I’m so glad I found the time to listen to this interview. What came through for me (now retired)is how young women are much more creative now when working out how it’s possible to earn a living, have a home life and yet still feel fulfilled BUT being realistic about perfectionism. I’m sure there are many in the world of work who can learn so much from this conversation.

I loved this conversation - two old friends chatting about life and work! It was particularly heartening to hear that Judith enjoys teaching, I can imagine that her real world knowledge and experience are fantastic for this.

This was a great listen. Isn’t it interesting how we can know people for years, and can still learn new things about them? The monthly billing bit has given me an idea 🌱

Thanks for taking the time to listen, Naomi and I'm glad Judith has inspired you! It's true, there's always new things to learn about people we know well.

This was a great interview, I really enjoyed it. I was really happy when Judith mentioned how graphic designers work and how we need to get into a zone... that is sooooo true! I try and explain it to my partner/kids and they don't get it 🙄😆 Also, the point about saying yes and figuring it out later 👍 I've been trying to do this more lately and its working! I used to think that I had to have everything worked out and perfect before saying yes to anything and I would miss all kinds of opportunities - to be fair, if I'm honest, I was probably shitting myself a bit too! 🙈🤣

Thanks so much listening, Eva, and I'm so pleased you enjoyed it.

It's great that you're saying yes more and figuring things out as you go. It can definitely be daunting (and sometimes terrifying) but the more we work this muscle the easier it gets, right? At least that's what I'm hoping!

Yes, exactly.. like coming along to your fab audio workshop today.. I was nervous, but I did it and I’m so glad I did 👍 I’m hoping I will just get more and more comfortable each time 🤞

I’m fine once I get into the flow, but like so many things, it’s the thought of doing it that’s nerve wracking!

Thanks so much for coming along! If it makes you feel any better, I was very nervous and a few minutes before the session started was thinking ‘what am I doing?’ But then I got into the flow and really enjoyed it.
