I Was Betrayed By A Friend While Building A Business In Dubai… Here’s How I Rebuilt Myself
Real Women's Stories with Lisa QuaitShow Notes
If you’ve ever been hurt by someone you trusted, doubted your own judgement, or wondered how to rebuild after being knocked down, Amber’s story is a powerful reminder that painful chapters can still lead you somewhere stronger.
In this episode of Real Women’s Stories, I sit down with Amber Proctor, founder of Hen And The City, a Dubai-based hen party planning brand helping brides celebrate in style.
Amber moved to Dubai with ambition, drive and a vision to build something of her own. But while creating a women’s community with a friend, she experienced a painful business betrayal that left her heartbroken, guarded and questioning whether she even wanted to stay in Dubai.
Amber opens up about what happened when friendship and business collided, how she discovered boundaries the hard way, and why she now refuses to let betrayal stop her from building the future she wants.
This is a conversation about female friendship, trust, resilience, entrepreneurship, starting again abroad, and learning how to protect yourself without losing who you are.
