What happens when you stop holding back your big ideas - and actually give yourself permission to go for it?
In this energising, honest episode of The Self-Worth School, Rosie is joined by Laura Croudace, the storytelling strategist and founder of Social Storie, who helps ethical startups raise millions through powerful, human-first communications.
Laura shares how she turned an idea into over £200K of business in 7 days - and what it really looks like behind the scenes to hold a big vision, face the doubt, and still follow through.
Together, they explore:
Why ambition is often misunderstood (especially by women)
The emotional rollercoaster of building something meaningful
How to move from idea to action - without burning out
Why your vision needs boundaries and bravery
The powerful shift that happens when you stop waiting for validation
How Laura stays grounded while leading and creating at a high level
If you’ve ever asked yourself “What am I even doing this for?” - this episode will feel like a reset button.
Real talk, real tools, and full permission to want more and protect your energy in the process.
