EP34 - Kerry Ridley - Starting a Business over 50

In today’s episode, Sarah chats with quirky Kerry Ridley, owner of My Little Bookshop. Recalling travelling with her family to be one of the best experiences of her life.

Tune in to hear Kerry’s journey to how My Little Bookshop began, to what it looks like today only 3 years after she started her own business in her 50’s. Sarah and Kerry laugh about the things people say that we put up with when we’re younger compared to what we put up with as we grow older, and wiser.  

Kerry shares her advice to anyone looking to start their own business later in life - she’s sure glad she did. There are so many women out there over 50 doing their own thing and kicking goals - don’t regret not giving it a go. There’s also talk of confidence, feeling less inclined to explain yourself, and not having to deal with the self-doubt her younger self would if she had taken this path sooner.

Hear how she sold her first book, and all the fun things that take place inside her beautiful indi bookshop located on Rockingham Foreshore here in Western Australia. A place for community, empowering women, and inclusivity.

Such an inspirational podcast for women listeners of any age.
