Pivoting through bullying (with Sam Dunlop)

This episode is like an allegory for all those who have experienced bullying or rejection for being themselves. Sam was bullied at school for having red hair. She tells a very relatable story about how she regained her power and took back ownership of her own image. Sam describes how she pivoted from hiding and shame to reclaiming her natural colour and image. This was such an empowering experience that others wanted to emulate her look.  Sam shares her concern for the effects of social media on young people and how bullying can lead to self-harm. 

Sam has two businesses: Prestigious Finance Services and Mastermind Recruitment and has done laudable work with job centres in Kent finding jobs for the unemployed.  Her work has attracted positive attention and last year she won the Kent Women in Business Awards and is a finalist once again this year.
