The Thrive Collective: Autumn Edition

A Seasonal Circle for Women Solopreneurs

Do you long for a place to grow your business in community, not in isolation?

Aspen trees teach us that thriving happens in community. Above ground, each tree stands on its own, while beneath the soil they are connected by vast root systems, quietly sharing resources, offering support, and nourishing one another.

The Thrive Collective is that kind of network.

It’s a supportive space to heart-storm new ideas, share dreams, and grow together, all within a community of women that values mutual thriving and a gentler, more sustainable approach to business.

Join me for four online gatherings this fall, from September to December.

Together we’ll honor what’s unfolding in our businesses and lives, and support one another in thriving.

Four supports to help you thrive this season

ONE

Seasonal focus

Set a guiding goal or intention for the season that feels meaningful and doable. Each month we’ll check in on your progress, offering gentle accountability and encouragement along the way.

Community of women

A supportive circle where you can share ideas, receive feedback, celebrate, be seen, and grow together. There is an optional What’s App group to stay connected between gatherings.

THREE

Seasonal themes & invitations

Each month we explore a seasonal theme with a simple invitation to reflect on before our circle, creating space to tend to your business with intention.

FOUR

Tech tending practice

Each month you’ll receive a small, doable practice to care for your digital presence. These simple updates help keep your online home aligned with the work you’re most excited to share.

Meet Shelagh, your companion and guide

I believe that to thrive is something we do best in community.

Aspen trees may appear as individual trunks above ground, but beneath the soil, they are connected by one vast root system, sharing resources, supporting one another, and growing together. Ecologist Suzanne Simard discovered that these underground systems are not random or competitive, but relational, intelligent, and deeply reciprocal.

What if we approached our work and our businesses in the same way? Not as strategy or transaction, but as a living ecosystem where support, insight, and encouragement flow both ways. This is the spirit of The Thrive Collective. It’s about who we’re connected to, how those connections nourish us, and how we show up in return.

Through my work as a web designer, mentor, and space-holder, I support women in tending to their businesses with intention, showing up authentically, and thriving in community.

Seasonal Bonus

Alongside our group gatherings, each woman in the Autumn Edition is invited to book one personal mentoring session with me at a reduced rate.

This 60-minute session is a chance to:

  • Explore your Seasonal Focus more deeply

  • Receive extra support with your business or digital presence

  • Move through a specific question or challenge with dedicated attention

Special Autumn Rate: $60 CAD (regularly $80 CAD)
Limit: one reduced-rate session per participant

This is completely optional, but it’s here if you’d like to go deeper in a focused, personal way during the season.

How to join

The Thrive Collective is intentionally small so that the circle feels both intimate and robust. I’m opening 8 spots this autumn, which feels like a sweet size for connection and depth. If more than 8 women want to join, I may expand to 10 total, as long as it feels spacious.

If you feel called to join, the first step is simply to reach out. Send me an email introducing yourself and sharing what draws you to The Thrive Collective. I’ll be in touch to confirm your spot and send along an invoice for the season.

Your place is held once payment is received.

This personal step helps me get to know you and ensures that the group is a supportive, aligned space for everyone who gathers.
