Resilient by Design with Rebecca Hay

I’m Rebecca Hay and I have built a successful interior design business by trial and error, podcasts, online courses and books.

Throughout my journey I’ve become deeply passionate about business and helping other entrepreneurs and career minded women. Each week I’ll share tangible takeaways from my own experience and the experiences of other badass women to help you build your confidence and change your business.
