In this episode of Strings to Your Bow, Chloe Weatherhead is joined by Nicole, founder of BLiB Networking, a thriving community built to support women in business.

Nicole shares her journey from launching BLiB in 2022 to building a supportive, down-to-earth network where collaboration and genuine connection are at the heart of everything. Along the way, she opens up about the realities of being a new mum and how that life change is reshaping the way she runs her business.

This conversation is all about community, courage, and creating a business that truly fits around life — not the other way around.

Key takeaways from this episode:

• Building a network doesn’t have to feel corporate — warmth and authenticity attract the right people.
• Community and collaboration can be the foundation for business growth.
• Becoming a parent reshapes priorities, but it can also spark fresh ideas and new directions.

In this episode of Strings to Your Bow, host Chloe Weatherhead is joined by Jasmine Clarke, founder of Zest Productivity, senior accredited executive coach, and host of the Productivity with Zest podcast.

Jasmine shares her journey from studying psychology and working in the charity sector, to building her own businesses and eventually launching Zest Productivity in 2025. With her no-nonsense yet kind approach, she helps busy professionals and business owners cut through the chaos, focus on what truly matters, and avoid burnout.

From childhood entrepreneurial ventures (yes, even Tamagotchi babysitting!) to balancing family life, podcasting, and her coaching practice, Jasmine reveals how her experiences have shaped her passion for productivity. She talks candidly about the importance of knowing your priorities, building habits that stick, and redefining productivity as more than just hustle — it’s about creating space for freedom and joy.

Key takeaways from this episode:

• Productivity isn’t about doing more — it’s about focusing on what matters most.
• Family, upbringing, and personal passions can have a powerful influence on entrepreneurial drive.
• Balance is an ongoing practice, not a perfect formula — and it looks different for everyone.
• Growth comes from a mix of relentless optimism, curiosity, and a willingness to adapt.
