Listen "E17: “Every single person thought I was crazy” with Lucy Legal"
Episode Synopsis
TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains discussions of baby loss which may be difficult for those with similar experiences. Lucy Legal is someone who knows pressure - a corporate legal job meant she was often working til 2am, then training with her private PT clients first thing before work. Realising that corporate life just wasn’t working for her when it came to starting a family, Lucy took the leap and went full time self employed. Everyone thought she was crazy to say goodbye to her company’s excellent mat leave and pension but she looked seriously at the financial considerations for her and her partner and made it work. Two businesses and two babies later and Lucy is an incredibly successful founder creating a life with intention for her and her family. Lucy was incredibly generous in sharing her personal and business experiences: Her experience of growing her team and what she could have done to make it work better; where she’s choosing to invest now to create more time and how a corporate background can shape your thinking in ways that aren’t helpful. One of the best things about being a business owner is that you can create your own ways of working, so why do things the way they have always been done?
