Radio and GaGaaaaaahhh!!!! All this tech!!

As Women
As women, we can take on a lot. In our 20’s and 30’s we can feel invincible. We are confident, happy, energised, unstoppable! For some this continues throughout life, but for others , the 40’s and 50’s can paint a very different picture. By the time we reach our 40’s we may be balancing a care…
