You Can’t Grade Grit: Why No One Asked for My GCSEs - Trigger Warning

You Can’t Grade Grit: Why No One Asked for My GCSEs - Trigger Warning

What if the thing that built your career wasn’t your qualifications—but your grit?


In this brutally honest episode, I share how I went from a complicated, abusive childhood and academic overachievement to building a thriving creative business with zero formal training in my field.


I am unpacking:

  • Why my 14 GCSEs and top A Levels never actually opened doors
  • How trauma shaped my need to excel—and how I broke free
  • The myth of “proper” qualifications in creative industries
  • How self-taught creatives can build powerful careers without permission


Whether you’ve felt gatekept by education, been told you’re “not creative enough,” or are simply done waiting for the ‘right time’ to start—this episode is your sign to burn the rulebook.


You don’t need a degree to make noise. You need guts, Google, and the willingness to begin.
