On Tuesday, a professional goal became reality — I was live on Radio 4.

Truthfully, it wasn’t exactly the fantasy I’ve pictured…

I called in to You & Yours to share my perspective on childcare provision.

But I was on air for all of 77 seconds.

And yes, I did mention I run a training company (though my PR guru — a.k.a. Mum — says I should’ve plugged Badass Unicorn)!

Thankfully, you live and learn.

And, hopefully, if I keep going like this, I’ll get another shot!

You see, making your dreams come true looks effortless from the outside —

Like people just “get asked” onto podcast, prime-time press, or speaking stages.

But the fact is; it rarely happens by accident.

Behind the scenes, there’s:

⚡ The graft to show up

⚡ Getting ghosted (BBC London & Women’s Hour, waiting for your call 😉)

⚡ The guts to be judged

People might call us “dream chasers” self-involved.

I say: you don’t manifest your goals sitting on your tod and expecting the phone to ring.

This one’s dedicated to the gumptious who dare make shit happen. 🏆
