Ep 62: Fulfillment and flexibility from a franchise, with Feola McCandlish
Manage episode 485223732 series 2890215
In today's episode, I chat with the wonderful Feola McCandlish, who shares her inspiring journey as a Daisy First Aid franchisee. Feola opens up about her transition from a demanding career in graphic design and marketing to finding a business model that allowed her to balance work with family life.
In our conversation, Feola explains how she struggled to return to a traditional workplace after having her first child, feeling torn between her career and desire to be present for her children; an all too familiar dilemma for so many of us! After investigating various options, she discovered Daisy First Aid—a franchise teaching life-saving first aid skills to parents, schools, and businesses—which and this proved to be a perfect fit for her circumstances.
Perhaps what struck me most in our conversation, was Feola's profound personal transformation. She reveals how stepping far outside her comfort zone—particularly in overcoming her fear of public speaking—has built her confidence in ways she could never have imagined.
We also explore the benefits of the franchise model, and how it can provide autonomy of business ownership alongside the support of an established community, as well as the flexibility that allows being fully present as a mother.
So whether you're considering a career change, looking for flexible work options, or simply interested in the franchising model, Feola's journey story offers valuable insights about finding fulfilment through purposeful work that truly accommodates your personal priorities too. Enjoy the show!
