Most Business Women were kicked out! by Covid. It was hard, and still today, hard to recover. Serial Entrepreneur, Mom, Wife and Creator Kate Shepherd could have been one of them… She might have lost most of it, but decided to focus on rebuilding what she had left. She practises “The Three ‘Fs’“ FAITH, FOCUS AND FAMILY, and “Surrounds herself with people that are on the same page as her, with no gain." She is resilient. She is awesome. She’s my #Bestie. That’s just a little of what I found out when We sat down and spoke about life, business and everything that happens in between.

This is a podcast series about women of influence – women who have had a positive impact on society. We’re asking about their biggest wins and losses and the definitive moments that shaped and changed their lives for good, because this podcast aims to change other women’s lives forever, too.
