Summary
In this episode of Building A Mumpire Podcast we cover Boushra's (or Miss B as many might know her as) journey of motherhood and business, including her decision to start her own business and the challenges she faced along the way. The conversation also touches on the importance of finding passion and drive in life, and the need to break away from societal expectations.
Additionally, the episode explores the misconceptions around entrepreneurship and the struggles of balancing work and motherhood. It also emphasises the need to try out different things and not be afraid of failure. Boushra's journey of motherhood and business serves as an inspiration for other mums out there who are building their own empires. Despite the struggles with judgment and lack of support, Boushra was able to take a risk and build a successful business while balancing motherhood.
