International Women's Day- Meet the Women Behind the Brand

What advice would you give to your younger self? & Which women inspire you the most?

Find joy in the mundane, slow down and enjoy the small things that bring you happiness, life will feel a lot more full when you don’t constantly wait for Friday. Care less, less about how you look, your body, if people like you, how you come across. What people think about you has nothing to do with you, so let that worry disappear, I promise you’ll be happier for it. (Oh and don’t forget to use sunscreen!) I truly find the women around me inspire me the most, my family, friends, colleagues. My female friendships are so valuable to me and really do inspire and fill my cup the most. (Also, Lizzo. I wish Lizzo was around when I was growing up, so inspirational, authentic, uplifting and real, plus so much talent! Amazing!)

What advice would you give to your younger self?

I would encourage myself to be more confident less self conscious and follow your dreams and have the belief that you can achieve whatever you want to achieve in this life, be strong and surround yourself with positivity and positive kind people, and always be there for each other. There are so many women across the World that I am inspired by especially the strength of the women in countries where they struggle to get their voices heard, and the women who are surviving the everyday life in some of the many war zones that unfortunately are still happening across the World. I am also inspired by Strong Business Women such as Karen Brady one of many. On the other side the sheer strength and character and the impact that Deborah James had on so many people, she was amazing and touched so many others throughout her battle with cancer.

What advice would you give to your younger self? & Which women inspire you the most?

My advice to my younger self is to not worry so much about what everyone else thinks of what I’m doing. Life is too short, so do everything you want to do and embrace each experience that you know will bring you joy. I would say that having seen my friendship group start to grow their families, those who are mums around me, currently inspire me the most (including other family members and of course, my own mum!) . These ladies are superwomen and so full of love; there’s a lot of hard work, sacrifice and balance in their day to day and they manage to get it all done as well as making time for themselves.
