Today's guest is Stephanie Matthews. Steph has worked her way up in the marketing and communications industry, starting out in advertising research at Channel 4 and gaining experience at a myriad of companies from ITV to News Australia: working in the UK and Australia to hone her skills. She recently moved to join Virgin as a Senior Campaign manager in London. Steph talks about how Virgin is a company that strongly aligns with her personal values.

In her spare time she is the President of the Women's network Bloom. Bloom strives to ensure women have equal opportunity in the communications industry. They work to future-proof women's careers, drive industry change and also run a mentoring programme to pay it forward to the next generation of women.

In today's episode we cover a number of topics which are common themes to lots of women. We have a very open and honest chat about the importance of not comparing yourself to others, understanding your values and scripting in family time to enable better work-life balance.
