  • Style, Confidence, and Radiance: A Conversation with a Personal Style Coach

    In this inspiring episode, I sit down with a Harriet Chunu-McClatchey - personal style coach who turned her childhood passion for fashion into a thriving career.

    From designing paper doll outfits as a child to creating her own wedding dress, her journey is one of passion, resilience, and elegance.

    With experience working at prestigious brands like Selfridges and Monica Vinader, she now empowers women in executive and leadership roles to show up radiantly through styling that aligns with their inner confidence.

    We dive deep into the connection between style, self-perception, and confidence, reflecting on how our clothes can tell a story about who we are.

    I share my own journey of self-discovery through style, including how a comment about my love for colourful, sequined outfits made me question everything about my identity, only to realise that style is deeply personal and empowering.

    Whether you’re looking to refine your wardrobe or understand how style influences confidence, this episode offers practical advice and heartfelt insights to inspire your personal style journey.

                      • From Fear to Fearless: Lessons from a Solo Journey to Entrepreneurship

                        In this episode, I share a deeply personal story of being sent to Canada alone at the age of 12. From navigating an international flight without eating (because I didn’t like the plane food) to the heart-stopping moment of thinking I’d lost my passport, the journey was full of challenges I had to face head-on. With no familiar faces and the cabin crew unaware I was traveling alone, the fear of being stranded during a refuelling stop left me feeling utterly vulnerable.

                        But looking back, this experience taught me resilience, resourcefulness, and the ability to adapt in unfamiliar situations. These qualities are essential for entrepreneurship.

                        Starting a business is a lot like that solo journey: you’re in uncharted territory, feeling lost at times, and questioning whether you’ll make it through.

                        Join me as I unpack how this pivotal trip moulded my entrepreneurial mindset and the key parallels between navigating new situations and building a successful business.

                        When you're faced with the unknown, focus on one step at a time. Whether it’s asking the right questions, finding small wins, or simply staying calm in the face of fear, trust in your ability to figure things out as you go. It’s not about having all the answers—it's about taking that next step forward.

                      • My mother the OG female entrepreneur in my life.

                        Arrived in the UK in 1984 - could not speak a word of english.

                        Self-taught herself english by just doing it. She didn't take any classes or read books on how to learn the language. She just did it!

                        That is the hallmark of an entrepreneur, you don't know how your going to get where you want to be but you just take that first step.

                        I would not be the business woman I am if it wasn't for this amazing lady. Alone, aged 24 years, no family in a foreign country, marrying a man she had only seen pictures of. This woman can sell ice to the eskimos and I am proud to call her my mother.

                        I started talking to my parents about my podcast, I wanted them to tell me about my life. The bits I may have forgotten, blocked out or been too young to remember. Dad started talking to me about the business journey he had been on since coming to the UK at the age of 14. To say I was shocked is an understatement. I wanted to share this with you all as I think its inspirational - but I would say that he's my dad right! Let me know what you think!

                        Recently I have been reflecting on my journey into becoming an entrepreneur. It was following a conversation with my parents about my podcast that this memory came to me. It is very nostalgic, but it was a pivotal moment for me. I realised that I didn't just fall into entrepreneurship it was all around me and I didn't even realise until now. I hope budding entrepreneurs will listen to this and resonate.
