Hey!
It’s been a little over a month since the last episode of my ‘Great Little Podcast’ landed I’m afraid (not that anyone noticed, I’m sure) 😆 I will endeavour to keep a more reliable monthly schedule in future. 😇
My Guest This Month
Amy Beeson
My guest for this month’s episode is the wonderful, kind and talented writer Amy I Beeson. I first met Amy at a Substack event in London and sometimes see her at her own Substack meet-up events, that she now organises herself. Amy is warm, friendly and kind and so welcoming at her events.
She doesn’t leave a single stone un-turned and always ensures everyone feels comfortable and knows exactly where they’re going and what to expect. If you haven’t already been, I highly recommend attending one of Amy’s events.
Amy has had three books published by Harper Collins and has a Substack called I Need to Finish This Before I Die, which is a mixture of memoire, audio, branding tips and book chat. Amy lives in West London with her husband (who is also a writer), their two children and two cats.
She loves reading, yoga, tea, The Archers, walking in the woods and hosting parties. She also runs a small (pocket sized) Communications Agency – ‘Wordsby Communications’, which helps clients with brand development, communications strategy and marketing.
When I announced my Podcast, Amy was keen to come and share her first-hand experiences of growing up in a small village and attending a strict Catholic school and how this has impacted her life.
Whilst simultaneously having a devoted and supportive mother, who valued her opinions and allowed her to be her own person. Which thankfully balanced the scales and gave Amy the tools and determination to become a confident and successful woman, who knows her worth. 💛
Mentions
Amy’s mum: Sarah Beeson MBE (1951-2023) – Worked as a nurse in Hackney and Kent in the 1970’s
Sarah Ockenwell-Smith: Author of the parenting book – “How to Raise a Teen”
London Feminist Network – Research Paper – Study of women and their experiences of inappropriate/unwanted advancements from men.
Amy’s Books
1. Our Country Nurse: Novel based on Sarah Beeson (Amy’s mum)
2. The New Arrival: Memoire about Sarah training as a nurse at Hackney General Hospital
3. Happy Baby, Happy Family: Amy asked her mum for new baby tips, which ended up as a parenting book, using knowledge Sarah had gained from her 40 years of working with families – “Nurturing, practical and refreshingly honest”
I really enjoyed my chat with Amy and I hope you will enjoy listening to our conversation. Look out for the next Substack event organised by Amy, she really is the most kind and thoughtful host. 🥰
See you next time! 🩵
