Welcome to Market & Me
Running a business is a lot.
The big wins. The WTF-am-I-doing moments. The “can I just take a nap?” days.
That’s why we built Market & Me - a place for founders in retail, hospitality, leisure and lifestyle (and the people who support them) to get clarity, support, and real-talk strategies to grow in a way that actually works.
Whether you’re launching, scaling, or re-finding your spark - we’re here to back you with practical advice, honest coaching, and a support system that doesn’t disappear when the session’s over.
Maybe you're launching your first space. Maybe you're five years in and rethinking it all. Maybe you're doing the creative work that brings other people’s businesses to life.
Wherever you’re at - We’re here for it all.
We’re here to root for you, challenge you, and give you tools, strategies and mindset shifts to help you grow a business that not only thrives, but feels damn good to run.

Introducing...
The Market & Me
Social Club 🥂
More than networking. Way more than small talk.
The Market & Me Social Club is a space for founders and indie business owners who want real connection.
Think IRL socials & meetups. Weekly virtual check-ins. Honest convos. It’s where shared challenges turn into shared wins - and business doesn’t feel quite so lonely anymore.
🫶 Book clubs, business dinners, expert sessions, masterclasses and a 24/7 online space to ask, share and connect.
We open the doors a few times a year. Join the waitlist to get first dibs when we do.
Hey, I'm Sophie 👋
Running a business is hard - sometimes really hard - but it shouldn’t be lonely, overwhelming, or a one-way ticket to burnout.
I needed a different way to do business. One that felt more human. More sustainable. Less like a never-ending to-do list, and more like something I actually wanted to wake up to. A space where you don’t have to have it all together, where you can ask questions, get real support, and grow in a way that works for you.
That’s what Market & Me is here for.
Business isn’t just strategy and spreadsheets. It’s 2am ideas, Monday morning wobbles, and trying to stay focused while juggling literally everything else. I know, because I’m living it too.
Market & Me was born out of a gap I felt - for grounded, honest coaching and community-led support that doesn’t end when the session’s over. No more hustle-talk. No more figuring it all out on your own. Just practical advice, honest conversations, and a proper support system built for small business owners like you.
Whether you’re here for coaching, community, or both - know this is a space where you’ll feel seen, backed, and supported.
So now you’ve found us - and I’m so glad you’re here.
