Running a business, raising a family and trying to find some time for yourself isn't easy.

In this episode of Kitchen Tales, the tables are turned as Colline and Rhona step out from behind the podcast and become the guests. Sasi takes the opportunity to find out more about the people behind the businesses, the podcast and the roles they have in everyday life.

Rhona talks about being a mum, running her business, keeping up with friends and trying to fit in exercise, while admitting that finding time for herself is something that doesn't happen nearly as often as she'd like. She also looks back at her career and the unexpected opportunity that took her from Sussex to London and a job at The Savoy.

Colline talks about growing up in Zimbabwe, moving to the UK at 15 and how being the family organiser has become part of who she is. She also reflects on how different her life has turned out from the one she imagined as a child, when she expected to become an accountant and work in the city.

A big part of the conversation is about what happens when you're constantly busy and always chasing the next thing. Colline explains how, after several years of working flat out, she started asking herself what she actually wanted from life. Her answer wasn't a bigger house, a more expensive car or becoming a millionaire. It was time with her family and the ability to be present for the things that matter to her.

Rhona talks about wanting to spend more time with her children too, while both of them reflect on the fact that life can move quickly and that it's easy to keep putting things off until a later date.

They also discuss confidence, taking opportunities, comparison, travelling with their children and why you don't necessarily have to wait for the perfect time to do something you've always wanted to do.

And, as you'd expect from Kitchen Tales, there's still time to talk about what's for dinner.
