Show notes

Hello!


Today, we speak to the co-founder of The Breakout Hack and Bouf Haircare, Rachael Wilde. Rach was just 23 years old when she started her business alongside her mum, growing it into a multi-million dollar company. You can find out all about her business journey and advice over on Style-ish. Today though, we’re going deeper into Rach’s personal story.


In this conversation, Rach opens up about living with anxiety, the reality of having panic attacks, and how her partner, Josh, has supported her through it over the years. She also opens up about her pregnancy journey and what her own mum (and business partner) has taught her about motherhood. Rach talks openly about how she feels about balancing motherhood and career through this next exciting chapter.
