Your Simple & Spacious Business

About this podcast
This is a weekly-ish podcast where I share voice notes on running a business that honours your humanness.
A little more about me: I’m Jen, a gentle business coach living in Manchester, UK.
I’m also a mother, a human who lives with chronic illness, and the breadwinner for my family - three things that fundamentaly shape my experience of running my business in both beautiful and challenging ways.
I’ve been supporting online business owners to bridge the gap towards more flexibility, ease, and steadiness since 2015 and, more than anything, I am deeply devoted to supporting you to gently thrive in your business at a pace that works best for you.
