Just checking in with all our female founders and freelancers... 💭

Just checking you're charging for your expertise, not apologising for it?
Just checking you're making decisions based on your goals, not other people's expectations?
Just checking you're creating boundaries around your time, not being available 24/7?
Just checking you're working ON your business, not just IN it?
Just checking you're asking for support, not trying to carry it all alone?

Your business thrives when you do, so make space to lead, grow and invest in yourself just as much as you invest in your business. ✨

LinkedIn feels harder than it used to, but it doesn't have to be, between algorithm updates, conflicting advice and the pressure to be constantly visible, it's easy to start questioning whether LinkedIn is even worth your time anymore.

The good news is you don't need to post 24/7 or chase every new trend to win business on the platform. When you focus on the right foundations, LinkedIn can still be one of the most effective ways to attract clients and grow your network.

Hosted by , 3 Ways to Sign More Clients on LinkedIn in 2026 (Without Being the Algorithm's B*tch!) will explore:
– The profile tweaks that help turn profile views into enquiries
– How to create content that gets noticed by the people you actually want to work with
– A more natural approach to sales conversations in the DMs
– What to focus on instead of obsessing over the algorithm
– Simple, sustainable strategies that fit around running a business

Expect practical insights, actionable takeaways and plenty of opportunity to get your questions answered.

This month we’re spotlighting Claire Tomlinson, Creative Director of Plot Design and Plot Home.

Through Plot Design, Claire helps homeowners, developers and businesses transform interiors with thoughtful, tailored design solutions. Meanwhile, Plot Home offers a collection of Nordic-inspired furniture and homeware, bringing Scandinavian style into everyday living.

Claire’s top tips:
💡 Start with lighting before buying new furniture. Good lighting can completely transform how a room feels.
✨ Choose quality over quantity, invest in a few well made pieces you'll love for years rather than filling a space quickly with trend led items.
🏡 Create a calmer home with the "one in, one out" rule. For every new item you bring into your home, remove one you no longer use.
