In this episode, Jeannette sits down to talk to the woman in her life that has inspired her the most - her mum Doreen. They talk about what life was like when she was growing up, in the 1930s and 40s. She shares some of the innovative ways people coped with living without most of the modern conveniences we have today. Including things like running hot water, bathrooms, washing machines, dryers, electric irons, and ovens.

Doreen explains how people still managed to look good despite not having much in the way of makeup and personal care products. They talk about how people entertained themselves and got away for holidays.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Realising how much harder things were years ago helps us to understand that we have a lot to be grateful for.
• Making the best possible use of what you have enables you to live a fulfilling and happy life, even if you have very little.
• Keeping a home clean and welcoming was a lot of hard physical work.
• In the 1930s and 40s, pierced ears were seen as old-fashioned. Doreen explains why in the podcast.
• The past can be a major source of inspiration. Some of what we think of as new innovations are simply things that were popular years ago.
