Professional Networking For women in business 📸🌊

The scariest part of any room is the door. So here's what's on the other side of ours.

You arrive. Someone says hello before you've found a seat — usually one of us. There's a drink waiting (it's included). Conversation starts small and gets real fast, because nobody here is performing.

You leave with names you'll remember and the strange feeling of having been properly seen on a Thursday night in Lanarkshire.

No pitching. No business cards thrust at you. Just a room of women you need.

She’s been in business for years. She’s good at what she does.

But she’s been doing it mostly alone. Making decisions in her own head, celebrating wins quietly, sitting with the hard stuff because there’s no one who quite gets the full picture.

It’s not advice she’s short of. It’s the women.

The ones who are really building something too. Who’ll be honest with her. Who she actually looks forward to seeing.

That’s exactly who The Wave is for.

We spend so much time talking about growth. Strategy. Momentum.

And somewhere along the way, we stopped asking whether we were actually enjoying it. THE JOY MOVEMENT with Dr. Sarah Madigan is coming to July’s Chatter Night to talk about JOY - real joy, not the Instagram version - and honestly, we cannot wait.

Because we think it’s one of the most important conversations ambitious women aren’t having enough.

She’ll also be powerfully hot seat coaching someone so it’s a super exciting chance to be coached by a world-class transformational coach.

Have you got your ticket yet?

The decisions you make alone in your own head. The wins you celebrate quietly - because who do you even tell? The hard weeks you carry because nobody’s got the full picture.

Nobody warns you about that bit. Business does its loneliest work in private.

We know, because we’ve lived it. When Ashley faced a big decision in her business, I was one of her first calls. When I’ve changed direction, she’s been mine. And inside The Wave it’s the same — women have renamed their businesses, changed direction completely, road-tested each other’s websites, built workshops together. Because they had a village to think out loud with.

It takes a village. We need people around us. And if we’re not there for one another — are we really there for ourselves?

We are so excited about this one.

July's Chatter Night has a guest, Dr Sarah Madigan, and she's coming to talk about JOY.

Not the performative kind. Not 'five ways to feel better on a Monday.' The real thing, what joy actually is, why so many of us have quietly stopped prioritising it, and what it looks like to build it back into a life that's full and busy and genuinely good.

Chatter Night. July. Lanarkshire.

This one's going to be something special.

Tickets at the link in bio. Don't sleep on this one.

A quick note from us, and we'll keep it short, because if you're anything like us, you've spent the last few days melting gently into a chair.

With the heatwave in full swing and the end of school term upon us, we've decided to give tonights event a little breathing room. So rather than gathering in a warm room when half of us are juggling end of term madness and the other half are wilting, we're going to wait for a moment when everyone can really show up and enjoy it.

Here's the good bit. We'll be back in July with the wonderful Sarah Madigan, and we couldn't be more excited. Together we'll be looking at the JOY of business and Sarah will be doing some hot seat coaching live in the room. It's going to be brilliant.

And because we clearly can't help ourselves, August won't be one event but two. More on those very soon.

Keep cool, enjoy the 3 days of summer we're getting, and we'll see you in July.

This is your final call for Chatter Night.

Thursday 25th June. The room is nearly full and tickets close soon.

If you've read every post this month and thought 'maybe next time', we gently want to challenge that. There's always a reason it's not the right month. The diary's full, the timing's off, you don't know anyone yet.

None of those reasons will ever fully go away. So come anyway. Come exactly as you are, with all your reasons not to, and let the room do the rest.

We'll save you a seat.

What an amazing few days travelling down to Newcastle for

We’re so proud of our businesses and our Wave Collective ladies who keep smashing it out the park but we’re also so proud for all of us business owner mamas who keep grinding, keep looking to better to ourselves and putting ourselves out there.

Atomicon was really eye opening, really inspiring and overall such a wonderful few days. Thank you to for putting on an incredible event. We can’t wait to see what next year brings!

Were you there? We’d love to know!

Networking has a reputation problem. And honestly, it's earned it.

The rooms where everyone's pitching. Where you spend an hour talking about what you do and leave feeling vaguely hollow. Where connection is transactional and the follow-up never comes.

That's not what Chatter Night is.

It's a room where someone asks you how it's actually going, and you tell them the truth. Where the conversation goes somewhere real before the starters have even arrived.

We built The Wave because we'd both been to enough of the other kind.

Tell us... What's the best conversation you've had in a business room? Drop it below.

Yesterday’s Connect Club was exactly why we do this.

This one was all about summer... That particular juggle of running something you love while the kids are off, the routine goes out the window, and “balance” starts to feel like a word someone invented purely to wind us up. No fixing, no five-step plans. Just honest women saying the quiet bits out loud, and everyone realising they’re not the only one.
There’s something about an hour with women who just get it. You come in carrying a week, and you leave a little lighter.

This is part of being a Wave member — every single month.

If you want in on the next one, the door’s open.
