More Than This with Deborah Sloan

The Episode on Can You Have It All?

In this episode, I talk about whether you can have it all. The topic of career v motherhood and whether you can successfully do both is a topic that comes up over and over again. I also talk about my ongoing battle with prioritising my time which definitely gets in the way of More Than This and my second career plans. I read a piece called ‘And That’s What Gets Results’ which you can find at https://deborahsloan.substack.com/p/and-thats-what-gets-results. This time, I slip up a bit saying the word children. Again, I ask in this for your thoughts on what I’m sharing so do get in touch if you have any. I also appreciate any encouragement I can get! Or even just let me know you listened.

The Episode on The Women Load

In this episode, I talk about the women load which is all the stuff women do and all the battles they have to fight for themselves. This definitely gets in the way of More Than This. I read a piece called ‘How Are All The Other Women Getting On?’ which you can find at https://deborahsloan.substack.com/p/how-are-all-the-other-women-getting. This time, I can’t say reticence or pretences but due to piano practice needing to be done in my recording studio, I could not re-record it. I hope this makes me relatable. There is no rustling of paper this time as the printer isn’t working so I had to move my eyes down my laptop screen which isn’t easy. Again, I ask loads in this for your thoughts so do get in touch if you have any. Or even just let me know you listened. All my contact info is on my website deborahsloan.co.uk.

The Episode on Disappointment or Resilience or Anger?

In this episode, I talk about disappointment and resilience and anger hence not being sure what to call this episode. I read a piece called Lucy In The Sky With Donuts which you can find at https://deborahsloan.substack.com/p/lucy-in-the-sky-with-donuts?. I read it beautifully apart from one blip where I can’t say ‘ranks’.
I also reference another piece called Ella, Girl With A Pearl Earring which you can find at https://deborahsloan.substack.com/p/ella-girl-with-a-pearl-earring-and
Please excuse the slight rustling as pages fall on the floor and I ask loads in this for your thoughts so do get in touch if you have any. All my contact info is on my website deborahsloan.co.uk…

The Episode on Validation

In this episode, I discuss validation with my first guest who is called Russell but in my writing, he is just my husband. Russell works in Kainos. Is he validated by his job or is he validated by being my husband?
I read a piece of writing called Validation Begins At Home. You can find it at deborahsloan.substack.com.
