like you to do those things, and tell us about them on a dedicated Three Things for the yarn and fibre community thread on our Ravelry board, or on our Facebook page. You can even tweet or Instagram at us. Use the hashtag#3thingsforyarnlove so we can see what you're up to and cheer you on! And once you've done three things, do three more, and three more, and three more...
