JUNE REFLECTION: The triumphs, the challenges, and the heartfelt experiences⁠

At the end of each month, I take a moment to assess what unfolded — the successes, the stumbles, and all that lies in between.⁠

Here's what I happened in June: 👇⁠

✧ After more than two years of virtual chats, I met my biz buddy face-to-face for the very first time.

✧ My lovely niece tied the knot!

✧ I met the boy baby and the girl baby and they are absolutely adorable!

✧ My affirmation cards are currently at the printers and nearing completion! 3rd time lucky 🤞

✧ Co-created a course with & met some lovely new humans to experiment with.

✧ Plus, I've started my first tiny experiment!

The reason I create monthly recaps:⁠
• To acknowledge & celebrate growth (even the growth that’s hard to see)
• To stay connected to my purpose in this journey
• To remember what I actually did each month!

👇 Interested in joining me?⁠

Type RECAP in the comments, and I’ll send you this Canva template and some tips so you can highlight your own monthly wins.

Let’s prioritise progress over perfection.⁠

I've been working BTS on a collection of done-for-you templates and decided to follow the process I use with every client. Here's my process and progress so far... what would you add?

1. Focus on your ideal customer. Listen to what they're saying.
2. Create a customer brief (purpose, audience, plan & research)
3. Design. (create a mood board, choose fonts, colours & style)
4. Build. Test. Iterate. Refine. (including how-to videos, links, support)
5. Promote it. (Create content, build offer, social posts, emails, collab)

I'm in step 3 right now and designing away... but keep hopping back into step 1 and 2 for more feedback and research.

I keep reminding myself that successful projects need 3 things:

1️⃣ Know your target audience and their pain points
2️⃣ Create offers that fix them
3️⃣ Be visible, so people can find you

Here's my work so far... do you like it? Does it resonate with you? Would you design something differently? Let's chat!

👉️ Save this morning affirmation:

Last year, I would wake up with a pit in my stomach—worried about sales, engagement, and feeling completely overwhelmed by social media.

So I started each morning with simple affirmations like this:

I welcome deep abundance into my life in all forms.
Abundance flows to me freely.

I repeated it before checking my email. Before opening Instagram. Before writing a single word of content.

It reminds me that abundance isn’t just about money or followers—it’s about opportunities, connections, inspiration, and making things easier.

I started to notice I was attracting more of the right clients, collaborations, and even moments of space I didn’t know I needed.

If you're a midlife maven trying to grow your small business online and feeling like you're doing it all wrong, start here.

✨ I created a FREE set of printable affirmation cards to help you reset and reconnect every morning.

👉 Comment "AFFIRM" below and I’ll DM them to you! 👈

Carousels are gold for engagement — especially if you're not ready for video (yet).

But most people are posting them wrong.

👉 This post walks you through how to create swipe-worthy carousels that grow your visibility (and your confidence) — without techy faff.

✨ Here’s what’s inside the carousel:

- A juicy hook to stop the scroll

- The common mistake that kills your reach

- A simple structure that gets more eyes (and saves you HOURS)

- A bonus hack to boost shares

- And a CTA to grow your audience

If you’ve been staring at Canva wondering what to say or how to design it — this one’s for you, friend.

Save it.
Share it.

And, if you’re ready to share your story, grow your business, and rise with support — follow me for more.

Last week, I got a message from a student in my Post Like a Pro course. She needed help resetting her password, so I popped into the backend, sent her a new link, and off she went.

She replied:
“It works perfectly, thank you Louise 🙏🏻
And just to let you know I love your newsletters ❤️”

💌 That last bit? It made my day.
Because honestly, it’s easy to feel like you’re sending emails into the void.

We all get busy. We mean to reply. We think “I’ll get back to it.”
But we rarely do.

That quick little note reminded me why email is still the most personal, powerful, and underutilised tool for growing a business that’s built on trust and real connection.

In this week's newsletter, I share 3 simple ways to improve your own newsletter (you are sending out newsletters, right? 😘)—and a free tool to help you gather testimonials (aka golden social proof) that does the selling for you.

Let's breathe & say NO to things that don't light us up!⁠
⁠
Do you ever feel like your schedule resembles a pretzel – twisted and knotted in all directions? As entrepreneurs, we often wear many hats: teachers, marketers, content creators, sales people, customer support... the list goes on! But remember, we all need healthy boundaries.⁠
⁠
Here's how to shift our mindesets into setting clear "no's":⁠
⁠
✦ Before responding to every request, take a breath and inquire within. Does this opportunity align with your current goals and energy levels?⁠
⁠
✦ Notice the subtle shifts in your body and mind. Does a "yes" feel expansive or constricting? Trust your intuition!⁠
⁠
✦ Saying "no" isn't weakness; it's prioritising your wellbeing. It empowers you to show up fully for the things that truly matter.⁠
⁠
✦ Saying "no" creates space for saying "yes" to what nourishes you.⁠
⁠
Taking care of yourself isn't selfish – it's essential for sharing your gifts with the world. ✨⁠
⁠
How do YOU set boundaries as a solopreneur? Share your tips in the comments below! 👇️⁠

✨APRIL RECAP: The highs, the hiccups, and the heart moments⁠

Each month, I pause to reflect on what actually happened — the wins, the wobbles, and everything in between.⁠

Here’s what April taught me: 👇⁠

✦ I joined a 30-day Reels challenge. I made it to day 15 before life life’d.⁠
What I learned? Memes work. Plans shift. No one’s counting but you.⁠

✦ My affirmation cards are so close to launching on Etsy. Printing delays + added tariffs? Yep. But I’m learning patience and trusting divine timing.⁠

✦ I wrapped a software design project (hello, happy client).⁠

✦ I updated my website — beatnikdesign.uk — to serve heart-led solopreneurs like you.⁠

✦ I also took an unexpected trip up north for a family loss.⁠
A reminder that time is precious. Hold your people close. Keep showing up for what matters.⁠

This is why I do a monthly recap.
To celebrate progress (even the invisible kind).⁠
To stay grounded in why I do this work.⁠

👇 Wanna join me?

Comment RECAP and I’ll send you my Canva template + tips so you can share your own monthly wins (and make it easy).⁠

Let’s celebrate progress over perfection.⁠

Grief cracks us open — but in that space, something sacred can take root.

This past weekend, I celebrated the life of a family member — gone at almost the same age I am now.

It brought me face-to-face with a quiet truth:
We don't always feel the changes until they shake the ground beneath us.

The loss of a loved one.
The loss of a job.
The quiet ache of watching your body change through menopause.

These aren’t just endings.
They are openings.
Uninvited, yes. But powerful.

And while we’re in the thick of it — grieving, raging, unraveling — we can’t always see what’s waiting on the other side.

But here’s what I know:
In the hollow space that loss creates, there’s room for something new to grow.
Not to replace what was, but to honour it — by becoming more of who we are.

A softer strength.
A deeper knowing.
A wilder kind of love.

So if you’re in it right now, feeling undone or unsure — I see you.
And I promise, this space you’re in? It’s not empty. It’s fertile.

This is your sign to stop playing small.⁠
⁠
🚨 The excuses? The fears? The self-doubt? Let’s leave them behind.⁠
⁠
Try the "Yet" Mindset:⁠
⁠
❌ I'm not good enough⁠
✅ I'm not good enough yet.⁠
⁠
Growth happens when you give yourself permission to learn.⁠
⁠
You were never meant to play small. You were never meant to stay hidden. You were born to shine, to create, to lead.⁠
⁠
So take up space. Speak your truth. Show up boldly. Because you belong here. And you are so, so worthy.⁠
⁠
Comment AFFIRM and I’ll send you a free set of affirmation cards to keep you inspired every single day. 💛⁠
