In this week’s episode, I sit down with Mel, the founder of Body Remedies, who shares her inspiring journey from life on the frontlines as a paramedic to creating a thriving holistic wellbeing business.

After two decades in the NHS, a single life-altering incident pushed her to rethink her future, and ultimately, take the leap into entrepreneurship.

We look into the challenges of leaving a secure career, the emotional rollercoaster of starting something new, and how Mel transformed her passion into a sustainable business.
