About this episode

Emma Grede discusses the realities of building success and the challenges women face in entrepreneurship.

In this episode of SHE MD, we sit down with entrepreneur and founder Emma Grede to unpack what it really takes to build success from the ground up. From growing up in East London to co-founding billion-dollar brands, Emma shares the unfiltered truth about ambition, confidence, and what actually creates success. We talk about the myths holding women back… from work-life balance pressure to money mindset, imposter syndrome, and the idea that you have to “feel ready” before you start. Emma breaks down why confidence isn’t something you wait for, it’s something you build through action, failure, and repetition. She also shares how motherhood, leadership, and building businesses all collide in real life, not the curated version we see online.
