  • 22.6 Carrie Sun, author
    Feb 9 2024

    How do you swap a soul-crushing job for one that sustains you?

    Viv talks to the writer, Carrie Sun, whose new memoir, Private Equity, is about to be released in US and UK. The story draws on Carrie’s own experience of being headhunted to be Executive Assistant to a billionaire. The competitive role was glamourous but 24/7, unrelenting and led to burnout in the face of a pitiless boss.

    Carrie critiques capitalism and systems of misogyny, giving extraordinary insight into extreme hustle culture within a closed world.

    Viv and Carrie unpick these complex threads and counsel keeping a sense of perspective and plotting a way out when you need to escape.

    Viv's new book, Happy High Status: How to Be Effortlessly Confident, is out now.

    Feb 2 2024

    How do you find the confidence to pursue the work you want and ace an interview?

    Viv chats to Kate Stephens, the CEO of Smart Works, an amazing charity with celebrity backers whose mission is to help marginalised women break the cycle of rejection and deprivation that comes from long-term unemployment. Since 2013 they’ve helped over 30,000 women prepare for job interviews by giving them coaching, styling and an outfit to wear at their interview chosen from new clothes donated by fashion brands and retailers.

    Kate tells Viv how respect and kindness can unlock confidence. Being welcomed and nurtured is key to enabling women to shine in an interview situation.

  • 22.4 Joanna Jensen, entrepreneur
    Jan 26 2024

    How do you find the self-belief to pursue a brilliant idea, convince investors in your vision and pick yourself after setbacks?

    Viv chats to Joanna Jensen, the founder, former CEO and now brand ambassador of Child’s Farm, a family skincare brand she developed from her kitchen table.

    It’s an unabashed success story, built from the challenges of a recent divorce and two young children, and driven forward by Joanna’s conviction and hard work.

    She tells Viv how necessity, belief in the product and utter determination was the rocket fuel that powered her along.

    Viv's new book, Happy High Status: How to Be Effortlessly Confident, is out now.
