Ep 41: Building a Successful Online Business, with Ciara Attwell

Today I speak with Ciara Attwell founder of My Fussy Eater & Pick Plates. As well as running two businesses, Ciara is a food writer, photographer and cookbook author too! Through her own personal experience of fussy eating kids, Ciara gives practical advice on how to overcome picky eating at home and encourage a more varied and healthy diet. Since launching her website in 2014, Ciara has gone on to help thousands of families with her quick and easy recipes and food ideas for children. In 2018 Ciara launched her recipe App and also published two cookbooks, both of which have been bestsellers in their categories – her third cookbook hit the shelves at the beginning of 2023.   In 2020 Ciara launched Pick Plates, a children’s tableware brand designed to help picky eaters, children with autism or children with sensory food aversions to improve their eating and overall relationship with food.   In our conversation Ciara shares her journey from the very beginning which I always find so very fascinating! She offers an insight to so many of the wise moves she made along the way, where she learned her online business skills from and how she did it, whilst parenting a toddler and a new born. There are so many golden nuggets for you to feast on! Ciara’s business has continued to grow from strength to strength and there is no sign of this go-getter easing up as she continues to develop new ideas, business areas and her team as well. Enjoy this chance to get inside the head of a bold and fearless business owner who has so much to share! It was an honour to chat with Ciara and I know you’ll take so much from it too.

Jo is excited to support women on their business journey with her uniquely holistic and empathetic approach and welcomes a range of expert guests who bring both wisdom & inspiration in equal measure.
