Held+Free walks alongside Australian women who are navigating crisis while running a business.
We exist for the women who are holding their livelihood in one hand and their survival in the other. The ones who cannot simply “step away” from work when life becomes overwhelming.
We offer a unique combination of warmth, guidance and practical tools designed specifically for self-employed women facing domestic violence, illness, caring responsibilities, financial upheaval or partnership breakdowns. Through our events, resources, podcast and community spaces, we help women protect themselves and the businesses that sustain them.
At Held+Free, we walk beside women as they steady their lives, their safety and their work, even when the ground beneath them is shifting. We understand how isolating crisis can feel, especially when you are responsible not just for yourself but for clients, income, reputation and the business you have built.
And that is why we are here: to make sure no woman ever has to navigate that intersection alone.
