Hello and welcome to another episode of the Squiggly Careers podcast.

I'm Helen and today I'm not joined with my normal host, my co-host Sarah.

I'm actually joined with somebody.

I'm going to introduce this person by all the brilliant things they do

and see if you can guess along the way who I'm talking about.

So the person that I'm about to talk to, I'm very excited to speak to,

is part motivational

speaker, part entrepreneur, part champion for creating a business and life you love, and now part

best-selling author of New Book, Everything is Figure Out of All. I'd like to welcome Marie Follio to the

Squiggly Create's podcast. Oh, Helen, thank you so much for having me on. I think it's amazing when I was thinking about all the brilliant things that

you've done in your career and everything that is now captured in the book. So I'm personally

very excited to talk to you and looking forward to bringing some of your insights and wisdom to

our Swiggly Careers community as well. And maybe before we dive into the book, I wanted to just share a little bit of insight

into how you've helped me personally.

So the first time I came across your work was when I was on maternity leave.

So I've got two children, Henry Madeline, and my oldest Henry is four and a half.

And I was on maternity leave about four and a half years ago.

And there were a lot of late nights with a baby who at times wasn't sleeping and there was quite a lot of YouTube browsing and I stumbled across your YouTube channel and it made me feel happy. It made me feel informed, your actionableness of your work, the people that you talk to, your authenticity and your humor, it just comes

across in all the things that I was seeing on YouTube. And it was a very nice, in those dark

nights when I was quite tired, watching your YouTube channel felt like a very light relief that

made me feel a little bit more like myself, my worky self, than maybe the person who was just

trying to stay awake and feed a baby. So thank you for that.
