Sanity, Strength & Starting Over: One Mother's Mission to Prioritise Mental Health

Season 2 · Episode 18

Thursday, January 1, 2026 • Duration 27:07

In this uplifting and deeply personal episode of Women's Business Voice, we meet the founder of Sanity Daily, a Top 10 UK mental health blog and award-winning podcast. Her story is one of survival and self-discovery - navigating 17 tumours, divorce, single motherhood, and the challenges of starting life afresh in a new country.

Through her own healing journey, she found purpose in helping others reclaim their mental well-being. With a strong background in corporate and higher education, she shifted gears entirely - becoming a certified NLP Practitioner, Mental Health First Aider, a certified yoga and meditation practitioner and passionate advocate for women’s emotional wellness. Her Therapeutic Journal is now a lifeline for mothers seeking calm, clarity, and connection in the chaos of daily life.

This episode is a gentle yet powerful reminder that self-care is not selfish—it’s survival. And through storytelling, journaling, and community, we can begin to heal what the world so often tells us to hide.

‘Programmed Inequality’: Women in Technology

Season 3 · Episode 11

Monday, December 1, 2025 • Duration 32:01

From Side Hustles to Empires - Histories of Women’s Working Lives, featuring a series of conversations between Dr Amy Edwards and a range of expert historians. Women were once Britain’s largest computing workforce and a hidden engine of growth in the world of technology. Dr Mar Hicks will explain the ‘gender flip’ that occurred in the world of computing in the 1960s and 1970s, and what this meant for the thousands of women who worked in science and technology.Dr Amy EdwardsAmy is a senior lecturer in Modern British History at the University of Bristol, where she has worked for the past 10 years. Her research focuses on how ‘ordinary people’ experience large economic changes and how people in the past worked, saved, spent, and invested their money. Her first book, Are We Rich Yet? Told the story of how the worlds of business and finance became part of our day-to-day culture. It looked at things like the business press, financial advice columns, investment based boardgames, and the popularity of the filofax in the 1980s. But more recently she has been carrying out a research project that looks at the lives of self-employed women from the 1950s to the 2000s. Professor Mar HicksMar Hicks is an Associate Professor at the University of Virginia’s School of Data Science. Their research explores histories of computing, large-scale digital infrastructures and the relationship of both to wider society. They’ve published a number of books on this topic, including a recent edited collection called Your Computer is on Fire and their award-winning book, Programme Inequality: How Britain Discarded Women Technologists and Lost Its Edge in Computing. Both have this real interest in using the history of technology to help us address our current problems with digital structures and technology. Their current project looks more closely at the ways people have resisted powerful digital and technological systems. So hopefully they can tell us more about some of this work today, as well as to teach us something about about what it was like to be a woman working in computing in the twentieth century..See this and other episodes in the series at https://womensbusiness.club/s/voice

Perhaps most relevant for today, however, is Lucy’s current project on the history of employment and labour for disabled people in twentieth century Britain.

From Finance to Feminine Wealth & Purpose

Season 2 · Episode 16

Thursday, November 6, 2025 • Duration 35:22

In this deeply reflective episode of Women's Business Voice, we speak with Eglė Aleknavičiūtė—Wealth, Business & Purpose Strategist—whose journey from a small town in Lithuania to a high-flying finance career in the Netherlands took an unexpected and transformative turn. After years in corporate finance, Eglė realised that something crucial was missing—not just in her career, but in the way many women approach wealth. Her personal evolution through motherhood, subconscious healing, and purpose work led her to redefine success—not as numbers on a spreadsheet, but as self-worth, energy, and alignment. Today, she helps heart-led women across the world break free from limiting beliefs, rewrite their money stories, and build wealth rooted in authenticity and empowerment. Join us for a powerful conversation on feminine wealth, purpose, and the kind of healing that changes everything—not just for one woman, but for generations to come.

Monday, November 3, 2025 • Duration 30:54

From Side Hustles to Empires - Histories of Women’s Working Lives, featuring a series of conversations between Dr Amy Edwards and a range of expert historians.

Amy is a senior lecturer in Modern British History at the University of Bristol, where she has worked for the past 10 years. Her research focuses on how ‘ordinary people’ experience large economic changes and how people in the past worked, saved, spent, and invested their money. Her first book, Are We Rich Yet?

She’s working on an upcoming article about sex advice quizzes in women’s magazines, and she also recently contributed to an exhibition on gender, identity and culture at Bristol Museum. When she’s not busy doing all of that, she researches how to make university-level teaching more inclusive, impactful, and engaging.

Women of Innovation: Women Scientists

Season 3 · Episode 6

Monday, October 27, 2025 • Duration 26:23

From Side Hustles to Empires - Histories of Women’s Working Lives, featuring a series of conversations between Dr Amy Edwards and a range of expert historians.

In this episode this we’re going to take a look at the world of science, experiments, and scientific discovery. Although we might not consider scientists traditional entrepreneurs, they have often been lauded by society as innovators, as creators, and as performing a role not dissimilar to entrepreneurs. It’s also one of those worlds that we often associate historically with men. So to help us think about scientific research as work, and to unpick the role of gender in that field, we’re lucky to be joined today by Dr Andrew Flack.

Dr Amy Edwards

Amy is a senior lecturer in Modern British History at the University of Bristol, where she has worked for the past 10 years. Her research focuses on how ‘ordinary people’ experience large economic changes and how people in the past worked, saved, spent, and invested their money. Her first book, Are We Rich Yet? Told the story of how the worlds of business and finance became part of our day-to-day culture. It looked at things like the business press, financial advice columns, investment based boardgames, and the popularity of the filofax in the 1980s. But more recently she has been carrying out a research project that looks at the lives of self-employed women from the 1950s to the 2000s.

Dr Andrew Flack

Andy is an environmental historian who studies the relationship between the human and non human animal world. His current project - and forthcoming book - looks at the ways that naturalists discovered new ways of trying to access and understand dark environments and the animals who inhabited them. Some of this work came from a recent project he ran which used histories of ability, technology, emotions and scientific discovery to help us think about our understandings of disability and ability today. The book is called Dark Natures: Finding Life in the Shadows, and I think it will be out in the coming year or so, and it’s going to be fabulous.
