September Reflections from Andiamo: Networking, Podcasts & Norfolk Adventures

Andiamo Business Assistance September Reflections

I know I say this every month, but honestly — where has the time gone? September seems to have flown by in a blur of networking events, client calls, creative workshops, and of course, the exciting launch of Strings to Your Bow on Apple and Spotify.

It’s been one of those months where my diary has been full, my brain buzzing, and my to-do list… let’s just say “character-building”!

The Highlights ✨

• FSB Bootcamp in Doncaster

  
  

  I had the pleasure of attending the Federation of Small Businesses Bootcamp, which was jam-packed with inspiring speakers and brilliant ideas to take away. Events like these always remind me how energising it is to be surrounded by people building, growing, and learning together.

  
  

• Strings to Your Bow goes live on Spotify & Apple

  
  

  Watching the podcast download numbers creep up each week has been so rewarding. I launched this project to share stories of resilience, creativity, and business journeys — so seeing people connect with it is truly special.

  
  

• Copper Foil Glass Workshop at The Yorkshire Craft House

  
  

  What a fabulous session! Seven enthusiastic attendees, lots of creativity flowing, and some very tasty food to top it all off. I love moments like this, where passion and community come together.

  
  

• Calm Menopause at Thrive Circle UK

  
  

  I was captivated by this presentation. Honest conversations about health and wellbeing are so important, and the Thrive Circle is such a supportive space for sharing knowledge.

  
  

• A Week in Norfolk

  
  

  And yes, there was also a much-needed break! A week of eating, drinking, reading, and long walks while dodging the showers with Chris (my biggest supporter) and Ludo, our Chief Distraction Officer. Bliss.

The Lowlights (because life’s about balance) 🌧️

It wasn’t all smiles and success. I had to withdraw from the marathon due to injury — it may finally be time to accept that my body is happier with half marathons! And, despite it only being September, I’ve already had the joy of scraping ice off the car before heading out for an early morning wild swim. Character-building, as I said…

Looking Ahead to October 🍂

If September was busy, October is shaping up to be even more so.

Word is definitely spreading about Andiamo Business Assistance, and I’m excited to see where the next month takes me. More conversations, more connections, more opportunities — and no doubt, more stories to share.

Andiamo!
