Writing has always been on Siobhan’s heart. After going from trauma to triumph Siobhan realized she had a story to share, a purpose to pen and a reason to write.

Siobhan lives in Canberra, Australia with the loves of her life; her daughter, husband, and two talkative cats. When she’s not writing you can find Siobhan spending time with her family, patting cats, drinking coffee, imagining cactuses and sheep, and running (not all at the same time). Siobhan's favorite quote: "Don't wait. The time will never be just right." - Napoleon Hill In this episode, you'll learn why writing a book is

A lot of things changed last year. On the outside, it might look like a bigger change because of the rebranding. But underneath it all, I'm still the same and have the same values. So I wanted to make the first episode of the year a re-introduction of who I am, what I am passionate about and my plans for the Humane Marketing movement for 2022.

Find out more about the program at humane.marketing/program    Welcome to the last episode of 2021 on the Humane Marketing Podcast. If you're a regular here, you know that I'm organizing the conversations around the 7Ps of the Humane Marketing Mandala. (If you're new here and don't know what I'm talking about you can download your 1page marketing plan with the Humane Marketing version of the 7 Ps of Marketing at humane.marketing/1page.

Because I'm dedicating this episode to the upcoming Marketing Like We're human program, my flagship program for quietly rebellious entrepreneurs. After a 2 year hibernation I will run this live with a small group of changemakers and I'll be honest now that I have a small group that already said yes, I'm starting to get super excited to run this

Hello friends, this week I'm reflecting back on my business and my life like probably many of you. Celebrating wins, releasing stuff and forgiving so I don't start 2022 with emotional baggage. Death, rebirth and growth. Those are the three words that come up for me when I think about 2021. Sounds a bit dramatic when I hear myself saying it out loud. But I did really go through a dark night of the soul and came out wiser on the other side. On LinkedIn I prompted people to share about the 3 things they are most proud of this year: for me it was writing the 2nd book, Selling Like we're human', going through a major set back and rebouncing from it and the new brand and how it fits all together. I encourage you to also sit down and think about your 3 wins. And don't stop there. Also think about your personal wins. BEING and DOING. Who we become is just as important as our professional achievements. The podcast is one of the things in my business that I really enjoy. It gives me great joy to have these conversation
