Golden Brands Collective

Three months. A lot of BIG feelings. Plus a pump track and a tennis skirt. Here’s what you’ve missed 🤣

And that’s a wrap on the Golden Brands membership and the start of a much needed summer break for me 🌞⁠
⁠
Apart from a few scheduled posts I won’t be showing up here over the break. A proper rest for me means stepping away from social media for what I think is the first time in the 12 years I’ve been running businesses. It feels very overdue and I’m really looking forward to a slower pace for a little while.⁠

I’ll see you back in 2026 with some updates on Golden Brands 2.0.⁠
⁠
In the meantime, I do have space for a few more 1:1 mentoring clients from February onwards. Send me a DM for all the details.
⁠
Thank you SO much for being part of our community over this past year ✨

BLESSED with the absolute best!!
We are sooo incredibly grateful to every single one of the over 70 women in business who said a big YES to being part of Golden Brands, whether through contributing a masterclass for our community or joining us as a monthly guest speaker.

When I started Golden Brands, I had a list of all the women who inspire me, who I’ve learnt from and who have supported me on my journey. It was basically my dream list of contributors and every single time I pitched to one of these women, I was so excited to get a yes back to be part of GB. To have them want to be part of our platform and share their knowledge and experience to support other women in small business honestly meant so much.

I’m truly so grateful for those who shared our mission over the past 3 years and were so willing to not gatekeep ~ to openly share what they could to help others in a similar position.

This is just a small snapshot of some of those women. I couldn’t fit them all in this post but you know who you are and your support means the absolute world to me.

THANK YOU!🤎🤎🤎

The end of an era for Golden Brands 💛⁠

All the exhibitor magic from this year’s Golden Brands Conference ✨⁠

• The Legal Lounge with Foundd Legal for all your business legals⁠
• The Social Media Audit Booth with Kady O Connell to get expert eyes on your socials⁠
• The Content Booth with Stock Rebellion to refresh your visuals⁠
• The Nerd Girl Café with Kiah Worling for all things systems and tech⁠
• Balance Tax, helping you align your wealth and feel more confident with your numbers⁠
• Small Wins Co to upgrade your client experience⁠
• And of course… The Golden Brands Merch Bar with a few of our fave pieces⁠
⁠
We also had and sharing their beautiful products.⁠
⁠
It was such a joy bringing this space to life and seeing so many of you soaking up all the goodness ✨⁠
⁠
A huge thank you to all our exhibitors for all your support and for making the day so incredible!

To my beautiful friends Samantha and Annabel ~ can we please make this an annual thing?! ⁠
⁠
Despite the fact I basically spent the final week of our trip recovering in the hotel watching 20+ hours of The Summer I turned Pretty and never actaully making it to the beach, it was just the reset I needed. ⁠
⁠
So many late night laughs over random stories about people we have never met and lots of eating (with a bit of shopping thrown in there too). ⁠
⁠
I think it should be mandatory to have a kid free week just like this annually. ⁠

Golden Brands turns THREE (and yes, I’m totally reusing the images from last year so please don’t look too closely at the cake). ⁠
⁠
While initially I didn’t feel like it was right to celebrate the business turning three because of how hard this past month has felt for me, I’ve been reflecting on what this milestone actually means. ⁠
⁠
As we go through the process of burning Golden Brands to the ground, our revenue over the next few months will likely hit zero until I launch the next stage – which to be honest could be months away. A business with zero foreseeable income doesn’t feel like much of a success right now… ⁠
⁠
It hasn’t felt like a celebration this month. It’s felt heavy and extremely difficult BUT I reminded myself that it’s in these moments we need to recognise and celebrate our small wins the most. ⁠
⁠
So for me, hitting three is a big milestone. There’s so much I’m thankful and grateful for and SO much that I’m proud of like…
⁠
✨ Supporting over 350+ women in business through our membership⁠
✨ Another sold-out conference for the second year in a row at my favourite venue⁠
✨ Literally ticking off my dream list of guest speakers – every single speaker I had on that list three years ago has said YES to being part of Golden Brands⁠
✨ Being contacted by women I look up to in business to speak at our conferences, host masterclasses, or collaborate in some way⁠
✨ Seeing women in our community smash their goals in business⁠
⁠
And I think what I’m truly most proud of is how I’ve personally shown up in this space. I’ve shared it all – the good and the bad, the messy bits that happen in between all the highs. I’ve spoken my truth. I’ve shared everything I know and everything that has worked for me. I’ve never gatekept anything. I’ve always been honest. I’ve stayed true to my vision and mission for this business in a way that feels authentically me. ⁠
⁠
And that is exactly what I’ll continue to do as Golden Brands moves into its next chapter. ⁠

Three years, hundreds of members and soooo many lessons later. I’ve learnt a lot about what works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to running a membership.⁠
⁠
I wouldn’t change the experience for the world but I hope by sharing these truths, it helps someone else avoid some of the mistakes I made along the way. 💛
