Holme Beauty founder Hilary Holmes on becoming friends with failure
From business and beauty to motherhood and childhood, we cover so much in this episode. You’ll hear about how childhood trauma and abuse has shaped her life and journey as a mum, how she built her cult brand Holme Beauty, why she hasn’t connected with the other mums at school, and how she’s learned to become friends with failure. ABOUT HILARY: Hilary Holmes is a straight shooter. She’s not here to fumble through the grey. She’s here to tell you how it really is. She’s also warm. She’s empathetic. And she cares deeply for the underdogs. And I think it’s this clashing of traits – this mixture of the things we expect women to be and not to be, the things that we’ve been told don’t work in tandem – that had Loz and I falling quickly in love with her.You can follow Hilary Holmes on Instagram here.—Thanks for listening!
