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.

Jessica Townend - Blooming Beyond Limits: Helping Clients Thrive Through Hypnotherapy
In this episode I’m joined by the amazing Jess — a highly experienced hypnotherapist, single mum of boys, and all-round powerhouse.
Jess blends deep professional knowledge with lived experience, working 1:1 with clients, teaching hypnotherapy, and supervising others in the field. She’s especially passionate about supporting neurodivergent clients—particularly those with ADHD, a journey she personally relates to.
After navigating her own mental health challenges, Jess discovered the life-changing potential of hypnotherapy. Now, she’s on a mission to help others plant seeds of change and grow into the most empowered versions of themselves.
Oh, and when she’s not doing all that? You’ll likely find her wild swimming in icy waters—finding calm, clarity, and courage in every cold plunge. ❄️
