Meet The Queen Of DIY
Get ready for some serious girl power! Becky Russel (know as @SurreyHouseDIY) picked up her first tool when she became a homeowner and quickly realised that if something needed doing, she'd have to do it herself.
Becky shares her hilarious and relatable stories of learning through trial and error, watching YouTube tutorials, and asking ChatGPT for help. We also get real about juggling house projects with family life and running a business. Becky shares all her secrets.
This episode is a rollercoaster of inspiration, laughs, and practical advice. If you're doing some DIY or thinking about it, this episode is for you!
Trust me, if Becky can do it, you can too!
