Summary

YES! Today is the day. And from this point on, the 20th of February 2020 will be forever known as Shameless Christmas. Also, the day with the best numerology in the history of the universe (20/02/2020 - what a date, what a time). But enough about number orgasms! This is about Zoë, AKA former beauty journalist, the author of ten books and the founder of Go-To (and Bro-To... and Gro-To) Skin Care. Also, the curator of Very Good Instagram Accounts and purveyor of Extremely Good Advice. In this episode, we cover a lot; from the early days of Zoë's career to building a huge beauty brand, the self-doubt that can rear its head, motherhood, and what it’s like to be one half of the country’s golden couple. You're almost definitely following Zoë on Instagram anyway, but just in case, she's @zotheysay. We're @shamelesspodcast.
