I am super pleased to bring a very special guest to you today, the first on the podcast not from the world of sport. She’s been described as a professional multitasker and is perhaps best known for her TV appearances. Including dancing on ice and a place in the sun, but there is so much more to this lovely entrepreneur and today she shares a little inspiration.

 My special guest…the fabulous Laura Hamilton
