💬 Community Engagement Thread
January 2025
This post is part of my monthly Community Engagement Thread series, free to all of my subscribers. If you’re looking to join a supportive community to chat about all things motherhood, creativity, neurodiversity, then you’re in the right place! Come on in…
Hi Friends!
Welcome to this month’s Community Engagement Thread! I’m so excited to create this space for conversations with all of you.
Recap on how it works:
Imagine we’re all sat in a living room, it’s completely informal and relaxed, we have our drinks of choice and we talk and chat and natter about whatever is on our minds. Sort of like a book club meeting without the books (should there be books?!). I suppose if we didn’t all live in different countries and time zones, and we had enough energy and time and space, we could meet on Zoom to do this, but none of that is true, so we bring it to a monthly post to chat instead 😅.
I’d love to hear your thoughts, questions, and experiences around the main topics of this community:
✨ Motherhood
🎨 Creative business
🧠 Neurodiversity
What’s going on for you in these areas right now? Is there something you’re navigating or figuring out? Maybe you have a question, a win to share, or just need a sounding board – this space is here for all of that. This community is here for all of that.
I’ll be hanging out in the comments, and I can’t wait to see what conversations spark from this! Feel free to reply to each other’s comments too – the more conversation, the better!
Speak soon,

Let’s build a business that’s baggy enough to live in.
My 12 year old is having lots of homework from her online school and since it’s still new to her to work this formally, she needs me more. And my 3 year old gets jealous. And my husband also wants my input on his work. And my own business needs me, and I need myself so… I feel torn and anxious, and I want to just be alone and do what I need to do by myself 🫠
My baby is having an MRI scan right now. I’ve just got back from helping the anaesthetist put him to sleep and everyone keeps saying to me (well meaning) that I can go and “let it all out now”, and “well done for holding it all together”. I used to be a surgical nurse and have assisted anaesthetists hundreds of times to put people to sleep. I’m now convinced that the staff here think I’m heartless and cold 🤦🏼♀️🤣. I’ve enjoyed a coffee and I’m currently reading through my Substack inbox. The staff seem baffled. I don’t understand 🤯
