Why Do We Celebrate Women On The Way Up, Then Tear Them Down?: Patricia Bright, Sam Faiers & Isobel Lorna | Ladies Who Launch
Ladies Who LaunchShow Notes
For our 100th episode, we're doing something we've never done before: our first ever round table. Rochelle is joined by Patricia Bright, Sam Faiers and Isobel Lorna for an honest conversation about why we celebrate women on the way up, then criticise them once they actually succeed.
Together they talk about ambition, money, backlash and the pressure on successful women to stay relatable, from Isobel's viral Agende launch to Patricia's decision to stop sharing her numbers, Sam's journey building Revive, and the double standards that still come with female success.
In this episode: The Agende launch: nearly £500K on day one, and the price backlash that followed Patricia on sharing her numbers, getting backlash and shutting down, and why she's opening up again Why people love an underdog until the underdog wins Sam on being mistaken for just the face of ReVive, and why she hid herself from her own brand Learning to be proud of your success without feeling unrelatable Handling trolls and haters, and using criticism as data Being taken seriously as a woman in business The double standard for women and men in business What happens to friendships when your success grows Why women play down their ambition, and how to stop "A successful woman should never apologise for..."
Whether you're building a business, growing an audience, or just have people around you who struggle with your wins, this one is for you.

Millie Kendall OBE has spent more than 30 years shaping the British beauty industry. She launched Shu Uemura and Aveda in the UK, co-founded the iconic makeup brand Ruby & Millie with Ruby Hammer, and now leads the British Beauty Council as its founding CEO. In this episode of Ladies Who Launch, she shares the wisdom, mistakes and reinventions behind a career that has spanned the early days of modern beauty brands.
This week on Ladies Who Launch, we're doing something a little different. Instead of sitting down with an incredible woman, we're taking you behind the scenes of the biggest moment of Rochelle's business journey so far: the launch of her skincare brand, Eulah.
Rochelle sits down with Karlee Zhang, founder of Hello Klean, who opens up about her journey from self-funding an idea that nobody had believed in, to having half a million loyal worldwide customers and expanding into luxury retail spaces.
Connie Nam founded Astrid & Miyu from her flat in Notting Hill in 2012, with a £500 website and a bold £2,000-a-month bet on PR she funded from her own savings. Since then, the brand has grown to 30+ international stores and a reported £50 million in turnover.
Colette Laxton co-founded The INKEY List in 2018 to make skincare less confusing and has since sold over 90 million products worldwide.
