We have been taught that the answer to slow growth is more - more platforms, more posts, more visibility. But what if that belief belongs to a system that no longer fits? I have been mapping human ecosystems for over a decade, and the question that changes everything is not how to reach more people. It is whether you actually know who your people are - and whether you are tending that relationship.
This morning I was listening to a podcast about a woman who left Hollywood, moved to Fiji, and ended up rethinking how investment works from the ground up. Hearing her made me hopeful - in a specific way. That's what a voice from outside your world can do. It changes the altitude from which you see your own situation. That's the seed of the Lighthouse Talks - and the first one is this Tuesday, 28 April, free and online.
Blow-Ink. met on Tuesday mornings at Clonakilty Library, with a hunger for connection and writing. The group was small but deeply invested in sharing work, translating and writing new work in both English and their mother tongues. We had participants from France, Spain, Poland, Pakistan, Mauritius, Israel and Ukraine. This zine is the result not only of the workshops, but also the energy, enthusiasm and artistic talent of the group.
Celebrating six months of Her Circle, we’re marking International Women’s Day with a community climb up Knockomagh Hill overlooking Lough Hyne. Open to everyone — women and men — this gathering is a celebration of women, care-centred business, and a hopeful future rooted in balance and belonging. Join us on March 8th.
What if we operated in this world within our capacity? What if we didn’t have to navigate the constant experience of lack?
With the new year starting, I felt the pull to design and clarify 2026. But I didn’t feel ready. 2025 went so fast, and I was tired. The holidays did not charge me up. I came into January with a deep need to rest, to stop.
I didn’t feel clear, and the idea of deciding on yearly goals and setting up projects made me want to crawl under the duvet.
Exciting news: Her Circle is officially launching!
Our first in-person group for female entrepreneurs in Ballydehob is confirmed and ready to meet on September 15th. With a fantastic group of 7 women already committed, we're building a powerful community to combat the isolation of running your business.
If you're a female founder in West Cork or interested in an online group, now is the time to secure your place. These circles will launch as soon as we have enough members for a vibrant and supportive dynamic.
Ready to move from overwhelmed to in command? Join our community and find the strategies, clarity, and peer support you need to succeed.
For the female founder, the creative entrepreneur, and the local business owner who is pouring her heart into her work but feeling overwhelmed, overstretched, and under-rewarded.
Running a business can be a lonely journey. You're the visionary, the maker, the marketer, and the bookkeeper, all rolled into one. But when the weight of it all leads to burnout, it's time for a new approach.
