| 0:00.0 | Talking to so many inspirational founders, artists and makers has been a huge privilege and |
| 0:05.2 | honor. And as I reflect back on my Hollywood co-journey so far, I can now see that this podcast |
| 0:11.4 | has acted like an anchor as I've navigated new territories. I've been lucky enough to hear |
| 0:17.5 | firsthand some incredible journeys, musings and perspectives on life, the world and all things |
| 0:24.4 | business. I've been moved to tears every episode, laugh like never before and have been inspired |
| 0:31.5 | to make change and be bolder with my own plans. It's given me a wonderful headspace to not only |
| 0:37.9 | hear from wonderful founders about their rollercoaster journeys, but it's given me an incredible |
| 0:43.2 | place, I suppose, to reflect on my own life and journey and my own highs and lows. And to mark |
| 0:51.4 | my hundredth conversation of inspiration, it is my honor to share my journey with you. |

| 1:44.3 | entrepreneurs and those who simply inspire me and ask them to share theirs with thanks to |
| 1:50.2 | Nat West who have helped bring this free podcast to life. Here are my Conversations of Inspiration. |
| 1:58.6 | Myself, Carrie and Gabby, my sister co-founders of Holly and Co. We debated at length about what |
| 2:05.0 | the hundredth episode should be, a reflection on my past guests or shoot for the stars for a dream |
| 2:12.4 | but Carrie and Gabby however were adamant that now was a time to share my own story. So that's |
| 2:19.9 | exactly what I'll do. I'll be handing over to you the wind beneath my wings, this community |
