Lightbulb Moment 15: Using fear to build the future you deserve, with Julie Deane CBE, founder of The Cambridge Satchel Co

It’s been proven that women are far less likely to take risks and follow their dreams than men. As frustrating as that is to hear in our modern society, Holly uses this week’s lightbulb moment, taken from her phenomenal conversation with Julie Deane CBE, to explore the many reasons why we should. 

Using her experience, Holly ponders that very small but oh-so-powerful word – FEAR – and how it restricts women from taking that leap of faith. The fear of failure, of taking financial risks, of negatively affecting your children by starting a business. 

However, here Holly explains the many ways you can positively change your life by following your passion, and how as women, we typically play the role of CEO in our everyday lives already – in our households! Holly also opens up about what she believes to be the magic key to drive us all through those moments of self-doubt — and she’s certain we won’t look back. 

Julie’s Conversation of Inspiration really will leave you speechless as she explains why as a full-time mum she decided to change the direction of her life. Learning to code in just four days, and founding her now international business with just £600 – Julie reveals what has been her driving force since day one…
