Imagine you were the alternative Prime Minister. What would you change if you ran the country?

This week’s guest describes herself as the kid who never gave up on the idea of a fair, perfect world and she’s on a mission to challenge societal constructs in her fight for freedom and democracy.

Natalie Balmain is a campaigner, designer and broadcaster, and the winner of Channel 4’s political reality game show, Make Me Prime Minister.  But where did she come from, what led her to compete and what impact did winning the show have on her political mission?

Listen in to find out how her determination to create a place for normal people in politics is transforming her life on her journey to become less Malcolm X and more Dr King!

This episode is for women who want to boost their self esteem, take more risk, and increase their sphere of influence.
