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.

Sound Bites

"Why have we called it full of ourselves?"

"It is time for us as women to step up and take our places as pioneers, as entrepreneurs, as inventors, as leaders, as thought-provokers, as visionaries in the field of business."

"We need to take up our own space. We don't want to shy away. We want to be full of ourselves."

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.
• Societal expectations for women to be modest and not take up too much space have limited their ability to fully step into their power and leadership roles.
• Collaboration and community are essential for women in business to support and learn from each other, and to combat the loneliness and challenges of entrepreneurship.
• Vulnerability is a strength that allows women to be real, make mistakes, and learn and grow from them.
• Confidence comes from trusting in oneself, having faith in one's abilities, and being willing to take risks and learn from failures.
