Working with creative small business owners since 2021. Proudly based in North Yorkshire, UK.
Helping creative small business owners build
a simple, flexible and sustainable business
that supports their life, not the other way around.
Self-led courses & resources to simplify your process
and build a business that’s baggy enough to live in.
There’s something for everyone, designed to
meet you exactly where you are
on your slow business journey. Let’s work together.
I thought I had it all figured out, both personally and in my business, until life threw me a (very cute, 6 lbs) curveball.
I had to rebuild my business in a way that worked around my family, my neurodivergence, and my mental health. Now, I help other creatives do the same. Because life happens, and you deserve a business that supports you, not drains you.
I’ve created resources, services, a community and a membership to help you
build a business that fits your life, not the other way around.

Welcome
I’m Sophie
It‘s lovely to meet you
A slow business specialist for creative small business owners who are ready to build a simpler, more sustainable business.
Being a creative is just one part of who you are, I know firsthand how challenging it can be to juggle building a business and keeping on top of personal and family life. There’s no magic wand that we can use to duplicate ourselves (trust me, I’ve searched!), but there are ways to simplify and create a flexible rhythm that works.
Weekly letters from around the campfire
Finding Simple and Calm
My entire business is based upon a metaphorical forest retreat, and around the campfire is where I share my story and the stories of others trekking a similar path to me in a weekly(ish) letter.
The stories of creative business owners, tired parents, neurodivergent minds, and anyone whose body, brain or life doesn’t fit a typical 9-5.
These are raw and personal stories, shared without judgement, about the often messy but beautiful reality of creating a life and a business in a world that wasn’t built for us. These are your people, this is your place.
Work with me
