book a 1:1 informal chat for female founders
Sometimes you just want to talk to another woman who's in the same boat.
Someone who's been through the same nonsense. Who gets that you're making it up as you go along even though you're five years in.
So that's what this is - an easy comfortable no sales chat, about whatever. Your website if you want. Or the fact you can't remember what you're supposed to post on Instagram. Or that the kids are driving you mad. Or nothing in particular.
I'm Eloïse. I run a design consultancy in Cornwall. I'm still figuring stuff out and definitely don't have it all sorted and would love to chat with you!
No agenda, no pitch, no formal consultation thingy-ma-bob
Networking can be awkward, costly and exhausting
I am not saying I don't love it, it has a time and a place and I've met some of the best women through events.
But sometimes we're at these things and... performing. Everyone's crushing it, smashing goals, living their best life. And you're there thinking "I forgot to eat lunch today and I've been wearing the same jumper for three days."
Sometimes you just want to talk to someone else who gets it. Who's also making it up as they go. Who knows that "5 years in" doesn't mean you have your shit together, it just means you've been winging it for longer.
The networking breakfast is £30 and starts at 7:30am and you'd have to find something to wear that doesn't have Weetabix on it.
The freelance community costs more than your monthly Canva subscription and everyone's doing live co-working at 9am on a Tuesday when you're trying to actually, you know, work.
The big conference sounds amazing but by the time you factor in the ticket, the train, the parking, the overnight stay, and the fact you're losing two days of client work, you're looking at your bank account going "absolutely not."
