We have some truly amazing exhibitors at Find Your Power, and these incredible ladies are spending the day with us so that you can speak to them in person 1-1 throughout the day to learn more about what they do to help us all.

You can even book to stay the night and make full use of the Spa facilities. As well as our speakers and stands we have a couple of workshops for you to try yoga, belly dancing, fitness, or to learn more about tantra.

I am delighted to announce that our tantra workshop will be delivered by Kendal and Tatiana, of Freedombridge Tantra. I am a big fan of tantra and wish that more people explored this, rather than porn when learning about how to connect in the bedroom, and in life generally.. that is why Find Your Power is about helping to raise awareness of conversations that need to happen, but often don’t.
There are many misconceptions around Tantra, the most common being that it is all about sex. Although modern Tantra does explore sexuality, it is much more than that.
Find out the ways in which the practice unites sexuality and spirituality, and its transformative healing powers.
By turning our attention within ourselves, we are able to notice and start to let go of anything that is no longer wanted: stresses, anxieties, past traumas and more. In its place, we are able to start to feel more joy and pleasure in our minds, bodies and lives.
The mindful practice of Tantra can bring more intimacy and connection to ourselves, as well as the relationships we have with other people.
This introductory talk gives a glimpse into the world of Tantra, with suggested follow up resources at the end for those who want to delve deeper.
This talk will be delivered by Kendal and Tatiana of Freedombridge Tantra, take a look at their website HERE and Tatiana’s Tantra Bodywork website HERE
Space will be limited on this workshop and so it crucial to reserve your place early on in the booking process. To book your ticket for the Find Your Power Event which talks about emotional, physical, financial and professional wellbeing, as well as sexual wellbeing – visit the ticket page here
We are so proud to announce that Emma Hardcastle, co-founder of sistr, will be joining us as an exhibitor at the 2021 Find Your Power Event at the stunning Heythrop Park Hotel in Oxfordshire. co-founder Emma Sayle will also be joining us with Killing Kittens, but that’s a different blog! None of our exhibitors need to exhibit, that’s what makes this event so special, they are attending to answer your questions and talk to you on a one to basis throughout the day.
I didn’t hesitate to join the sistr network, following my own journey in business, and as co-founder Emma S says: “sistr is a fantastic resource for women to connect and support each other. I’m a firm believer in the power of us all working together and no other platform creates a space for women to empower one another the way that sistr does. I built my business by getting out there and meeting people I could learn from, who were willing to help me. I’m delighted to be able to help other women do the same in a truly industry progressing way, and this is just the beginning!”
The sistr Difference
#sistryougotthis
We’re on a mission to re-imagine the world of networking by giving women access to a community of inspiring and supportive peers, mentors and friends. No matter your industry, profession, age, social status or education, you are a sistr.
Women are different. We think differently, feel differently and approach things differently and current social & business networks aren’t set up for that. They support a world that was built for men and can be an intimidating place to ask a question. That’s why we built sistr, a place for women to nurture, collaborate and inspire each other.
We believe women are stronger when we come together and that’s why we’re revolutionising the idea of traditional networking by giving people who identify as women a chance to connect with each other in a way that feels natural rather than transactional.
Thank you Emma for joining us for this event and offering your information and advice to our delegates. We appreciate you!
Find Your Power 2021 is an event to talk openly about Emotional, Professional, Financial and Sexual Wellbeing – You can find links to Emma’s website along with our other exhibitors HERE

Do not underestimate the power of the serenity prayer, and the power of your own ability to look beyond C19. Of course there is fear, and we all want to be here to look back at C19, but outside of taking precautions, whether or not we fall victim to C19 is pretty much out of our control, at least until the vaccine comes in, so what can we do? of course, we can hope for health, but then we need to look at our other fears, fear of financial hardship, fear of loss of work or home, vehicle, status or life’s little luxuries. This is where I am very lucky. I have lost everything, at least in the material sense, my home, my car, my personal belongings that had any value as I sold them bit by bit for food when the payday loans ran out.. it is tough, but, it will not destroy you, it is short-term pain. I know it’s a cliche, but the best things in life really are free. Nature, love, we can talk on the phone, we can indulge in tv and social media to interact. We can PLAN. You can also talk to companies about debts, normally you can freeze interest and make nominal payments until you get back on your feet, and you can ask people not to call you if you are vulnerable to breaking down with the pressure. Just trust others to be human if you give them the chance.
I was living in terrible conditions, I could not afford a fridge or a cooker, any kind of TV ariel or internet, a car, or food with nutrition, but I walked to the library, I walked in the woods, I boiled eggs and potatoes in the steamer and I planned, I planned my life, my business, my work, I studied, I accepted what I could not change in that moment in time, and I looked forward to all of the things I could. I was sad that I could not go to the festival, but I put in on the calendar for two years later, I knew that I would go, I just had to know that this wasn’t the year that I would go. I couldn’t visit family, to embarrassed to declare fuel poverty and too proud to ask for a visit. My point, don’t get stuck in this moment. It can be very painful, and many things will change, but you have a life beyond Covid, you have a future, whatever that looks like, and if you can live it with gratitude and peace, you will be happy, even if you are not rich, in the financial sense. The only thing we need to do is get thru it, be patient, trust our medical professionals to come up with a vaccine, trust that next Christmas will be beautiful, shared with those we love, and that next Halloween we will have parties and next summer we will hug everybody we love, more grateful for BBQ’s, weddings and picnics in the park! We have SO much to look forward to. Please don’t get lost in the moment. Please don’t let the Cortisol win.
Your body [I read] cannot produce Cortisol and Oxytocin at the same time, so you can force it either way – we are what we eat they say! With every bite of mushrooms, peppers, tomatoes,spinach and avocado you are protecting your body and your mind from a deep depression – trust me – I’m the lab rat!
I am also a Confidante, and offer one to one appointments via Zoom – you can book an hour with me HERE, just to talk.
Also, in March 2021 I am co-organising Find Your Power – an event that WILL go ahead, even if C19 debilitates it short-term, we will move it if we have to, but it WILL go ahead, we WILL laugh, we will hug, we will love and produce Oxytocin so that C19 can not survive he airwaves.

You are all very powerful today – you can spread love, or you can spread fear. We are what we eat, only give your brain the good stuff, the long-term vision, so that it can keep the short-term in perspective.
We are so proud to announce that Chrissie Lowery, Owner of the Cuddle Bed Company and Heartizan, will be joining us as an exhibitor at the 2021 Find Your Power Event at the stunning Heythrop Park Hotel in Oxfordshire.

Heartizan is a community of fabulous women offering support, technical help, mentoring and a programme to help women build their creative businesses. You can view the Heartizan website here: www.heartizan.uk.com Heartizan is a multi award winning company, with Theo Paphitis giving his backing through Small Business Sunday, amongst others.
Chrissie is also an author and as well as being there to chat, she will be selling and signing copies of her book. This book not only will motivate and inspire you but also it will teach you how to build your creative business…a practical “How-to Guide” that will make the magic happen for you! The Cuddle Bed Company was born to solve a problem for Chrissie’s family after she had to give up her nursing career because of chronic illness.

We are so proud to announce that Jess Heagren, CEO and Cofounder of That Works for Me, will be joining us as an exhibitor at the 2021 Find Your Power Event at the stunning Heythrop Park Hotel in Oxfordshire. As well as our Speakers our exhibitors are incredible businesses who are spending the day with us to talk to you all on a 1-1 throughout the day, to offer insight, information and advice.
Here’s a note from Jess:
Flexible working – ever wonder if it’s a bit of a unicorn? Something that sounds perfect but that you’ve never actually seen in real life? It’s not! Jess Heagren is CEO and CoFounder of flexible working platform, That Works For Me. Keeping parents in the workplace and stopping skills going to waste, That Works For Me brings businesses the skills and people they need to grow, when they need them, in an really affordable, easy to use platform.
“I’ve held a range of Director positions in UK insurance giant DLG. Like many women, I found that a senior career in a financial services corporate, plus a young family just didn’t work. I decided to leave and found myself as a mother of two, with 15 years of experience in buying, selling and leading businesses, with nothing to do but play building blocks.
The more I spoke to other Mums, the more it seemed there were a million others in the same boat as me. I saw more talented women in baby groups than I had seen in most board rooms!
I was speaking to a good friend one day who had previously worked as a marketing director for one of the UK’s biggest alcohol brands. She was considering working in the local off license a couple of days a week. Behind the till. I was furious. How could this be happening? How could there be so many experienced, talented women out there unable to find work doing the thing they were good at, just because they don’t fit a standard 9 to 5?
A few weeks later another friend of mine called me in tears. She was on the brink of going bust. Her highly successful company was hours away from going under because her too-junior finance person had reported her cashflow wrongly.
“Why don’t you have a CFO?” I asked (after I had pacified her of course!). She told me her business wasn’t big enough to fill a full FD role.
I suggested she hire a mum, or someone only looking for a day or two’s work a week, “you’ll get the skills you need, and they will have the hours and mental stimulation they need…it’s a win for everyone!”
I started to wonder if anything existed to bring together talented people looking for flexible work, with businesses in need of the skills they deserved – it didn’t.
I found expensive recruitment agencies at one end of the spectrum and freelancer platforms at the other. But nothing in between that could provide an affordable, digital solution that was easy to use, with flexible working at their core. So together with my best friend and now cofounder Nic, that’s what we built.
We launched That Works For Me last December and now have over 3,000 members.
We so often see small businesses and agencies stop themselves from accessing the expert help they need because they believe they’re too small, or can’t fill a full time role. It’s frustrating to know that businesses need flexible employees when there are so many people out there desperate for this kind of work.
What we have created for businesses is a marketplace of thousands of experienced professionals ranging from social media managers to lawyers – all looking to work flexibly, remotely and outside of the 9 to 5.
Since we launched, over 90% of registered businesses have found the skills they need and deserve – when they need them – on our totally affordable, digital platform. It’s wonderful to see. Now, we just need more people to know about us so we can crack on with those connections!
We would love members of the Single Mums Business Network to register with That Works For Me, so we can help you reach your business goals before the end of year.
If you’re looking to boost online sales, need a fantastic digital marketing strategy to drive traffic to your website, or a really strong social media voice to bring customers to you – we’ve got you covered!
We have hundreds of UK-based social media managers, thanks to our relationship with Digital Mums. If you haven’t heard of them they are an amazing business that has re-trained hundreds of social media and digital marketing experts, who have gone on to find success with the BBC, Disney, LinkedIn, YouTube and many, many more. Digital Mums trained social media managers will help you attract and engage with your target customers.
Digital marketing is another specialty. Our experts can help you work out how to bring new customers to your website and get them to buy. Just what you need to bring in some additional income for the rest of this year!
We also have HR specialists, finance folk, project managers and loads more! Check them out here!
If you’re thinking about employing people flexibly and aren’t sure where to begin. We can help. If you need some support with your finance and reporting, we can help with that too!
Register now, set up a profile and start searching for people that are exactly right for the size, scale and project at hand. Or contact us to arrange a chat. We would love to hear from you.
That Works For Me offers a monthly membership that includes unlimited job posts starting from just £63. Use discount code SMBN2020 for 10% off your first 3 months before the end of this year.

We are so proud to announce that Asa Baav, Founder of Tailor Matched, will be joining us as an exhibitor at the 2021 Find Your Power Event at the stunning Heythrop Park Hotel in Oxfordshire.
Asa Baav is a dating and relationship coach, matchmaker, and founder of Tailor Matched. Here’s what Asa says:
Over the last few years I’ve gone from not allowing myself to feel, attracting the wrong type of men in my life, self sabotaging, living a shallow life to now living my purpose, attracting love and most importantly I have learned to love myself.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have always known that there was a sensual side to me, from wanting to be a Playboy Bunny, constantly reading the sex-expert column in the paper & exploring my own sexuality. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was 2016 and I received the promotion I had worked toward every day for over 10 years.
I had the 6-figure salary. I was the first female board director for one of the largest PR agencies in the country. I was voted in to join two Committees to consult with the industry’s most senior practitioners on the issues PR and communications faces I was an international mentor for the world’s largest PR body
And that same year I had also sunk to the lowest point in my life.
My love life was in tatters, my sex life unfulfilled, and self love had long since taken a back seat to ambition.
That year I was the loneliest and most confused that I have ever felt.
Outwardly, when dating, I was a polished, accomplished professional and I had always kept the two sides separate, as I felt that was the right thing to do..
Needless to say, it never worked out. There was a big part of me that I concealed from suitors. The side that didn’t fit the dating profile I thought one should portray⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I would then get bored of dating because I didn’t find that deeper connection I was looking for. This, in turn, led me to look for men who I was only physically attracted to and where neither of us wanted anything serious. Surprise: that didn’t fulfil me, either⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I found myself in this never ending-circle of yo-yoing from one end of the spectrum to the other – trying to decide which ‘side’ of me to give up. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I thought I couldn’t be both⠀
Going into my 30s, I decided that I no longer wanted to hide the real me and through my journey I have met so many other people in a similar situation.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That’s why I created Tailor Matched – to make real connections materialise on a deeper level, to be a catalyst for wanting it all and making it happen, to make it possible to talk about what really matters to people when dating with no judgement and without shame.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I stepped out of my comfort zone and created the life I desire.
I now stand tall I now stand up for my future and against my tired (yawn) belief system; against the old narrative that had stopped serving me well. I have learnt how to silence my inner chatter, because my past really does not need me anymore – learn from it move on I set my own boundaries I say yes only to that which is aligned with the life I want to lead. Before I commit, I ask, “Is this what I want?”
By falling, by truly hitting that bottom, I have risen to a place I was meant to. I am liberated in life, in love and sexually I continue exploring what makes me fulfilled. I can promise you all, there is no vanilla in my life. I have stamped on shame and I am not afraid to explore my way. I am on a continuous journey to sexual liberation; learning is for a lifetime.
I am continuously improving my life – no holding back; strength lives in the mind, body and soul.
Don’t wait to go after what YOU really want – your time is now. I am here to help you with the challenges, hindrances and whatever you will face on your journey.
Thank you Asa for joining us for this event and offering your information and advice to our delegates. We appreciate you!

We are so proud to announce that Ceri Griffiths, a financial adviser who works exclusively with women who are getting divorced will be joining us as an exhibitor at the 2021 Find Your Power Event at the stunning Heythrop Park Hotel in Oxfordshire.
Here’s what Ceri says:
I’m Ceri Griffiths, I am the Founder of Willow Brook Lifestyle Financial Planning, and I’m a financial adviser who works exclusively with women who are getting divorced.
If this is you, then you probably need a financial expert in your corner, but the thought of sitting in front of a sleek city adviser when you are feeling so emotionally raw and financially unprepared is intimidating.
That’s why I use social media. I‘m passionate about breaking down the corporate and cold image of financial services, and sharing the real people behind the advice.
On my Instagram and You Tube channel you will find inspirational posts, useful and informative guidance and posts about my real, down to earth life, my thoughts on feminism, parenting and my crazy horse of a dog Waffle.
I know that you might not have been the financial manager in your relationship, that there could be some shame and apprehension around sharing what you do know about your money. I get that you may think that finances are scary, and not your thing.
I want you to know that you are not the only one in this position, and that it’s quite normal to not know your finances. I can help you really understand them going forward, so you can make savvy, informed financial decisions.
I want you to know that you don’t have a huge mountain to climb, as much as financial services would have you believe this stuff is difficult, I promise you it really isn’t.
I want you to know that you’ve got this.
You just need to take the first step.
If this resonates with you, please reach out and set up a meeting, or come and see me for an informal chat at the event. I would love to hear from you and help you on your journey.
(p.s. I am Chartered and Fellow, the highest qualification within my profession, so you are in such very safe hands!)
Thank you Ceri for joining us for this event and offering your information and advice to our delegates. We appreciate you!
