We’re over the moon to welcome artist Nina Brooke to the show today!

It’s time for our first ever repeat guest—the wonderful Anna Newton! Since we last spoke to Anna in episode 20 of Let’s Discuss, Anna has gone on to pen her first book: An Edited Life: Simple Steps to Streamlining your Life, at Work and at Home.

We consider Anna to be our go-to girl for all things organisation, and we couldn't wait to sit down with her to discuss her approach to ‘being the editor of your own life’.

From budgeting, to working from home, and creating a capsule wardrobe, we chat about paring things back to create more margin in your life.

It’s always a pleasure to spend time with Anna, and we hope that you’ll love virtually hanging out with the three of us, as much as we did!
