What if your business could grow beyond your city… beyond your time… even beyond you?

In this episode of Gig and Go Global, I sit down with Mel Christ from The Franchise Group to uncover how entrepreneurs can scale from local success to national (and even global) brands — without burnout, overwhelm, or massive costs. We dive into the power of franchising — a model that allows you to expand your business by having other entrepreneurs invest in your brand, run the day-to-day operations, and generate recurring royalty income for you. If you’ve built a business that works, this conversation will open your eyes to what’s truly possible when you think bigger.✨

In this episode, we cover:

How to turn your business into a scalable franchise model

Why franchising is the smartest way to grow without working more hours

The biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make when trying to scale

How to build freedom, wealth, and long-term legacy through your business

You didn’t start your business just to stay small — you started it to create impact, freedom, and a life on your terms.

This episode will show you how.

She had stability.A business.A family.But inside… she was breaking.In this deeply moving episode of Think Big & Go Global, I sit down with Simona — a hairstylist, mother of three, and immigrant who made one of the most courageous decisions a woman can make:She walked away from the life she built… to become who she truly is.For 13 years, Simona worked in cleaning — waking up early, working nonstop — while secretly holding onto her passion for hair.Until one moment changed everything.A prayer.A decision.A complete reinvention.Today, she is:✨ Rebuilding her career from alignment, not survival✨ Training as a trichologist (scalp & hair health specialist)✨ Creating a vision for a salon & clinic that transforms women from within✨ Leading a mission to help women reconnect with themselvesBut this story is not about hair.It’s about what happens when a woman:– Loses herself– Finds the courage to start again– And finally chooses who she was always meant to be💬 “Hair is often the first place a woman hides… but it can also be the first place she begins again.”If you’ve ever felt stuck, invisible, or unsure of who you are anymore — this conversation will speak directly to you.👇 Watch now and tell us: Have you ever had to start again?#Reinvention #WomenInBusiness #ThinkBigGoGlobal #FemaleEntrepreneur #Confidence #PersonalGrowth Welcome to Mirela Sula’s official YouTube channel, the home of the Global Woman movement.

In this powerful episode of Think Big & Go Global, Mirela Sula sits down with Chris London, a Facebook Ads specialist, agency owner, and course creator who has sold over 20,000 online courses and generated more than £600,000 in revenue.But Chris’s story isn’t just about business success.Before the growth…Before the visibility…There was survival.Chris found himself trapped in a physically and emotionally abusive relationship, unable to leave because he simply couldn’t afford to. Many nights he slept in his baby son’s room, feeling stuck, exhausted, and unsure how to rebuild his life.Instead of giving up, Chris made a decision that changed everything.In the quiet hours beside his sleeping child, he began teaching himself Facebook advertising.With just £500, relentless testing, and determination, he developed a skill that would eventually become his freedom.Today, Chris helps small businesses start small — sometimes with as little as £5 a day in ads — and scale their growth with confidence.But more importantly, his journey shines a light on something rarely spoken about:Men can experience abuse too. And many suffer in silence.This conversation is about resilience, rebuilding identity, and finding a way out — even when life feels at its darkest.In this episode we discuss:The untold reality of men experiencing abuseFeeling emotionally ready to leave but financially trappedHow Chris turned late nights into a life-changing skillThe truth about starting Facebook ads with small budgetsWhy visibility is critical for entrepreneursLessons from building a £600K online businessWhat it really takes to rebuild your life and identityThis is not just a business story.It’s a story of resilience, courage, and rebuilding from the ground up.If you’ve ever felt stuck — in life or in business — this conversation will remind you that your turning point may be closer than you think.🎙 Podcast: Think Big & Go GlobalHost: Mirela SulaGuest: Chris London👍 If you enjoyed this episode, don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share with someone who needs to hear this story.Welcome to Mirela Sula’s official YouTube channel, the home of the Global Woman movement. 🌍✨Here you will find inspiring interviews, book launches, podcasts, and events that empower women worldwide to grow, connect, and succeed.💻 Become part of the Global Woman community: https://globalwomanclub.com/🚀 Start your journey today: https://lobby.globalwomanclub.com/🎙 Listen to the Global Woman Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/0WBbl2UGfSGJWkksKHDfCG🌍 Join Global Woman Events: https://globalwomanevents.com/#mirelasula #GlobalWomanClub #GlobalWomanLobby #GlobalWomanEvents #GlobalWomanPodcast

In this powerful conversation, Tayaba shares the moment that changed everything.It started on an ordinary autumn morning in London.A trip to the supermarket with her young son…A declined card at the checkout…And a moment that forced her to face a life that no longer felt like her own.

What followed became the foundation of the work she does today.Tayaba is a performance coach and wellbeing strategist who helps people reconnect with who they truly are so they can live and work with clarity, alignment and vitality.Her message is simple but powerful:When you are not aligned with who you really are, life becomes heavy.You feel lost, stuck and disconnected.But transformation doesn’t require a dramatic life change.Often it starts with something much smaller…A reset.
In this episode we talk about:• Losing your identity without realising it• Why so many people feel trapped in their lives• The power of emotional and behavioural resets• How to reconnect with your authentic self• Why clarity and alignment change everythingIf you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your path, this conversation will resonate deeply.

I asked Faustina, my guest at Think Big Go Global, a simple but powerful question:“Do you think you have managed to rise and take control of your life?”Her answer moved me deeply.She said that last year her word was “Rise.”She went through an incredibly difficult personal time and had to rise from the ashes like a phoenix.She remembered something I once said at Global Woman Club:“When you’re at the bottom, there’s only one way to go — up.”And that’s exactly what she did. She rose above the struggles, the noise, the challenges, and decided that enough was enough.This year, her word is “Freedom.”A word that represents strength, resilience, and the power of taking charge of your own life.Moments like this remind me why our community is so special.At Global Woman, women lift each other, inspire each other, and most importantly — take action to change their lives.Faustina is a world champion and a great achiever, but behind the success is a truly inspiring story of resilience and courage.And this is what makes these conversations so meaningful.Watch the full episode on YouTube and Spotify.Apply here to be part of my podcast: https://podcast.mirelasula.com/applyWelcome to Mirela Sula’s official YouTube channel, the home of the Global Woman movement. 🌍✨

In this powerful and deeply moving conversation, I sit down with Dr. Amal El-Hawari — medical doctor, GP, former paediatrician, mother and grandmother — to talk about the one relationship that shapes everything: the relationship between parents and their children.With over 30 years of medical experience in the UK, Dr. Amal shares what she has witnessed repeatedly in clinics, hospitals, and families: when the parent–child relationship breaks down, the consequences go far beyond behaviour issues.We discussed:• Why discipline and behaviour are not the real problem• The hidden health cost of family conflict• How misunderstood words turn into emotional distance• Why children “shut down” — and what it really means• The biological impact of connection and disconnection• How to rebuild trust without shouting, guilt, or fear• The blueprint she developed to restore communication and boundariesDr. Amal explains why parenting stress is not “just stress” — and why ignoring relationship breakdown can affect your health, peace of mind, marriage, and your child’s future.Most importantly, she reminds us:It is not about blame.It is about responsibility.And it is never too late to rebuild the bridge.If you are a parent, a future parent, or someone who wants stronger family relationships — this conversation is for you.✨ If this episode resonates with you, please LIKE, COMMENT, and SHARE it with someone who needs to hear itWelcome to Mirela Sula’s official YouTube channel, the home of the Global Woman movement. 🌍✨Here you will find inspiring interviews, book launches, podcasts, and events that empower women worldwide to grow, connect, and succeed.If this conversation touched you, share it with a parent, a friend, or someone who may be silently struggling at home.One conversation can change a family.am always looking to interview inspiring experts, leaders, and change-makers who are making a real impact in the world.If you have a powerful story, expertise that can help others grow, or a message the world needs to hear, I would love to hear from you.Apply for Studio Pitch Traininghttps://subscription.globalwomanclub.com/studiovip-2025/💻 Become part of the Global Woman community: https://globalwomanclub.com/🚀 Start your journey today: https://lobby.globalwomanclub.com/🎙 Listen to the Global Woman Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/0WBbl2UGfSGJWkksKHDfCG🌍 Join Global Woman Events: https://globalwomanevents.com/#mirelasula #GlobalWomanClub #GlobalWomanLobby #GlobalWomanEvents #GlobalWomanPodcast
