What I Wish I Knew Before Becoming a Female Entrepreneur with Sheen Gurrib

Smart. Ambitious. Still doubting yourself? You’re not alone.

In this powerful episode of The Brave Table, I sit down with the incredible Sheen Gurrib—a scientist turned creator, entrepreneur, and host of the Dream Girl podcast—to unpack the quiet battles so many high-achieving women face. From imposter syndrome and perfectionism to the pressure of being “everything to everyone,” Sheen shares what it takes to rewrite the narrative.

A proud Mauritian and the first woman from her country to attend both Oxford and Cambridge, Sheen knows what it’s like to feel out of place in spaces that weren’t designed for you. Now a leading voice on feminine leadership and authentic reinvention, she’s helping women own their power, speak up, and build community—in real life and online.

Whether you’re navigating identity, building a personal brand, or questioning what success really means—this one’s for you.
