"Just because someone else doesn't get it, even if they are supposed to be experts, you know, if you're creating your own path, then no one probably will get it until you're further up that road”

"Learn to feel comfortable in the uncomfortable."

ABOUT THE GUEST

Mandy Powell Ex Welsh International and Pfizer Marketing UK Manager wanted to stop, press reset and do something Positive Welsh and Luxurious.

And so, Goodwash was born.
