September 2025 - Walk and Talk Morning for Heart-First Founders

🧢 If you can't make this walk because of school holidays, hopefully you can make the October and November walks! 👟

A Walk and Talk for Heart-First Founders

Have you been craving a space where you can feel good about your softness, sensitivity, and kindness as a superpower in biz?

Would you like to gently refill your energetic cup away from your screen with like-minded, heart-not-hustle founders?

Join the club ❤️‍🔥

Join me for a relaxed walk along the coast with small biz owners who feel the same.

Let's explore what it means to stay true to our soft natures as we grow a brand and envision our impact.

In a safe and inclusive space, we'll remind ourselves that success shouldn't exhaust us or see us lose our heart-first values.

It can be slow, nuanced, and deeply meaningful.

Especially if we can support each other through⚡

DETAILS

Meeting point: Canteen, Trigg (outdoor section)

Walk route: Canteen > Mettams Pool > Clarko Reserve 

Gather from: 9.45am

Walk at: 10am - 10.45am

When you RSVP, I’ll send a little reminder email the night before. This will include my mobile number (just in case you’re running a few minutes late), any wet weather updates, and a note on what I'm wearing so you can spot us easily at the meeting point if we haven't met before ✨

Morning flow:

We'll set off on a gentle 2km (30-min) walk from Canteen, heading north along the stunning coastal footpath and turning around just after Mettams Pool.

Before we part ways we'll find a spot to relax at Clarko Reserve and pause in a simple sharing circle - offering space to wrap up our conversations, or just quietly soak up the company.

You're welcome to join in however feels right for you - whether that’s connecting, sharing, or simply enjoying the energy of kind, kindred founders and a fresh Boorloo breeze 🙏

This is a gathering for:

❤️‍🔥 Soulful small biz owners whose default is kindness and empathy.

✨ Those who’ve ever been made to feel their niceness is a disadvantage and are finally ready to own it as their greatest strength.

🙏 Founders who want to stay true to their softness, let it set them apart, and attract aligned clients.

🥤 Founders,and soon-to-be founders, who don't want to harden themselves or risk burnout to find success.

🍁 Anyone recovering from an experience with a client or contractor that left them feeling unsafe or small.

The vibe:

🌿 free and low-key

🐚 no networking; just connections

🌻 no pressure; no need to be 'on'

👟 honest chats that stay between us

🌊 a kindhearted hideaway

😊 feel seen, heard, and cup-filled

Why I'm doing this:

Hi, I'm Adele from Bookleaf Copy 👋 Over the past six months, I’ve had two biz experiences that left me feeling completely depleted from the lack of empathy and kindness that was shown – the things I value so much. Since then, I've felt inspired to start a little wave of self-care and support for heart-first founders who give so much. Because I don't want us to burnout. I want us to have belonging, boundaries, and to protect the gift of our sensitivity so we can keep doing the amazing work we love. So here's to bravely, intentionally, and imperfectly calling in community that feels like home for all of us; a tribe that values the many benefits of a softly, slowly, kindly approach ✨ 🌊🌞

If this is calling your name, I really hope you can join 🧡
