I’ve always loved being a creative entrepreneur and have run several businesses over the years, but traditional networking? That was never my thing. Don’t get me wrong—it has its place, but for me, as a creative business owner, it just didn’t fit.

Sitting in a room that felt like a school assembly, under harsh artificial lighting, surrounded by so much noise I could barely hear myself think… only to nervously wait my turn for a 60-second pitch? Not exactly my idea of a good time! I’d talk so fast, trying to cram every last detail of my business into my slot, only to spend the next few minutes overanalyzing what I didn’t say—completely missing what the next few people were talking about. On the plus side, I always remembered the last person who spoke! 🤦‍♀️ My nervous system was frazzled every time.

For a while, I toyed with the idea of creating a different kind of networking group—one that actually suited me and other women like me. I knew it needed to be for female founders in creative and wellbeing businesses because that’s where my heart is. Let’s face it, many of us work alone, and while that gives us freedom, it can also be isolating. I know that feeling all too well.

After a decade of feeling physically sick at the thought of networking, I stopped going. And for a while, that was fine. Until it wasn’t. I started feeling disconnected and lonely in my business. My confidence—never the strongest to begin with—took a hit. Growing up as a sensitive, introverted child with a narcissistic mum had already shaped me to doubt myself, and now, the longer I stayed in my little business bubble, the harder it became to step back out. I started questioning whether I even had anything worthwhile to say about my own business!

Then, COVID hit. And, honestly? I let out a long sigh of relief. Finally, a pause. A chance to stop, reflect, and really think about what I wanted from my entrepreneurial journey. And that’s when Creative Wellbeing Circle was born.

We’re on an incredible journey, and we’d love to invite you to join us. As women in creative and wellbeing businesses, we are building something truly special—a space where we can connect, support, and empower each other, both personally and professionally.

Because here’s the big question: Who is nurturing the nurturers?

Where do we go to refill our own cups, take a breath, and connect with people who truly get it? That’s what Creative Wellbeing Circle

is here for—a supportive space designed for female founders in creative and wellbeing businesses, by female founders in creative and wellbeing businesses.

There’s something so powerful about bringing like-minded women together. We’re here to champion collaboration over competition

and to empower each other as we navigate the wild, wonderful adventure of life and business.

We’d love for you to be part of it. 💛
