Summary

A true entrepreneur in the making, Fearne is creating a strong brand from her purpose and passion - building a business doing exactly what she loves.

In this episode, Holly and Fearne discuss the difficult transition from taking the leap into starting her own business, the juggle as a working mum, to navigating social media as well as the solace she has found in putting creativity at the very heart of everyday life.

Charting her hugely successful career as a TV and radio presenter, she shares how perception and reality are often not aligned, and after suffering from a spell of depression, found the need to take her career in a new direction. She shares her journey to finding herself, carving a career that will allow her to be the master of her own destiny and her pursuit of happiness.
