Lucy Legal on Breaking Stereotypes at Home To Build A Business You Believe In

In this episode Lucy Wheeler, founder of Lucy Legal talks to me about her pre-destined journey into the legal profession, her experiences as a woman in a male-dominated field, and her transition from a conventional legal career to entrepreneurship when she realised she couldn't build the life she wanted in a conventional law firm.   Lucy shares insights on balancing her professional life with motherhood, the challenges of setting up her own businesses, and the importance of legal integrity for small businesses, along with the story of how her and her husband decided to do things differently with their kids, and her thoughts on challenging those stereotypes to build the life you want that spans career and family.    Lucy is offering listeners of Women's Business £10 off to join her membership with code NICKYWB.
