In this episode of FETE: From Employee to Entrepreneur Stories to Inspire, host Katy Berrill explores what flexibility truly means in business and life. Drawing from her 11 years of entrepreneurial experience, Katy shares how building flexibility into her business model allowed her to adapt through challenges like COVID, balance work with raising three children, and create a company that thrives without being tied to rigid hours or locations. She reflects on the evolving meaning of flexibility, from escaping rigid corporate structures to creating freedom of choice, designing a business that fits her life rather than the other way around. Kate also highlights practical decisions that built resilience, such as running a remote-first company, avoiding unnecessary overhead, and empowering her team with flexible working arrangements. Packed with real stories and insights, this episode challenges the idea that running your own business is “risky” and instead shows how flexibility and freedom can make entrepreneurship both sustainable and rewarding.
