I’m so happy to find it and listen to all you brilliant women. Beautifully produced and collated. It’s so good!

Viv’s conversations are just what I needed. I learn something new every time; useful, first hand, practical and truly new insights. The conversation flows easily, like between friends, and the backstory is always suspenseful and compelling. And we get all that within a sensible timeframe.

A great mix of interesting ideas and people. I’ve never spoken in public before and have suddenly found myself having to do book festivals, radio and TV. This podcast has helped a lot!

Put this to the top of your “listen to next” list. It is always engaging, frequently funny, and without fail I learn something new. For working women this is essential listening, and men will learn lots too.

The most relatable, helpful podcast on confidence, not just for work but for life. I’ve recommended various episodes to girlfriends, nieces and even my son.

I love this podcast- the format of interview pause and deeper dive - keeps the warmth and spontaneity of good interviews with a bit of added information to highlight how that guests actions can help you with your speaking or growth or understanding.

So worthwhile and uplifting. The interviewees are great, but the USP here is Viv. There’s no sycophantic saccharine simpering (“Me too! Me too! Agree, agree, agree”), that you sometimes get with “wimmin’s” podcasts, but instead nuanced, insightful questioning, and intelligent analysis and...Read full review »

What to say as a recommendation for listening to HTOTR? Here goes - fascinating; affirmative; empowering; inspirational; enjoyable; insightful; practical; authentic. We are fortunate that this valuable resource is freely available on demand. Listen - you won’t regret it. So good I bought the books.
