In this week's episode I am re-releasing another of my favourite episodes from 2018 in which I speak to Steph Douglas, founder of 'Don't Buy Her Flowers', blogger and podcaster.

In this episode we talk about:

• What it’s like juggling motherhood and a successful business
• Celebrating the wins, but also acknowledge the struggles
• How important it is to find a community to SHARE with so that you don’t feel like you’re doing it all alone.
• The “magic” two year point of most new business when everything changes
• Learning to delegate elements of your business
• Creating, and strategising for sanity and success.
• Setting boundaries and rules to preserve your energy and sanity

Plus, we discuss what happens when you think you can do everything.

And, in this week's behind-the-scenes 'The Patron Part about Balancing It All' I look back at this episode and give you an update 6 years on and 'spill the tea' on what Steph is up to now.

Meet Steph Douglas

Steph Douglas is the founder and CEO of Don’t Buy Her Flowers - a UK gift company that allows customers to assert thoughtfulness and a human connection. She regularly writes and speaks about starting and running a business, and motherhood, and often a combination of both. 

She is passionate about equality at home and the massive implications the lack of it has on everyone, not just women. She is the host of ‘The Don't Buy Her Flowers Podcast’ which is an extension of the blog she started before Don't Buy Her Flowers and enables conversations and human connection that have been key to building a brand with our customers.

“It’s so easy to forget what your milestones were… You have to stop and go...actually I did this!”
