An honest chat with a normal and realistic business owner, Rachelle runs the successful and (more importantly) sustainable Rachelleinwater, which offers Ketuba and Judaica art.

A creative, Rachelle dispels the myth that you can't succeed in Israel following your passions. Having given up her stable job in PR to go full-time freelance, she first made sure she had savings before diving headfirst into the world of entrepreneurship.

Whilst appreciating that she was in the right place at the right time, there is no doubt that Rachelle has an incredible savvy and worth ethic and gives over some incredible useful tips in this episode, where we discuss:

• Taking practical risk
• Vanity metrics and why they are meaningless
• Taking payments upfront and not being a debt collector
• The discussion to have a child and how that can impact your business
• Not needing to reinvent the wheel
• Being pregnant and then mat leave as a business owner
• Working hard not smart

And so much more! A must listen, let me know your feedback!

In this episode, I sit down with Esther Taub - founder of Esther Taub Fitness; the largest English speaking online fitness community in Israel and of course you know as an Instagram superstar with over 15K followers who love her enthusiasm and realistic approach to health and wellness.

In this episode we talked about it all:

• Some of the horror stories of meeting Instagram influencers in real life
• The time we were - almost - both sued
• How she has grown a sustainable and profitable business via Instagram
• Staying authentic in your brand
• Why being a people pleaser needs a refresh: sometimes it's not a bad thing

We spoke like old friends, which handily we are. Trust me: this is one not to miss!

In this interview with Deborah Tastiel - a senior associate at Asserson law firm we delve deep into what success really means, and how career progression should not be at the expense of finding yourself.

Hailing from Belgium, before studying in London, working in Barcelona and finally finding herself in Israel. Deborah has achieved incredible professional success even at a young age, and we speak about what it means to be the - on occasional - the only 'young' woman in the room and how to handle yourself without being too 'fiery' or blunt.

We also discuss embracing femininity in your career, and how being traditional women traits can actually be a real boost in client and team relationships. How we offer so much as women and we shouldn't be afraid to 'lean in.'

There is so much to learn from this episode, a refreshingly honest account into what it means to scale the corporate ladder in your 20s, I think this is incredibly relatable to all women seeking to advance their careers without losing themselves. A must listen!
