Episode 35: Breaking Barriers: Fozia Haynes on Defying Tradition and Building Thriving Businesses

Send a text In this episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with Fozia Haynes, a dynamic young entrepreneur who's successfully running her second business. If you're on the fence about starting your own venture, feeling like it’s not quite perfect yet, or doubting whether you have what it takes, this conversation is bound to inspire you. Fozia opens up about her journey from a traditional Pakistani background, where she was expected to follow a certain path, to carving out her own way in the business world. We explore her double life growing up, balancing cultural and religious expectations while nurturing her entrepreneurial spirit. Fozia shares the struggles she faced and the brave decisions she had to make, including leaving home and navigating family relationships. Despite initial challenges, her story is one of resilience and success. She also talks about launching her first business, Kegel weights, which grew to be a hit in the UK and US, but was sold due to fears and imposter syndrome. We dive into how fear can hold us back and the importance of pushing through to scale up and ask for help. Fozia’s second venture, a collagen supplement brand, emerged from a more vulnerable and personal place after having her child. Throughout our conversation, we discuss how perfectionism, self-awareness, and vulnerability play key roles in business and personal growth.
