I’m returning after a little hiatus, and with me is the brilliant Lauren Currie! Lauren is the Founder of UPFRONT, and is on a mission to change confidence for 1 million women. An all-around powerhouse, Lauren has been awarded an OBE for her services to design and diversity. Together we look at visibility from all angles, especially the ones that are trickier to navigate. From the positives of learning to own your work and show up as yourself, to the less explored complexity of privacy, safety, and pressure, we break down what it really means for people from all walks of life to show up online. Ever notice how visibility is an ‘obligation’ that seems to fall on female business owners? Then this episode is for you…   You can find out more about Lauren here: https://laurencurrie.co/ https://www.weareupfront.com/   QUOTES “You can be private and authentic at the same time.”   “I think with female founders, the world wants to know everything about you. It's like: I'm going to decide if I'm your customer or not based on where you live, who you're in a relationship with, how you parent. I think it’s risky and we're only just starting to scratch the surface of what the consequences are for the women in these positions.”   “When you end up with a life that's so different to  the life that you came from, how do you  keep progressing?”   “Why do I need to be camera ready every day when I'm trying to actually build a business?  I look at male founders in the same position as me and they are not doing that.”
