Ep 4. Embracing & overcoming your fears, with Louise Brooks

In this week’s episode I interview the truly inspiring Louise Brooks, owner of Parenting Success (and hence provider of guidance, comfort and wisdom to many a parent), about her experiences both as an entrepreneur, and on her own personal journey as an individual. If ever you feel the need to draw inspiration from someone who appears on the surface to have an innate sense of natural confidence, this interview is for you! Louise tells her story, from growing up in Denmark, relocating to the US, her fascination with the study of psychology, and how she subsequently applied that and her own life experiences into her own business providing support and advise for parents. In telling her story, she explains how ‘Louise questions’ helped define her career path, how she overcame being a ‘safety junkie’ and employed the value of her message as a means of overcoming her inner doubts. Louise’s empathy and insight are a delight to share with you, and I’m confident you’ll take as much from listening to her wisdom, as I did myself. We delve into: How Louise overcomes challenges, pushes out of her comfort zone and always tries to follow her heart.
