The best female brands are created from a personal need - Joanna Jenson, Childs Farm Founder (EP2)

As the multi-millionaire founder of Childs Farm, the award-winning natural skincare brand for children and babies, Joanna is one of the UK’s most successful business women, but yet she says that women are not "beating down her doors" to ask for business advice!

In this episode, Mildred and Joanna sit down to discuss everything from parenting to business to the need to be visible as women.

Episode Highlights

12:10 - [On raising children] If you don’t challenge them to be independent, how are they are going to be independent.

17:48  - [On coming up with the idea for Child’s Farm] If it works for my kids and it works for their friends, it’s going to work for everybody else.

24:28 - [On being a parent] It’s less about you and it’s all about them. And you just want to know that you’ve got whatever it is they need to thrive and survive.

25:39 - [On ageing] As I get older as well, I realise how fragile life is and that you've got to make the best out of it and you've got to have the most fun and the most joy that you can have out of life.

37:28 - [On work-life balance] I don't think work-life balance is doom and gloom. I really don't. I think for a lot of people, myself included, you get what you need out of working hard.

49:22 - [On being visible] Visibility is about being heard; being seen and heard, because if we are not, what matters to us is being potentially ignored.
