Prue Leith: “You can’t have it all!” How to ask for help with work and family

Can women have it all? Renowned restauranteur, cookery writer, and Great British Bake Off judge Dame Prue Leith doesn’t think so. In this chat with Fearne, Prue explains why she’s glad she built her career before having children, and why no one should feel ashamed of asking for help with their business or family in order to keep everything afloat. Prue – who had the confidence to found a restaurant when she’d never worked in one – gives advice on never letting a lack of knowledge get in the way of starting a new passion project. She also tells the story of finding love again at 70 after being widowed, and explains why she’s so passionate about legalising assisted dying. The Great British Bake Off returns to Channel 4 on Tuesday 2nd September. If you liked this episode of Happy Place, you might also like: Zandra Rhodes Davina McCall Richard E. Grant Hosted on Acast.
