Today a journalist interviewed me about my art for a magazine. Whaaaaaaaaat 🥲🥲🥲 Amazing things happen when you try. Amazing things happen when you do the thing even when it feels uncomfortable. 1.5 years ago I said yes to a challenge by Amie McNee in her book WE NEED YOUR ART to make a tiny piece of art every day for 14 days. I was drawing sonic the hedgehog and felt like an idiot. I didn’t know what to draw but I did it. Now I have a collection, I’ve hosted two exhibitions and an artists statement and prints available to buy. And I have a best friend who sends me her drawings every day and I send her mine and we call each other artist - these wee moments are one of the joys of my life. If you’d told me this would be the case when I was drawing sonic the hedgehog I’d have laughed at you. The pull I feel to draw old women faces on walls is LOUD and calling me every single day. Was I put on this earth to help women re-learn it’s ok to look old? MAYBEEE!!!! genuinely feel like this is just the start. I believe everyone has an artist within them. I know you don’t feel good enough and don’t know where to start and don’t know why or where or how but you need to start. As Amie McNee says, we need your art 💋 love a very happy wee artist ###x ps. Who’s got a wall I can paint ? I’m dead serious 🍑

MOTHERS 💫 This is the last day to join Mothers of Boys Bond. If you’ve been watching me build this and if you are curious and keep coming back to it - now is the day to buy your ticket.

We both know there’s a huge crisis unfolding for all of us and our boys are part of the solution.

I’ve had lots of messages thanking me for building this but this is when I need you to show up to do the work. It’s been very challenging because these platforms are suppressing all my content about it. You can help my liking, sharing or commenting on this post.

There’s never a good time to do this work. There won’t be some perfect moment when you have the headspace to challenge misogyny, help prevent male violence and raise boys who feel safe expressing their emotions. We have to take the time. Make the time. This work is urgent now.

I’d be honoured to do this work alongside you. Please message me if you have nay questions at all. And if you don’t have a boy and want to support please share the link with a mother you know.

Brave mothers who’ve said yes - I’ll see you online at 5.30pm for our first expert session on UNDERSTANDING BOYS 💫

Get your ticket through the link in my bio or comment BOY

Yesterday a major new report by police chiefs has found that a rise in volience against women and girls is linked to online and harmful content (no sh*t Sherlock) The threat to women and girls has been declared a national emergency.

When I think about that news my body is twitching to leap into action. I don’t want to talk about it anymore, I don’t want to watch another documentary, I don’t want to wait any longer for these institutions to take action. I want to DO something.

I want to give you a way to DO something. We must put our anger and fear to work. Every single time I meet with Lorna Walker, our Mothers of Boys Bond expert, she makes me feel hopeful. There is so much to hope for. We have so much more agency than we realise.

That’s what Mothers of Boys Bond is for. Six LIVE calls with an expert, practical guidance and a community of mothers doing this work together. Somewhere to bring your questions and leave with tools you can pracrtice with your family immediately. Our focus on week 3 is TECHNOLOGY: Online culture. Social media. Gaming. Algorithms. Influence. How to stay connected without becoming the police.

We start on 2nd November. You will...

🩵 Better understand how boys experience the world
🩵 Learn how your own emotions shape your responses
🩵 Recognise limiting beliefs and assumptions you may hold about boys
🩵 Feel more confident navigating difficult conversations
🩵 Learn how to respond rather than react
🩵 Feel less alone in the challenges of raising boys
🩵 Build stronger relationships with other mothers navigating similar experiences

And if you’re not a mother of a son, you probably know someone who is. Please forward this post to her. Please it in your parents’ WhatsApp group. Tell a friend, “I thought of you when I read this.”

There is so much to hope for. Let’s put that hope to work.

Get your ticket today. Drop +1 in the comments and I’ll send you the link. We start in 11 days. £98 per month for three months 💙 Kinder boys. Safer men.

CALLING ALL BUSINESS OWNERS 📣 This week I met a founder who was despairing at her lack of pipeline and she was starting to question everything. Our conversation made me realise that we aren’t honest enough about this part of running a business.

Ok here goes... business development is *hard*. It’s particularly hard if you are selling your time.

These things happen a lot and are not fun:

❌ People don’t answer your emails.
❌ People say yes to your face and then disappear.
❌ People say no and don’t tell you why.
❌ People reply to your email without answering the question you asked.
❌ People ask for a proposal and then never speak to you again.
❌ People say they’ll introduce you to the right person and then don’t.

Most of the time, none of this is personal. But when you’re the person doing the outreach, having the calls AND worrying about where the next piece of work is coming from, it can feel very personal! Alongside all of this, you can build relationships that progress and lead to revenue. People do reply. People do say yes. Things do happen.

HOWEVER, if every lead that goes quiet sends you into a spiral about whether your business is over, you’re going to make an already hard job even harder.

The good news is I’ve been an entrepreneur for 17 years, and it does get easier.

You get better at asking the questions that tell you whether someone is serious. You get better at following up. And you get better at knowing at moving on. One unanswered email isn’t very interesting but twenty unanswered emails is useful. Who are you approaching? What are you asking them for? What happens next? Getting comfortable with rejection is a non-negotiable part of growing a business. So is learning from it.

There’s so much I wish I didn’t have to learn the hard way. That’s why I’m working one-to-one with a few founders over the next 3 months on building, selling and scaling their businesses, including this part. If you’d like to work with me, drop +1 in the comments and I’ll send you the info. We’ve got 72 days left to GET THE MONEY IN FOR 2026. LFG 🚀
