In this episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with Fozia Haynes, a dynamic young entrepreneur who's successfully running her second business. If you're on the fence about starting your own venture, feeling like it’s not quite perfect yet, or doubting whether you have what it takes, this conversation is bound to inspire you. Fozia opens up about her journey from a traditional Pakistani background, where she was expected to follow a certain path, to carving out her own way in the business world.

We explore her double life growing up, balancing cultural and religious expectations while nurturing her entrepreneurial spirit. Fozia shares the struggles she faced and the brave decisions she had to make, including leaving home and navigating family relationships. Despite initial challenges, her story is one of resilience and success.

She also talks about launching her first business, Kegel weights, which grew to be a hit in the UK and US, but was sold due to fears and imposter syndrome. We dive into how fear can hold us back and the importance of pushing through to scale up and ask for help. Fozia’s second venture, a collagen supplement brand, emerged from a more vulnerable and personal place after having her child.

Throughout our conversation, we discuss how perfectionism, self-awareness, and vulnerability play key roles in business and personal growth. Whether you're just starting out or already on your entrepreneurial journey, this episode is packed with relatable insights and empowering stories. Don't miss it!

In this episode, we dive into a conversation every parent needs to hear. My guest, Sidra Naeem, a dedicated teacher specialising in Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SENCO), chaplain, and lecturer in teacher training, brings her wealth of experience to address a pressing issue: the impact of technology and social media on children's mental health. Sidra, who also serves as the King’s representative in England, shares invaluable insights from her extensive work with children and families.

We explore how social media creates an environment of competition and peer pressure, shaping children’s expectations around appearance, academic achievement, and success. Sidra explains how parents—especially those from BAME (Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic) communities—often push their children toward high-paying careers, like medicine, in response to cultural pressures, but this can lead to intense stress, anxiety, and burnout.

For parents, this conversation is crucial. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of the unseen pressures your children face, the role social media plays in their mental health, and how cultural expectations can add to the burden. Sidra also offers practical advice on how to create a more supportive environment at home to help your child thrive in today’s hyper-competitive world. Don’t miss this eye-opening discussion that could change the way you approach your child’s well-being and future.
