Our sensory systems are fascinating and help guide us to engage with the world. Each sensory system plays its part and together they communicate with our brain and help us to navigate how we react and interact with our environment around us.This week Beckie and Rhianna take a light hearted deep dive into their own sensory systems which can sometimes be very challenging - from the sounds they find most annoying to intolerable smells. Join them to explore the workings of ‘Rhianna’s World’ and how Beckie can’t bear the smell of tumble-dried clothes.

Beckie and Rhianna talk to Millie from Highlight Bookkeeping and discuss some of the key problem areas for a small business when trying to manage their own accounts. This is often a generic issue especially for those with neurodivergence. Many entrepreneurs and small business owners experience fear and procrastination when it comes to their accounts… but it really doesn't have to be this way. Millie shares valuable insights on how to find a neuro-affirming bookkeeper that can almost body-double along side you and they discuss the importance of choosing the right accounting software to streamline your financial processes. Through humour and sharing their own experiences they break down the fear and procrastination surrounding money management. @symproveyourlife@highlightbookkeeping Millie@highlightaccounts Tyler @xero is the accounting software we discuss@joinmettle is the free business bank account which links to Xero @love.local@_theumbrellahub@themakingbee@mtalbotcreative#neurodivergentbusinessowner #dyslexia #dyslexicthinking #newpodcast #podcaster #adhdwomen #creativepodcast #smallbusinessowner #under5k #autisticwomen #moneymanagement #neurodivergent #bookkeeping #accounts #creativerehabpod
