Episode 15: 'The Business Saved Me': Purpose, Positivity & Planners with Finn Prevett

If you’ve been listening to this podcast for a while you’ll know I believe that the secret to building a sustainable business around your busy life is your wellbeing. Your business will only work as well as you do!

A key part of wellbeing is channelling your purpose in life and spending time doing something that has meaning for you. That’s why I’m so excited to share the story of today’s interviewee, Finn Prevett.



Finn and her co-founder Ali McDowall both experienced mental health challenges when they became mothers and out of those challenges, they created The Positive Planner. It was a product that they wanted and needed in their lives and through creating it, they created both tools to support their own mental health but also found they had a new purpose in life, to change the conversation around mental health and to help as many other people as possible with The Positive Planner.

In this interview Finn shares that although many people thought it was a terrible idea for her to start up a second business, when she was already had one, plus she had a new baby and mental health challenges – in fact the now flourishing business and the community that she and Ali created, saved her.
