Carolyn Pearson

Viv and Carolyn Pearson

Loved my interview with Carolyn! It’s been a long time coming, and I was really pleased it lived up to my expectation (and hopefully hers too:)!). She’s lovely – brought me tulips which just warmed my heart to no end. Carolyn is the 1st guest I’ve had on the show that works full time for [...]

Claire Habel

Claire Habel on Dream Corner

It was lovely to finally meet Claire and have her on the show! I always say one of the added benefits for me on the show is that having small business experience puts in a unique position with my guests – I get to ask their advice, as was the case with Claire. She had [...]

Theme show – issues with domestic violence

Kate Smith, Mavis Mclean, Funmi Johnson and Viv

When I planned to do this show, I didn’t know Domestic Violence was going to be ‘topical’! My objective wasn’t to look at individual cases, but raise awareness of how badly affected women are by new laws and policies the government plans to introduce. I am horrified to say the least! I was fortunate to [...]

Theme show – Getting older, staying younger

Dr Terry Loong, Viv, Amanda Dunne and Fi Ivin

One of the highlights of doing theme shows is putting different women together – especially those who don’t know each other! This was another topic I dreamt up and was pleased I found Fi, Dr Terry and Amanda to bring their expertise to this topic. I loved everything we talked about – from why some [...]

Emma Blake

Viv and Emma Blake

Emma is a star! We met recently and as she spoke about her new venture Pinstripe and Pearls, I knew she would be great on Dream Corner! When I called her to book the date etc, she casually mentioned that she was picked as the Accountancy Age’s prestigious 35 under 35! My research unearth a [...]

Anne Loyd

Viv and Anne Loyd

It was great to meet and interview Anne today. She came in a little earlier so we got a chance to chat off air which was brilliant. I am always amazed how much I learn from each guest and that’s what makes Dream Corner such an exciting job for me. Anne talked about her journey [...]

Avril Owton MBE and Amanda Smallbone

Avril Owton MBE, Viv and Amanda Smallbone

What a fab show I had with mother and daughter duo – Avril Owton MBE and Amanda Smallbone! Honestly the time flew by and we didn’t get a chance to talk about Avril’s MBE because we were having so much fun! I know I keep banging on about how much I love my job – [...]

Mel Fargo

Viv and Mel Fargo

Another fab show today with returning guest Mel Fargo – loved it, and love Mel. The time literally flew by! We talked about blogging and her popular blog which she pens under alter-ego HerMelness and how that has led to being one of the speakers at BritsMum Live – the biggest blogging event in the [...]

Sacha Selcuk

Flowers

I was introduced to Sacha through previous guest Thao Dang and subsequently met her after her talk at the KPI Day. I knew we were going to have a fab/funny interview and we did! It’s so easy to see why she’s successful in her business – she’s warm and sensitive to her client’s needs. I [...]

Vanessa Stottor

Vanessa Stottor

  I can’t tell you how amazing my interview with Vanessa was; you have to take my word for it! I really didn’t know how moving and inspirational her story was until we got started and boy was it explosive! The words forgiveness and perseverance have a whole new meaning to me now; and I dare [...]
