Workshops.

WORKSHOP FOR BUDDING BUSINESS OWNERS WITH BIPOLAR. 

Can you relate to this?

• You’ve thought about running your own business but don’t know if it’s possible.
• But you believe you have so much more to offer the world.
• You’re not keen on the hustle or the suits or the early morning starts.
• You want to hear the real challenges and possibilities from someone with lived experience and be inspired that, if Katie can do it, so can you.

 

YOUR TICKET INCLUDES:

Four practical sessions on the key areas of business and how they can support your mental health. Plus: lunch, a gift from Salt & Oil, and a beautiful, practical and comprehensive workbook to take home.

A TASTER OF WHAT WE WILL COVER: 

• Reframing work and success – what matters to you. What do you care about? What is holding you back?
• Your mental health comes first  – setting up your environment and structures to support your wellbeing.
• Finding your business village and who to turn to for ongoing support and guidance.
• Your personalised roadmap and business plan, including your next best steps.
• PLUS! Plenty of time for mingling, inspiring each other and asking questions.

ABOUT YOUR HOST

 

Katie Rickson is a copywriter, editor, poet, and lived experience speaker. Katie has had bipolar episodes for most of her adult life, but wasn’t diagnosed until she was eight weeks postpartum, and experiencing insomnia and mania. One thing that got her through this time was the mantra: “something beautiful will come from this.”

Katie now writes about her experiences of hospitalisation, diagnosis and identity, recovery, work, motherhood and more through her website Compassion Poetry. She’s been a guest lecturer at Victoria University of Wellington every year since 2018, a guest on podcasts, and a speaker at MUV Talks, and the 2017 Service Users in Academia conference.

She’s on a mission to raise awareness and reduce stigma. And wants to help and inspire YOU!
