Today I am joined by special guest Gemma Bennett, Mortgage Broker at The Mortgage Mum, recently awarded "Rising Star" in The Mortgage Mum Awards 2021. Based in Essex and raising her 2 children, Gemma brings so much joy and positive energy to this podcast, and to her mortgage broking!  Gemma has an incredible background in holistic therapy and counselling, specialising in stress management and helping people work through difficult emotions and find joy in their every day. She believes that she can utilise her skill set to infuse this into mortgage advice as a "facilitator of happiness". Counselling is how our paths crossed many years ago.
