Welcome to the very first episode of the Full of Ourselves Podcast.

In this episode, Anna Campbell and Heidi Hinda Chadwick introduce their new podcast, ‘Full of Ourselves’, and discuss the importance of being full of oneself as a woman in business. Challenging the societal expectations for women to be modest, quiet, and not take up too much space, they emphasize the need for women to step into their power, be confident, and unapologetically themselves.

Anna and Heidi Hinda share their own experiences and (ongoing) journeys towards embracing this for themselves, which of course includes the importance of collaboration, community, and vulnerability in business.

Takeaways

• Being full of oneself as a woman in business means embracing and owning who you are, being confident, and unapologetically showing up as your authentic self.
