In this episode of Looks Like We Made It, I’m joined by Beth Hutton, who shares the story behind her journey from performing arts into running her own social media management business.

Beth speaks openly about the life experiences that shaped her — including going through a kidney transplant, and the impact it had on her health, perspective, and direction. She also shares the “why” behind becoming her own boss: after the heartbreaking loss of her son Theo, who was born premature and sadly died, Beth channelled her grief into building a life with more autonomy, purpose, and meaning.

This is a powerful, human conversation about resilience, reinvention, and what it really looks like to keep going — and create something of your own — when life changes everything.

In this episode, we cover:

• Beth’s transition from performing arts into social media management
• What it’s like navigating life and recovery after a kidney transplant
• Grief, identity, and finding purpose after loss
• Why entrepreneurship can be about freedom as much as ambition
• Building a business that fits your life — not the other way around

Motherhood changes everything — your body, your brain, your time, your confidence… and yet you’re still expected to keep showing up, running a business, and posting online like nothing’s happened.

In this episode of Looks Like We Made It, we’re joined by Charlotte Price from RunFree PR for an honest conversation about balancing motherhood with entrepreneurship. Together, we get into what mum guilt really feels like, how we navigate the physical and mental impacts of parenthood, and what it takes to stay consistent on social media when you’re carrying a lot behind the scenes.

We also talk about comparison — how easy it is to measure real life against “perfect” people online — and the mindset shifts that help us stay grounded in what’s true.

If you’re a mum building a business (or you love one), this episode will make you feel seen — and a little less alone.

What do you do when the world goes quiet — and people still need comfort, connection, and something to hold onto?

In this powerful episode of Looks Like We Made It, I’m joined by Steven Udale: performer, wedding and funeral celebrant, and children’s book author — often nicknamed “the best voice in the North East.”

During lockdown, Steven began reading children’s bedtime stories live on Facebook, helping families through the hardest days of the pandemic. And as those broadcasts grew, something unexpected happened: viewers started requesting specific stories and readings to help them relax, switch off, and even fall asleep.

We talk about the power of the human voice, why storytelling lands so deeply, and what it means to show up for people at the most important moments of their lives — from joyful weddings to deeply personal funeral ceremonies. Steven also shares how he’s stayed grounded and positive through challenging seasons, and why kindness and creativity still matter more than ever.

If you’ve ever needed a reminder of how much impact one person (and one voice) can have — this one’s for you.
