I love supporting small businesses. It is why I set up The Content Club, an online membership, that supports overwhelmed business owners to learn more about content creation, and to address the anxiety and imposter feelings that can sometime show up, when we need to be visible online.

I am passionate about normalising the conversations around mental health, and helping other small business owners, particularly those balancing self employment around family commitments.
