Strings To Your Bow
Welcome to Strings to Your Bow — the podcast that celebrates the real stories, unexpected turns, and unique skills that shape self-employed life.
I’m your host, Chloe Weatherhead — virtual assistant, support expert, and founder of Andiamo Business Assistance, where I provide tailored small business support to freelancers, founders, and the self-employed.
Each week, I sit down with inspiring guests to explore the personal experiences and professional lessons that have added ‘strings to their bow’ — those transferable skills, passions, or turning points that have fuelled their journey. Whether it’s about launching a business, pivoting careers, or finding purpose through challenge, this podcast is about honest conversations, useful insights, and celebrating the power of lived experience.
If you're self-employed, thinking of making the leap, or simply love hearing how people turn their stories into strengths, you're in the right place.
No jargon, no fluff — just support, connection, and inspiration, one conversation at a time.
