In this sponsored episode, I am joined by Dimitra Davidson. Dimitra is the President and COO of Indeed Labs, a global skincare brand, a hugely successful businesswoman and mum to three girls.

We cover:

• Self-care and how she manages her own well-being. Find out the importance to her of having time to reflect and the power of being alone.

• Her experience of parenting; from her own parenting style to what her daughters have taught her about vulnerability. Learn how she has carried this lesson on vulnerability through to all aspects of her life.

• Work and life balance. Hear why she strongly believes in achieving this balance and how she supports the team who work for her in achieving it.

• Business advice on setting up a business and the reality of running a business.
