Скачать или смотреть Power, Tax, and Trust: What’s Going Wrong in the UK

In episode 19 of Driven Women by Cash and Rocket, Laure Ferrari joins Julie Brangstrup for a candid, wide-ranging conversation about politics, power, pressure, and personal resilience.

Laure shares what it’s really like to step into the political world, a space she describes as brutal, ruleless, and relentlessly personal. From her early career in France to campaigning, public scrutiny, and navigating life alongside a major political figure, she speaks openly about the compromises, criticism, and strength required to survive in public life.

The conversation explores the current state of UK politics following the latest budget, the long-term impact of Brexit, rising taxation, public safety concerns, and why a lack of real business and negotiation experience has weakened leadership. Laure also discusses immigration, energy independence, education reform, and the importance of creating an environment where businesses and entrepreneurs can thrive.

Beyond politics, this episode goes deeper into faith, mental resilience, charity work, education, and why children and women’s causes matter deeply to Laure. She reflects on handling public judgment, developing thick skin, staying grounded, and the personal rituals that help her reset in high-pressure environments.

The episode closes with a powerful message to women considering politics, and to anyone navigating visibility and criticism: stop worrying about what people think, because holding yourself back helps no one.

This is an honest, unfiltered conversation about courage, conviction, and responsibility in a world where opinions are loud and consequences are real.
