One of the best pieces of advice I ever received was, "you don't need permission to do your job".

A while back, I sat down with Francisca Leonardo from XperienceSthlm for a conversation about my personal and entrepreneurial journey, where we discussed my transition from academia to building a consulting business and navigating the ‘scientist-mother-entrepreneur’ challenge while raising two kids.
