Welcome dear friend, to the ‘Dare to dream big’ podcast. My name is Anastasia Dimitriadou and in these sessions I invite you to join me and my amazingly creative guests for some raw, unedited conversations about what it really takes—behind the scenes—to make your dreams come true.

Today you are listening to a Amalie Schmidt from Visju.

I am telling you, Amalie is on a mission. Women represent half of the population, and she believes this must be reflected in our economy. Visju is creating a transparent platform where interiors and conscious choices go hand in hand - and ensure that female entrepreneurs are supported, so that we can increase the share of the only 4% of new female entrepreneurs in Denmark and around the world.

This is probably the episode where I share the most compared to the other episodes so far, I had an emotional moment just when Amalie walked in, with a theme that often knocks on my door, the desire to be supported or in other words not to be alone. That was such a funny coincidence since Amalie is all about supporting women.

From there the conversation takes off and we talk about why physicality is so important to her, where her inspiration comes from, what travelling means to her, we talk about her daily ritual of smudging which we couldn’t find the word for while we were talking and the importance of stillness.

We also talk about how we actually met, which is a funny story and we then we go over to talk about the moment she quit her job and if she felt like she made the right decision.

Amalie tells us about the limiting beliefs she is observing in her network of women and her own biggest struggles when starting out and how she got her first customer without a website, without anything really besides a passionate story.

Amalie is such a passionate Feminist. Equal rights in all aspects are so vital to her and you will hear why. Having a big why is so important in business I think so you are going to enjoy hearing hers.

Finally we talk about role models we need as women for ourselves and why becoming new role models for our children is so important.
