Wild Walk Mentoring

Exciting news!
I’m thrilled to be leading the Art of Enterprise Project in partnership with West College Scotland, a dynamic initiative designed to empower 15 incredible women in the Inverclyde area.

This project is all about unlocking potential, building confidence, and nurturing entrepreneurial spirit, alongside a network of inspiring organisations, we will be providing mentorship, guidance, and real world support to help each woman shape her own journey.

It’s an honour to be part of something so meaningful – where collaboration, creativity, and community come together to make a lasting impact.

Let’s champion women, celebrate ambition, and build futures together!

A wonderful evening was had supporting RHET (Rural Highland Education Trust) fundraising dinner, a vibrant celebration of community, purpose, and generosity.
From the lively casino tables to the auction shenanigans, every moment was dedicated to raising funds that help bring the story of food, farming, and the countryside into classrooms across Scotland.

The energy in the room was electric, proof that when we come together, we can make a real difference!

Grateful to be part of a community that values both education and the healing power of nature. Here’s to more conversations, more connections, and more muddy boots.



I’m on the far right, without a woolly hat and walking boots for a change! 🤣🤣

In Scotland, November light is fleeting – but it’s still ours to claim. Inspired by the beautiful work of Katie Patterson, I’ve started marking my own daily dose of daylight: a moment outside, however brief, to feel the sky, the air, the shift in season.

This photo is from earlier today. No filters, no fanfair – just me, stepping into the light that’s still here. It’s become a quiet anchor in my day. A way to remind myself (and my mentees) that restoration doesn’t need to be dramatic. It can be as simple as showing up for the daylight.

If you’re feeling scattered, tired, or just a bit November-ish…… try it. Step outside. Let your body notice the light. Let your mind rest in it. And if you feel like sharing, I’d love to see your daily dose too.

Did you manage to get outside today?

Whether you’re navigating change, seeking clarity, or just craving a moment to breathe, we walk beside you. No pressure, no performance. Just gentle steps, shared stories, and space to reflect.

We don’t drag you up a mountain. These are lowland walks, at your pace, with time to talk and settle into the rhythm of the land.

📍Scotland’s landscapes, your pace, our care.

We’re now taking bookings for January 2026 walks, perfect for starting the year with intention and warmth.

DM to find out about mentoring sessions, or join the next group walk on Eventbrite to find out more. You’re welcome here.

This morning’s OOO Friday walk brought together three brilliant humans, two muddy dogs, and a whole lot of insight. We were joined by:

Laura from SoloPaws, Caroline from Gooddoggie, Steve Bonthrone from Personal Trainer, Monty Dawg (mine) and Harris (Laura’s), who kept us company and added their own flair to the morning…

We wandered, talked business, swapped stories, and shared what’s unfolding in our worlds. Steve reflected on how people stories - not only the “what” but the “why” - are drawing more attention online. Laura’s bookings are rolling in for 2026… and even 2027! But with SoloPaws, it’s always a mix of long-term planning and last-minute magic.

Naturally, with two dogs and Caroline in the mix, we found ourselves deep in conversation about pet behaviour, quirks, and the joy (and chaos) they bring. The walk ended with Harris rolling gleefully in muck before leaping into Laura’s car… so here’s a snap of the post-walk shower scene.

These walks are gentle, grounding, and full of unexpected wisdom. Whether you’re a solo founder, a creative thinker, or just craving connection in nature - there’s space for you here.

I stepped out today feeling a little heavy hearted, the kind of mood that only a walk might shift. Rain was pouring as I left home, but just 15 minutes in, the sky cracked open - blue stretching wide above me like a quiet promise.

I’d never walked this route before. It dipped and climbed, a mini adventure that nudged me gently out of my head and into the moment. The sun began to thread through the trees, lighting up the damp Scot Pine and Bracken with a golden shimmer. That earthy, rain soaked scent – so familiar, so grounding - wrapped around me.

One tree caught my eye. It had clearly fallen years ago, it’s roots twisted and moss soft, yet somehow it still held a crown of pale green leaves, almost golden. Resilient. Beautiful. I slowed my breath – inhale, hold, exhale – and felt my mindset shift. The ground was soft with soggy leaves, and the air had that warm, post rain hush that makes everything feel possible.

If you ever feel like this – fed up, foggy, or just needing a reset – you’re not alone. That’s exactly why I host OOOFriday and The Welcome Walk. The gentle, sensory rich walk is designed to lift your spirit and reconnect us with what’s real. You’ll find them on Eventbrite, and you’re always welcome to join.

So….. how was your day? Did anything shift for you?

Today Monty dawg and I walked in cloud, wrapped in fine rain, the kind that settles quietly on your coat and cheeks. Visibility was low, but spirits were high. And then, just as we reach the summit, the sky lifted. The cairn stood waiting, solid and in sight, marking our arrival.

Lunch was a bagel, shared with a view - rolling hills, soft light, and that unmistakable feeling of having made it. Not rushed. Not performative. Just present.

These walks aren’t about my performance. They’re about noticing. About arriving, together, even when the path is misty. Mentoring in motion, with space to breathe, reflect, and be 💚
