In this episode of It’s Your Business, Kath is joined by Sarah Griffin from SMILE Mediation for a powerful conversation about conflict, communication and the journey that shaped her career. Sarah explains how mediation can help in workplaces, neighbourhoods and communities by giving people a safe space to be heard, challenge assumptions and work towards their own solutions. She shares real examples of how quickly things can change when people finally start talking properly.

But this episode goes much deeper than business. Sarah opens up about becoming homeless at 16, living in a hostel, and later returning to that same environment as a support worker helping young people facing similar struggles. It is a story of resilience, lived experience and using your past to make a real difference to others.

She also talks about her move into SMILE Mediation, the organisation’s growth, and why helping people communicate better can change lives.

In this powerful first episode of the new It’s Your Business series (5), Kath speaks to business growth coach Andrea Rainsford about a career built on connection, a life-changing stroke at 32, and the long road back to rebuilding both herself and her business.

Andrea shares how years of pushing through illness, tying her identity to success, and ignoring the warning signs led to a devastating collapse that changed everything.

Now, after years of recovery, Andrea has turned her experience into a mission. She talks about her "Buyology" methodology, why people still buy from people in an AI-heavy world, and why human connection, intuition and values matter more than ever.

She also opens up about her new and exciting "fractional "movement, helping brilliant women work on their own terms without sacrificing their health or their lives.

This is a moving, honest and inspiring conversation about resilience, reinvention, purpose and the courage to build success differently.
