EP 39 - Melissa Jolly: "Work/Life balance is fundamental"

Award-winning Garden Designer Melissa Jolly joins Dominic Frisby
and Juliet Oury on this week’s episode of Business Without
Bullsh-t. 





Melissa’s work has won her the BBC Gardeners World Live
competition and the People’s Choice Award. She's also built 3
consecutive show gardens for Royal Horticultural Society
shows. As well as garden designing, Melissa likes to
renovate houses that have been featured in TV shows ‘Period
Homes’ and ‘Real Homes’. In 2007 Melissa set up her own
garden design company alongside being a full-time mother.





The three discuss Melissa’s career, the intricacies of her job,
the demands the industry is currently facing; the challenges it’s
fallen victim to due to Brexit as well as broadened talk about
the benefits of growing your own food. Dominic also drops a
bombshell of a question on the table - is a Pea a Bean?





Melissa is a great example of someone who's built a business
based on her passion which creates the work / life balance that
is right for her. There’s no reason why all of our work and life
commitments can’t work in harmony with each other, a concept that
seems foreign to a lot of us these days. Take Melissa as
inspiration to believe it’s possible and listen to how she
navigates her thinking to keep her balance sustained.





All-round wholesome food for thought in this episode. Pull up a
chair and press play.
