The First Few Steps

I’ve always loved beginnings.

There’s something about a blank page, a new notebook, diary or pencil case for school, a new season, or a quiet idea finally spoken aloud that holds so much promise. But starting a new business? That’s a beginning unlike any other, equal parts thrilling and quietly terrifying.

Over the past week, I’ve stepped softly into this new chapter, one foot in front of the other. No big launch, no bells or whistles, just me, a handful of carefully gathered dreams, and the quiet determination to build something meaningful announced through a post on Instagram!

And then… the enquiries started.

Not many, not loud, but beautifully aligned. From thoughtful, soulful businesses doing extraordinary things, the kind I’ve long admired from afar. Each message has felt like a gentle nudge from the universe saying, keep going. Each one has reminded me that the values I’ve held close, slowness, purpose, connection, are shared by others too.

To those of you who’ve reached out: thank you. Thank you for trusting something so new. Thank you for seeing the potential in what I’m trying to create. Your warmth, your intention, your belief, it’s meant more than I can properly put into words.

I don’t know exactly where this journey will lead, but I know it already feels right. And for now, that’s more than enough.

Here’s to small beginnings, brave steps, and the quiet magic of being seen.

With so much gratitude,
Emma x

On Friday, 1st August I Launch Myself into the World as a Freelance Marketer

It marks the beginning of something big, not just a new job title, but a new chapter. After months of planning, learning, growing, and dreaming, I’m officially launching myself into the world as a freelance marketer.

This leap isn’t just about working for myself; it’s about working with purpose. About choosing projects that inspire me, aligning with brands I believe in, and crafting marketing strategies that not only sell, but connect.

Why I Chose Freelancing

I’ve spent 20 years in the traditional marketing world; climbing ladders, joining meetings that could’ve been emails, and creating great work that too often got buried in layers of approval. I learned a lot. But I always knew I wanted more freedom:

• To work on my own terms
• To say yes (and no) with intention
• To create real impact with every client I serve
• To make a difference

Now, I finally get to do that.
