Zoë Richards
author speaker COACH PODCAST HOST
Hi, I'm Zoë
I am the author of Garden of Her Heart, and Tell It To The Bees, and host of the podcast, Write Damn It! I am also an experienced coach with more than 35 years working on mindset, and teaching others to be expert coaches. As well as this, with a masters in learning, I run fun workshops.
I have a grown up daughter, a granddaughter, a cockapoo who is convinced she's still a puppy despite getting old, and a husband who has put up with me for 39 years - I know, how is that possible, huh?
I did 50 things in my 50s, which included stand-up comedy, and humour is something I bring into all of my work. This comes from me being a suicide survivor, and I draw on my lived experience of emotional health and wellbeing in my writing, coaching, workshops, and life.
Author
My two novels, Garden of Her Heart, and Tell It To The Bees, are published by Fox and Ink Books, and are available to purchase now. Reviews - mainly 4 and 5 stars - are universally describe them as a hug in a book, and a perfect holiday read.
I am working on book 3, the final visit to Pinewoods Retreat for now, and on a non-fiction book for writers. More news on both of these books to follow soon.

Currently workshops are held at The Atkinson in Southport and online.

Podcast Host
I started the Write, Damn It! Podcast to help myself when I struggled with my writing after being made redundant from an NHS job I loved, and here we are, over 100 episodes later, and listeners regularly tell me how listening in helps their writing.
The podcast is currently paused for new episodes, but there are 136 episodes to catch up on until I have time to start it up again.
