Summary

Nadiya Hussain MBE is a woman whose journey and whose words are seared into the consciousness of all of us. Who could ever forget that tearful victory speech when she won The Great British Bake Off?

But the most remarkable thing about Nadiya is not what a talented baker she is but the way in which she has courageously tuned in to her inner voice, broken down barriers at every turn and challenged nearly every stereotype possible.

Overcoming panic attacks and racist trolls to become an accidental ambassador for British Muslims, this is just the start for Nadiya, an extraordinary woman who has been propelled from full time mum to national treasure, capturing all of our hearts along the way.

Enjoying listening to these unfiltered chats? It's worth following Holly Tucker MBE and Holly & Co on Instagram, and subscribing to our weekly newsletter on our website, where Holly downloads her thoughts, and exclusively shares small business finds and topical, 'ungoogleable' business advice.

0:05.1	going to just love getting to know her better.
0:08.6	Nadia, who's saying, is a woman that we have adored for so many years after she won the
0:15.2	British Bake Off, and it's been such a fantastic hour because Nadia's story is, it just reminds
0:24.2	you. We've got to stop listening to our inner voices, and we've got to trust our gut,
0:31.2	and we've got to never say we can't do something. You're here, Nadia, speaking the words,
0:37.1	you can and you will. A moment in time for her that has meant so much, been allowing her
0:44.4	to battle the demons around her and allowing the light to shine, and I don't know where
0:50.0	she's going to end up, but my goodness, this is a powerhouse of a woman, so prepared
0:55.6	to be inspired. I'm Holly Tucker, and welcome to Conversations of Inspiration. Back in 2006,
1:10.2	I founded Not on the High Street for my kitchen table, and since then, I've gone on to
1:15.2	launch Holly and Co. I'm the UK Ambassador of Creative Small Businesses, and I believe
1:21.0	that having a business, doing what you love, is the key to a happy fulfilled life. My dream
1:26.6	is to help everybody start theirs. I'm here to offer advice, inspiration, wisdom and encouragement,
1:34.3	and in my view, the best way to do this is by sharing stories. So, I've reached out to my
1:41.1	favourite small businesses, entrepreneurs and those who simply inspire me and ask them to share
1:47.5	theirs. With thanks to Dell Technologies, who've helped bring this free podcast to life. Here
1:54.2	are my Conversations of Inspiration. Hi, Nadia, it is such a pleasure to meet you today.
