If you’ve ever felt stuck, underestimated, or laughed at for wanting more from your life, this episode is for you.In this episode of Real Women’s Stories, I sit down with Maria Pruna, a Romanian-born entrepreneur who left corporate life behind, moved to Dubai, and built a car wash business in one of the most male-dominated industries.After going through a divorce and starting again, Maria decided to bet on herself. With no traditional business background, she helped build and sell her first car wash in Belgium before moving to the UAE, where she has since grown two businesses from scratch.But the journey hasn’t been easy.Maria opens up about being rejected, underestimated, and even laughed at during a networking event when she proudly shared what she was building. Instead of letting that moment break her confidence, she turned it into fuel - and her story went viral.This conversation is about rebuilding your life, taking up space, starting again, and refusing to let other people’s opinions decide what you are capable of.---Discover mid-life coaching with Lisa---Connect with LisaInstagram: Follow LisaFacebook: Follow LisaYouTube: The only place to watch every episode of Real Women's Stories with Lisa Quait Hosted on Acast.
