people find balance through new ways of living. For Jodi, this is not about ‘quick fixes,’ or the latest trends and fads, it’s about making sustainable changes that last.

Jodi’s focus is on the individual. She knows that what works for one person, may not benefit another and that when it comes to achieving optimal health, the mind is as

important as the body. She is a proud partner of London Hormone Clinic, working with patients with hormonal conditions.

We discuss how health and wellness is about balance and taking the time to look after ourselves. It is about making impactful changes that work and fit in with our daily lives.

With a background in hospitality management, Sam has had the joy of looking after people and arranging effective and enjoyable events for over 25 years. After joining WIBN in 2010 as a member promoting her own therapy business, Sam quickly saw the power in networking and making authentic connections. Through networking Sam didn’t just triple her investment in the first year, she came away with firm friendships and also her own team of cheerleaders in the shape of the other members ready to assist, support, connect and pass business her way.

Therefore when the opportunity to become a franchisee Sam didn’t need to be asked twice and for the past 10 years she has been looking after WIBN groups in the capital, managing nine of the London groups as well as the Colchester WIBN and the National Online 'WIBN Angelou' group.

Sam's advice to anyone when networking would be approach each meeting from the point of view who can I help, rather than who can help me - think “farming not hunting" and you won't go far wrong.

I can add testament to the fact that Sam is one of the best networkers I have ever worked with. Through her energy, enthusiasm and supportive nature, Sam brings together ladies across all aspects of business making each individual feel special and important. I continue to love being a part of Sam's WIBN Groups.

Since 2010, Anne has worked as a health and lifestyle coach and nutritional therapist, helping people build sustainable habits and healthier, more balanced lives. In 2023, her work became deeply personal when she was diagnosed with coeliac disease. Faced with a sudden lifestyle change, Anne applied the same five-step method she had taught for years, giving her first-hand insight into the challenges many people face after diagnosis.

A passionate bread lover, Anne refused to rely on ultra-processed gluten-free options. Instead, she set out to recreate high-quality gluten-free bread with the flavour and texture she missed, leading her to develop online gluten-free baking classes and in-person bread workshops.

Today, Anne supports people newly diagnosed with coeliac disease or those transitioning to a gluten-free lifestyle, combining her expertise in nutrition, lifestyle change, and gluten-free baking to help them rebuild confidence and thrive. She is currently working towards opening a dedicated gluten-free micro bakery and baking school and is crowdfunding to bring this vision to life - https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/littlehomebaker

Today's episode was a genuinely lovely, lively and fun conversation with lots of amazing tips and information and one I’m really pleased to be sharing with you.

I’m joined by Brigitta Scholz Mastroianni, the person behind NUX Photography. Brigitta has a very special way of working with people, especially those who don’t naturally feel comfortable in front of the camera.

What really comes through in this conversation is that she’s not just taking photos, she’s creating space. Space for people to relax, to be themselves, and to be seen in a way that feels natural and kind.

We talk about confidence, about showing up as yourself, and about how photography can actually be an experience rather than something to endure. There’s a lot of warmth in this conversation, a few laughs along the way, and plenty of moments that will resonate whether you’re a business owner, a creative, or someone who simply avoids being photographed.

Find out more about Brigitta here: https://www.nuxphotography.com/

I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed the conversation.

Let’s get into it.
