If you've ever felt like you're not enough, if you've ever let society's expectations hold you back, or if you're simply seeking inspiration to break free from the shackles of self-doubt – this episode is for you.
Picture this: a young girl, plagued by feelings of inadequacy, battling against the weight of generational trauma and societal norms. Samantha's childhood was anything but glamorous; growing up on a council estate, constantly bombarded by the crushing pressure to conform to expectations.
Despite her passion for fashion, she found herself veering away from her dreams, settling instead for a career in journalism. And here's the kicker – she was almost denied a job in the industry because she dared to embrace her love for style.
Could you imagine?
In true Samantha style, she saw this as a challenge and chose to embrace her style as her amour as she conquered the male-dominated industry. But that wasn’t enough, Samantha was still longing for something else and soon after her hand was forced and she entered the world of self-employment following her lifelong passion for fashion. Together, Samantha and I delve deep into the trials and triumphs of entrepreneurship, unveiling the harsh realities and home truths that come with running a business. From the struggles of starting up to the empowering wisdom that shatters the glass ceiling, this episode is a masterclass in resilience and determination.
