Alexandra Shulman on her crippling anxiety and rejecting stereotypes

I am thrilled to be joined today by one of my career idols, Alexandra Shulman. Alexandra is a former British Vogue editor, the longest standing editor in Vogue's history and someone I've looked up to for many years. You may have thought that she had it all, but even the strongest of people are fighting their own battles. Today, I wanted to ask her about her life before Vogue, how she felt when she was criticised for not looking like the stereotypical Vogue editor and how she coped juggling both motherhood and an unstoppable career. I'm so grateful to Alex for opening up on this episode and for sharing her vulnerabilities as it just proves how insecurities have an impact on all of us.Find more information on Alexandra: Instagram: @alexandrashulmanTwitter: @ashulman2Follow Hurt to Healing on Instagram:@hurttohealingpod--A big thank you our wonderful charity partner Shout.
