✨Collaboration ✨
Eilidh Ross, in the latest Women in Wellies episode, talks about setting up her own business, Camus Consulting. A key driver for her was bringing balance, flexibility and freedom to her home life allowing her to be a Mum but she also talks about the unexpected benefits and joys of stepping out on her own. One of these benefits is the opportunity to collaborate with, work alongside and be challenged in her thinking by a variety of professionals as they all work to get the best outcome for their clients.
Collaboration is something that lots of our guests have spoken about and it strikes us as a key element of success in rural Scotland! Who do you collaborate with or who could you collaborate with?

✨People✨
From the ‘ugh people’ memes to those who love people we all fall somewhere on the spectrum and in the latest episode of Women in Wellies, Emma shared how much she loves people and how valuable this skill is for their business! Living in rural Scotland we have to tell our own story, engage with our audience and build those relationships!
So are you one who loves people or more of the ‘ugh, people’ memes?

🐝 how it began 🐝
In the latest episode of the Women in Wellies Podcast Gael’s passion and love for her bees and beekeeping shines through from the start of our conversation but it hasn’t always been that way, it all began somewhere!
A lot of you have commented on Gael’s story, her journey to get to where she is and one of the highlights of it is how she got started in beekeeping - the moment she first looked into a hive and was completely mesmerised! It’s a magical sight and what a brilliant way to get started on something new!

✨ No Wrong Path ✨Earlier this year we joined the celebration of the #NoWrongPath campaign run by DYW Scotland as it is something both Hannah & Charlotte are big supporters of. In the latest episode of Women in Wellies, Mary Bowman shared her story and provided a fantastic example of there being no wrong path. Mary’s route to becoming chartered and working at Highland Rural began in Ardnamurchan making bold choices to finish high school there and pursuing her love of the Highlands. Her journey has taken her across Scotland working with deer, sheep and hill ponies all to lead her to the point of realising what she wanted to do and that there really was no wrong path to where she wanted to get to and the value of the life experiences in her professional career today! 🔗Head to your podcast platform of choice, or follow the link in the comments to hear Mary’s full story! #womeninwellies #womeninwelliespodcast #womensupportingwomen #storytelling #podcast #scotland #ruralscotland #ruralleaders #podcastersofinstagram #podcasting #wellies #newpodcast #newpodcastalert #rurallife #ruralliving #story #stories #listennow
The story of Lynbreck Croft and how, having ended up there sort of by accident, Lynn and her partner Sandra have undertaken a journey of regenerative farming, working in harmony with what they have and creating an environment of abundance is a truly inspiring one.
