Gloves on 🥊
This week, Bloomers took over Corner HQ Gym for an evening of boxing, networking, and stepping outside our comfort zones. @trainwithcornerhq
From first-timers to future regulars, the session brought together an incredible group of women from across the industry for a fun, high-energy workout and a chance to connect in a different setting.
Post-session conversations (and protein shakes) rounded off the evening perfectly!
A huge thank you to @captify for supporting the event and providing our matching T-shirts 😊
We are very proud of our Vice President, @saskiastarritt who joined the @wacl2 panel yesterday.
The session reflected on the power of community and what it really takes to build it.
One key learning was that we grow faster when we connect with people who share our values, and we have to put ourselves out there - even when it feels uncomfortable.
To have a village, we need to be a villager. When we invest in people, they invest in us.
We don’t just find community, we create it 💜
🥊 Bloomers Boxing is on NEXT WEDNESDAY 🥊

Advice from the Panellists 🌸🤳🏼🎤
It was a real privilege to attend and capture moments from Bloom North’s panel event, a room full of inspiring women in business, all coming together to share, connect and support one another.
At the end of the event, I had the opportunity to speak with the panel, who shared some incredible wisdom and honest advice.
A few key takeaways that really stood out:
🌸 Success is personal-define it on your own terms, not by comparison
🌸 Listen to your body and honour your pace
🌸 The power of community is everything-lift others as you grow
🌸 Make space for joy, even when things feel serious
A truly inspiring event and a reminder of the importance of intentional growth, both personally and professionally.

She gets why so many of us feel stuck… and more importantly, how to move forward in a way that truly fits who you are.
If you’ve been feeling like you’re hitting an invisible ceiling, or waiting for permission to take that next step - this is your sign 🤍
- Real reflection
- Evidence-based tools
- A clear action plan for your next steps
- A room full of women ready to thrive (not just survive)
