My guest this time is Nicky Denson-Elliott – serial entrepreneur, founder of the Wilder Collective and host of the Women’s Business podcast. Nicky is focused on elevating female founders and redefining success beyond conventional hustle culture.

We explore the realities of building businesses as women plus the latest research behind internalized misogyny (the internal dialogue and conditioning that influences how women value their work and themselves).

Join us as we take a tour through Nicky’s career pivots, from launching an events business to starting a unisex kids’ clothing brand during the pandemic, to launching her own podcast and the birth of The Wilder Collective.

We delve into reframing success beyond money and status and the reality of balancing entrepreneurship with life, expectations, and authenticity...

We’re lucky enough to get an early insight into the gloriously titled ‘Good Girl Economics’ research Nicky has been conducting over the summer with (past guest of the podcast) Leila Ainge which aims to quantify and illuminate how women price their services and perceive other women’s success.

You’re exhausted from being all things to all people. Madly juggling parenting, elder care, job, health. Maybe you’re also supporting your young adults who aren’t quite ‘fully fledged’.

If you feel like you’re constantly teetering on the brink of burnout and playing ‘Whack-a-Mole’ with possible peri/menopause symptoms…

Then Holding Up The Sky is the safety net you didn’t know you needed but is going to change the game for you.

A community that builds in:

• group coaching (with two accredited coaches, alternating once per fortnight)

• expert workshops (on topics like breathwork, dealing with burnout, yoga therapy, perimenopause, navigating SEND systems, divorce, elder care, bereavement and more)

• quarterly Q&A sessions with GP and BMS Advanced practitioner Dr Beth Thomas

• community support - dip in and out as much as you wish

• available on desktop or app, toggle between both on the go

• practical advice and resources (links, books, podcasts, worksheets) so you can navigate your way through the “midlife collision” without losing your sh*t…

This is for you… if you’re a midlife woman feeling like they are doing Everything, Everywhere, All At Once...and want to rewrite your narrative before you reach burnout.

This isn't… another program promising to "fix" you in 30 days. This is a membership space built from hundreds of conversations about what we actually need:

Permission to not have it all figured out

Practical tools that work in real life (not just on Instagram)

A community that gets it without you having to explain

Expert guidance from people who've walked this path
