What Zoë Foster Blake Knows About Being ...

MAMAMIA PODCASTS
About this episode

If there’s one thing we’ve learned from this podcast so far, it’s that things aren’t meant to be perfect. But try telling that to a perfectionist.

Zoë Foster Blake, a self-described perfectionist, doesn’t always see it as a positive trait. In her conversation with Clare Stephens, she shares what she’s learned about embracing failure, recognising when she needs space to recharge, and the interviews and events she chooses not to do.

Is Zoë Foster Blake happy? You’ll have to listen to find out.
