Meeting real-life Barbie and why the cost-of-living crisis isn’t over yet

On this episode Danni and Laura dig into the findings of a survey that reveals that more than 7 million households are still struggling to make ends meet despite falling inflation. And as Barbie celebrates her 65thbirthday we’ll be chatting to one woman who made her living playing the role.

Charlotte Clemie was employed by Mattel to be their official Barbie in the UK before she became a mum of three boys and moved to the other side of the camera, launching her own businesses as a photographer. She’s brutally frank about how difficult she found getting her finances in order when she first started her self-employed journey.
