Meet Cathy Fiebach: Building Community Through Independent Bookselling
In this episode of The Carol Beringer Method: Amazing Movement, host Carol Beringer welcomes Cathy Fiebach, owner of Main Point Books in Wayne, Pennsylvania. With 11 years of independent bookstore ownership experience, Cathy shares how a spontaneous purchase of bookshelves after Borders closed launched her entrepreneurial journey. Join Carol and Cathy as they explore how running a bookstore connects to overall wellness, the importance of community spaces, and how Cathy's commitment to Pilates has supported her physical health for over 15 years. They discuss Cathy's involvement with Book Smiles—a program bringing books to children who need them—and how Main Point Books serves as a "third space" where people can develop communities around shared interests. Whether you're a book lover or seeking inspiration to pursue your passion, this conversation offers valuable insights about business ownership, community building, and balanced living.
