Professional women are under overwhelming pressure to achieve it all – career, kids and caring partner.And to do it with an effortless smile.But it isn’t that easy.

It doesn’t mean that you can’t have it all, but according to Emma Draper, award-winning retail entrepreneur, property developer and mother, “we need to release ourselves of the guilt and just do the best we can”.

On the outside Emma is an amazing role model for female entrepreneurs. Over 23 years she’s built a multi-million pound business, had three kids and truly loves her work. But it didn’t come easy. She had to work damned hard to make it allwork.Patience, purpose and persistence have been key.

In this episode, Emma joins Carlos and Laurence to share what she’s learned about business, and more importantly, about herself over the past 23 years.

They cover leadership, culture and positioning as well as more personal topics like motherhood, personal growth and finding your why.

If you’re a female entrepreneur at the start of your journey or you’ve been in business for a few years but now feel stuck… and overwhelmed… this episode is for you.

It’s OK to want it all. Just give yourself some slack if it doesn’t come as easily as Instagram says it should.
