We share everyday stories of women starting. Each episode is one woman, one story, answering one question: ‘What was a moment you backed yourself ?’

Why are we different? These are real women, real stories & real moments about the challenges we face in everyday life. None of the ‘that girl’ nonsense.

Whatever moment you are facing, whether it’s going to the gym for the first time, choosing to have kids, launching your business, leaving your partner, there is a story for you.

Think of it like going to coffee with a good friend and them sharing a story from their life to help you navigate yours. 

The goal? For you to smile and think, “I can do this.”]]></itunes:summary><image><url>https://artwork.captivate.fm/41cc6f28-d39b-420f-8e15-11a11924923e/Fm2yucvoLUEarsHWP1JLD6be.jpg</url><title>The Day I...</title><link><![CDATA[https://the-day-i.captivate.fm]]></link></image><itunes:image href="https://artwork.captivate.fm/41cc6f28-d39b-420f-8e15-11a11924923e/Fm2yucvoLUEarsHWP1JLD6be.jpg"/><itunes:owner><itunes:name>Isabella Ghassemi-Smith</itunes:name></itunes:owner><itunes:author>Isabella Ghassemi-Smith</itunes:author><description>This podcast is for anyone who’s facing a moment in their life and needs a push to just go for it.
