Kitty Tait makes amazing bread.

However this wasn't always the case...

Kitty dropped out of school due to severe depression, her parents tried lots of different things to help her but it was watching her Dad make a loaf of bread that sparked her interest in baking and gave her a reason to get up in the morning.

Kitty, who was just 15 when we recorded this episode, talks about the therapeutic effects of baking and how she set up The Orange Bakery.

She's the youngest guest on the podcast so far but I'm sure you'll agree her story is pretty inspiring!

Shailina Parti has worked in the fashion industry for more than 30 years, working at top British brands such as Jaeger and Jigsaw.  She's also a mum of twins.

Here she talks about balancing her career with bringing up her children, what life is like now they've left home for university and how she has been (successfully!) dealing with the menopause.

She also describes her love of dressing people in clothes that give them confidence.

This episode was recorded before the Coronavirus pandemic, but since then Shailina's life has changed.  Sadly her father died from Covid-19 and due to the lock-down restrictions her family, like so many others, were unable to mark his death in the usual way.

Shailina has recorded her thoughts about her father’s death and her hopes for the future which you can hear at the end of the episode.

Verity Geere was so sick of the dating scene she gave it up for a month and took stock of her life.  She was 39 and while the majority of her friends had settled down and started their families, she was still on the look out for Mr Right.  

In an attempt to make sense of it all she started blogging about her dating life, from first boyfriends to navigating the world of Tinder.  

Her blog was spotted by a literary agent and has been turned into a book. But what's it like laying your love-life bare like that?  And what did her Mum and Dad say when they read it?

Here Verity explains the therapeutic process of writing it all down and has some top tips for those new to digital dating.

Why not leave a review and tell your friends about How She Does It?

How long is your to do list?  Have you done that thing you’ve been meaning to do all day, or maybe you haven’t got round to it for weeks?  Whether it’s finding a plumber, booking the dentist or getting your car fixed. All these never-ending tasks can suck the joy out of life.  Academic and Mum, Elizabeth Emens became so fascinated with the subject she has studied how different people deal with “Life Admin” and has written a book about it.

“The Art of Life Admin: How to do less, do it better, live more” is a fascinating look at how this unseen form of work creeps into our lives and takes up our precious free time.  And unsurprisingly the burden of it often falls on women.

The good news is, Elizabeth has lots of tips and tricks to help you get organised and get it done in less time, so you can get on with things you actually enjoy!
