26 MAR 2025 · In this episode, we’re bringing you a live recording from our International Women's Day, Women on Top event at the W Hotel in Edinburgh with the incredible https://www.linkedin.com/in/laurencurrie/, founder ofhttps://www.weareupfront.com/. Lauren’s mission is to revolutionise confidence for 10 million women, and her work has already empowered thousands to step forward and own their voices.
Lauren dives into the realities of being a confident woman in a world that doesn’t always support it. We explore the fact that 28% of women who run their own businesses charge less than their male counterparts – a direct result of being conditioned to undervalue ourselves. Lauren shares her advice on how to break free from this mindset and start charging what you’re truly worth.

21 JAN 2025 · We receive a huge number of requests daily from members asking for family law help and wanted to offer more support.

Shona has supported many individuals through the complexities of divorce and relationship breakdowns.

Shona provides fantastic advice on these key questions and more, sharing insights into everything from the emotional aspects of divorce to navigating legal rights and responsibilities.
This episode isn’t just about marriage breakdowns, though. Shona also discusses the important issues that arise when a cohabiting couple splits and how to safeguard your interests in these situations too.
