  <description>In this episode of Pivots and Plot Twists, I’m joined by Kelly Vikings—energetics growth strategist, business mentor, and living proof that your rock bottom can become your launchpad.
Kelly shares her deeply personal journey through bankruptcy, emotional struggles, and adversity—and how she emerged not just stronger, but more aligned than ever. Through the power of energetics, intuitive mastery, and soul-aligned strategy, she’s built a business rooted in purpose, resilience, and real impact.
We talk about what it means to run a New Earth Business, why sharing your truth takes courage, and how trusting your inner knowing can unlock your next level—both personally and professionally.
This one’s honest, raw, and expansive. Whether you’re in the thick of it or on your way through, Kelly’s story will remind you of the power already inside you.
TRIGGER WARNING: This podcast mentions depression and suicidal thoughts

  <description>Welcome to Season 4 of Pivots and Plot Twists. This season's theme is SHINING BRIGHT NOT BURNING OUT.
This season is dedicated to stories of hope, inspiration and positivity, in service of helping you live well, love your work and take care of yourself brilliantly.
On this episode, I'm joined by the wonderful Helen Plumridge.
Helen Plumridge, with over 20 years of recruitment experience, has navigated every facet of the industry—from large corporates to founding three successful businesses. She’s led an all-female team to six-figure monthly revenues and secured private equity backing.

This experience fuelled her passion to support other female founders. Today, she leads Hypa Consulting, a hub for female-led recruitment companies with up to five employees. 
Helen’s mission is to empower women entrepreneurs with the knowledge, resources, and community they need to thrive. Join her in building the largest global community of female recruitment founders!
We discuss: 
Why she burned her business down and started again
Helping recruitment leaders thrive - not just survive
Encouraging women to lead
Making business more enjoyable
Commitment to your health
Wealth isn't measured on money
Setting yourself up for success
Losing your why and how to find it again

    <![CDATA[<p>Welcome to Season 4 of Pivots and Plot Twists. This season&#39;s theme is SHINING BRIGHT NOT BURNING OUT.<br>
This season is dedicated to stories of hope, inspiration and positivity, in service of helping you live well, love your work and take care of yourself brilliantly.</p>

<p>On this episode, I&#39;m joined by the wonderful Helen Plumridge.</p>

<p>Helen Plumridge, with over 20 years of recruitment experience, has navigated every facet of the industry—from large corporates to founding three successful businesses. She’s led an all-female team to six-figure monthly revenues and secured private equity backing. In 2015, while juggling a toddler and a baby, Helen launched her second recruitment business, facing challenges in branding, marketing, and client strategy. This experience fuelled her passion to support other female founders. Today, she leads Hypa Consulting, a hub for female-led recruitment companies with up to five employees. </p>

<p>Helen’s mission is to empower women entrepreneurs with the knowledge, resources, and community they need to thrive. Join her in building the largest global community of female recruitment founders!</p>

<p>We discuss: </p>

<ul>
<li>Why she burned her business down and started again</li>
<li>Helping recruitment leaders thrive - not just survive</li>
<li>Encouraging women to lead</li>
<li>Making business more enjoyable</li>
<li>Commitment to your health</li>
<li>Wealth isn&#39;t measured on money</li>
<li>Setting yourself up for success</li>
<li>Losing your why and how to find it again</li>
<li>Tips on starting a business</li>
</ul>

  <description>On this week's episode, we are joined by Resh Sonchhatla - founder of Chapati Club.
After working in the private equity sector for many years, Resh decided to leave her well paid career to follow her passion and open up an Indian restaurant with her partner, Heena. 
"As gay women of colour, we were initially wary of being an 'out and proud' LGBTQ+ business, but quickly found that this was a strength, with peers, suppliers and most importantly, customers, all embracing them. In our four years, almost five years in business, chapati club has attracted a loyal, diverse clientele of regular 'clubbers' who value the inclusivity of the restaurant, whether they are dining with family, friends or indeed alone." 
Topics we discuss:
 Leaving a well paid career to follow your passion
 Growing up with asian expectations
 Juggling business and building a family
 The struggles covid had on the business and having to pivot hard
 The importance of following your passion
