Do, do, DO listen to Ruby Hammer on 'Conversations of Inspiration'

What a lovely surprise. Earlier this week, we tuned in as usual to โ€˜Conversations of Inspirationโ€™ podcast - a must-listen, for us, hosted by Holly Tucker โ€“ to discover that her interviewee this week was the lovely Ruby Hammer.

Weโ€™ve known Ruby for decades, and sheโ€™s grown even lovelier through the years. Her make-up knowledge is phenomenal; Rubyโ€™s worked with the best, travelling to all four corners of the globe. And her entrepreneurial skills have always impressed us, first with the iconic Ruby & Millie, and more recently with her own, carefully-curated Ruby Hammer line, which has acquired a sprinkling of Beauty Bible Awards.

But itโ€™s Rubyโ€™s wisdom and warmth weโ€™ve always been drawn to, and that really shines through this hour-and-a-bit conversation with our friend Holly Tucker โ€“ a veritable human dynamo, champion of small and creative businesses, and ace interviewer. She talks about ageing, menopause (and why it shouldnโ€™t define us), about building her businesses, about love and family and inclusivity and so, so much more.

Itโ€™s a brilliant listen. And when thereโ€™s a break in the weather, we canโ€™t recommend too highly that you lace up your outdoor shoes, get out there โ€“ and kill two birds with one stone, soaking up Rubyโ€™s words while you get your steps.
