Listen "E18: "You realise just how capable you are" with Maria Bettis from Slow Style Mindset"
Episode Synopsis
Maria has moved from the ultimate corporate jobs at Coutts and Harrods to combining her passions and running her own sustainable luxury fashion business. Maria’s journey into her business sounds like a really organic process, and shows you the value of sometimes just saying yes to opportunities and working out the finer details later! Like a lot of mums, Maria was looking for a more flexible working life than corporate life afforded her, not least because her eldest, Edie, has autism and other health concerns. Her business became an outlet during lockdowns (hard relate!) and Maria went from being very focused in her corporate roles to being skilled and capable across many areas, which I think will resonate with a lot of other business owners out there! We talked a lot about what we share and how things appear on social media. We might be frustrated with our seeming lack of progress in our business, but only we know the balls that we’re dropping. If we do share more “reality”, it gives clients and followers an opportunity to connect with us and our challenges, and often, they are going through something similar. It’s a tricky balance and something that I’m working out myself at the moment! Listen to the end to hear Maria’s 3 tips for tired mums who want to look great, feel comfortable but also make more sustainable choices.
