Is it really possible for women to have it all? What even is ‘it all’?
These are just some of the questions we’re exploring in today’s episode with our guest May James. May runs two businesses and has had huge success in the accolades she has been awarded and in supporting other female entrepreneurs to build and scale thriving global businesses. All of which she has accomplished whilst managing her chronic illness and living her life on purpose.
May is passionate about helping women to create a business that works for them by being honest about how she balances her business with living a great life. Her openness and vulnerability are strengths that will help others to reflect on their own life to consider what might support them to feel better and get clear on their own values.
