Hey stunner, I’m writing this with that slightly knackered-but-buzzing feeling you get after something really good has happened. Yesterday, I hosted my very first Socially Shared meeting as the Sutton & Coleshill host. I won't play it down - it was a cracker. A full room. Proper conversations. Women actually talking to each other, not just swapping Instagram handles and legging it. People left with new connections, new opportunities, and the foundations of their 2026 marketing strategy...

Hi Reader! Happy New Year - and welcome to 2026! January always arrives with a strange mix of pressure and possibility, don't you think? Everyone telling you to “start fresh”, “go bigger”, “post more”, “sell harder”… while your nervous system is still recovering from mince pies and end-of-year exhaustion. So this month, I want to do something different. Rather than overloading you with even more actions to do at a time when (clearly) our bodies want to be slowing down and hibernating, I'm...

Hi Reader! Fuck. I owe you an apology with this note. I’ve gone a bit quiet these last couple of weeks. I’ve been intentionally winding things down. Closing loops. Clearing space. Giving myself time to recover from what I think has been, for so many of us, one of the hardest years - in business and in life. I wanted to let this year land properly before I rush headlong into the next one. But I didn’t want the year to end without a final check in, sharing what’s coming, and giving you...

Hi Reader! Almost two years ago, a good friend of mine, Nic Mooney (my best friend and future podcast co-host, though neither of us knew that then) had invited me along to her new networking meeting. She had just become a host for the Socially Shared Women's Business Network, and in all honesty, I didn't really get it. It felt strange to me that she'd thrown her lot in with this other brand - I couldn't understand why she'd give her time to this thing that wasn't her incredible business, and...

Happy Friday!! Well it's the last newsletter of the summer holidays and I’m writing this with my very first pumpkin spiced latte of the year in hand (yes, it’s back!) and a new pair of tiny wellies waiting by the door for my littlest — because crunchy leaf walks are coming. And it got me thinking: September has always felt like the real new year. A fresh start, new notebooks, sharpened pencils… I'll be getting my knitted pumpkins and velvet throws down from the loft this weekend, and I cannot...

Hi lovely, You know that saying about needing a holiday to recover from your holiday?Yeah. That. I’ve just come back from a week in the New Forest with the kids - which was beautiful, muddy, loud, and full of ponies. But between keeping everyone fed, sun-creamed, and entertained, I’m pretty sure I clocked more steps than a Glastonbury security guard. 10/10 would recommend… but also 10/10 would now like to be horizontal for a week. And because apparently I thrive in chaos, I also decided this...

I'm not so good at change. Never have been. As a kid, the start of a new school term would knock me sideways. I’d hate the new teacher. The new classroom. The new routines. And then, after a few weeks, I’d settle. I’d find my rhythm. I’d be fine. Sometimes, change is necessary. This week I've had to make the really difficult decision to take my daughter out of her nursery and put her into a new one. We've had a real issue with consistent staffing that I feel is having a negative effect on her...
