Our host Lisa is joined by Amy Kohl from The Female Founderand Susie McAvoy Managing Director of MX locati9on experts, part of Miroma Group, for an honest conversation about confidence, ambition, people-pleasing, being visible, putting your hand up and finding your voice in rooms where you might not always feel like you belong.

Join the Club: The feel good club
We’re surrounded by advice on how to live healthier, happier lives. From social media to podcasts, books to wellness apps, we’re constantly being told how to look after our minds, bodies and wellbeing. But why has “feeling good” become such a universal goal? Is it a response to the challenges of recent years, or are we simply becoming more aware of what happens when we don’t prioritise ourselves?
In this episode, Lisa is joined by Aimie Skillen, founder of the Feel Good Club, to explore the story behind one of Manchester’s most loved wellbeing brands.
What started as an idea in Aimie’s bedroom grew into far more than a coffee shop. The Feel Good Club became a community, a safe space where people could connect, work, and have honest conversations about mental wellbeing. Even after the physical venue closed, the brand and its mission continued to resonate with thousands of people.
Now, Aimie is returning to the heart of why she started Feel Good Club in the first place. We talk about building a purpose-led business, navigating change, protecting your mental health as an entrepreneur, and why creating spaces where people feel seen and supported matters more than ever.
Join us as we talk about why feeling good has become something we’re all striving for and why it’s a club everyone is welcome to join.

Why are we rooting for you? The compound effect of being generous
In this episode, our host Lisa is joined by Lisa Morton, Founder and CEO of Roland Dransfield and host of the We Built This City podcast, to explore the idea of building your own “Manchester Bank Account” the invisible wealth created through generosity, consistency, trust and showing up for others long before you need anything in return.
They unpack why some people are simply easy to root for, how reputations are built over decades rather than days, and why the strongest professional relationships are made through loads of small deposits: like making introductions, celebrating others, solving problems and always following through.
Lisa shares her lessons from building one of Manchester’s most respected communications agencies, the power of playing the long game, and why your reputation walks into a room before you do. With stories of unexpected opportunities and how she built some pretty impressive relationships.
If you’re wondering how to become someone people genuinely want to see succeed, this episode is a masterclass in building social capital. Because the best networks aren’t built by asking, they’re built by giving.
