Building a Life Beyond Retail - Tips for Balance and Career Growth

Welcome to Retail Reckoning. I'm Clare Bailey, founder of Retail Champion. In this special episode, I sit down with Steph, a key member of the Retail Champion team, to dig beneath the surface—beyond e-commerce tactics and spreadsheet strategies—to explore the person behind the consultancy. We'll hear how Steph reinvented her life and career by moving to Scotland, reshaping her work to support her passions. Together, we share candid insights on finding real work-life balance, turning business challenges into practical advice for independent retailers, and why building a business should enhance your life—not consume it.
