The Follow Yourself Experiment

In Kerry’s words, “Fashion spat me out.”

But she didn’t reject the part of herself that loved clothes, creativity and self-expression. Instead, she began a journey of bringing together the different...

After twenty years in a demanding career, Gemma began listening to her gut in a deeper way, learning to balance determination with intuition as she built something entirely her own.

We talk about confidence (and how it grows through action), the difference between stubbornness and self-trust, and why meaningful change doesn’t have to come from dramatic leaps - but fr...
