The InDependent Spouse Podcast: 050 : Nikki Scott

The weekly InDependent Spouse podcast is a series of fun, informative podcasts for the military spouse business owner

The InDependent Spouse podcast was born from a need to hear something new.

A need to hear from the inspirational men and women who experience service life from the ‘home-front’ while creating successful businesses.

To give a voice to those who are already achieving amazing things, and to inspire those who dream of doing the same.

As the traditional role of the ‘military spouse’ continues to evolve in line with the military itself, it seems only fitting to reflect these changes in a modern way. What’s also clear is the importance of developing your own role; one that gives you, the spouse, your own voice while also complimenting that of the service member.

In this series, Jess, a current military spouse running a business while living the ‘magnolia wall life’, explores the world of running a business by chatting to inspiring military entrepreneurs who do the same.

So sit back and listen to their personal stories. Hopefully one day we’ll hear from you!

050 : Nikki Scott

Sep 17, 2021

Hello you lovely lot, and welcome to todays episode with the wonderful Nikki from the charity Scotty’s Little Soldiers.

Its an emotional one today, but a very important episode that I think you will all gain a lot from, but first, a message from the RBL.

The Royal British Legion have been the national champions of Remembrance for 100 years , but they are about much more than just poppies. They’re here 365 days a year to support us and our families. Whether it’s helping to ease the transition for your family into civilian life with finance and employment advice from their teams of experts, or helping get your business off the ground, they’ve got your back. Visit their website rbl.org.uk for more information.

And a thank you to the Legion for sponsoring this podcast. It wouldn’t be possible without them.

So today I have been chatting to Nikki, Scotty’s Little Soldiers charity founder, and widow of Corporal Lee Scott. Scotty’s supports all bereaved British Forces children, from all services, and is an amazing project.

As you can imagine the interview that follows does mention death and repatriation.

A huge thank you to Nikki for sharing such a personal story with me.
