"Just F*cking Do It" Courage, Career & Backing Yourself- Sophie Lane- Sestra People
In this episode, I sit down with Sophie Lane for a conversation that feels like catching up with a friend who tells it like it is, and makes you laugh deliciously along the way. We talk about wanting to quit recruitment every week in the early days, earning her first commission cheque of just a few dollars, and the resilience it takes to keep showing up when success feels a long way off. Sophie also shares the leap from a secure, successful career into starting her own business, all while navigating the deeply personal realities of fertility, ambition and the question so many women quietly ask themselves: can I really have both?! What I loved most about this conversation is Sophie's perspective on success and leadership. We explore why people remember how you make them feel, why one-size-fits-all leadership never works, and the importance of cheering for other women rather than competing with them. It's honest, funny and incredibly human, a conversation about careers, courage, friendship and backing yourself, even when the path ahead is unknown. Sophie is incredible, I hope you enjoy this chat as much as we enjoyed filming it!
