In this episode, I’m joined by the brilliant Gemma Sheppard - stylist, founder, and all-round powerhouse - for a chat that covers everything from saying yes to wild opportunities, to creating something meaningful in the middle of grief and chaos. 

We talk fashion (obviously), identity, business, burnout, silk pyjamas, and building a brand that actually means something. 

It’s honest, inspiring, and full of heart - and I know you’re going to love it.

Highlights:

(02:16) Fizz, fashion and finding purpose

(09:28) Dressing for confidence, not just the job

(15:08) Saying yes to the chaos of creativity

(23:47) Building a brand through grief and grit

(31:57) Silk, sambas and suitcase-friendly style

(38:17) Staying curious keeps you energised
