Susan Powls - The Utterly Inspiring Woman Behind Cloud Nine Jul 02, 2025

Show notes

This episode is in partnership with Cloud Nine

I'm so excited for you to get to know Susan Powls, the woman behind the iconic GHD straightener and the fabulous styling tool brand Cloud Nine.

Susan's story is one of being brushed aside in the boardroom (as so many women were/ still are), only to regain her power and take ownership of HER story. She is proof that anything is possible at any age and I know that she will really inspire you.

You're going to adore Susan and her story!
