When Numbers Finally Tell the Truth - Retail Reality Check That Changed Everything for My Client
About this episode
Resilient Retail Club member Petrina Reddy from "Saints at Sea" thought she was doing everything right — until the numbers told a different story.
In this episode, she joins me, Catherine Erdly, to share the moment she realised her retail business wasn’t actually working the way she thought it was.
We talk honestly about the emotional side of facing your figures, the hard decisions that come next, and how Petrina rebuilt her business with clarity and confidence.
If you’ve ever avoided looking too closely at your sales or stock levels, this is the wake-up call you didn’t know you needed.
