We have Sheila back on the podcast for this week's episode to talk about her cafe, which she opened around this time three years ago. She ran the cafe on Ponsonby Road in one of Auckland's most expensive areas and from the get-go, things didn't sit right. Despite being urged by family and friends to sell the cafe, Sheila battled on to try and keep Mi-La's Place afloat.

We talk about the reasons behind that decision to open the cafe and to try to keep it running, what that cost her, what finally shut its doors and the things Sheila has learnt from this experience.
