There is nothing you need to become before you arrive here.

This space exists for women who are no longer interested in chasing clarity, proving readiness, or holding themselves together through effort.

You may have spent years leading — families, work, relationships, communities — often without realising how much of yourself you quietly set aside to do so.

Not dramatically.

Just enough to stay included.

Lead With Love is not here to fix that.

Your presence here is not passive.
It asks that you stop disappearing to stay safe.

In this room, we do not rush clarity.
We do not push transformation.
We do not use urgency as proof of commitment.

We stay long enough for something real to arrive.

If you are here, it is because something in you already knows how to recognise safety — and is ready to stop using protection as a way of living.

Take your time.
Feel what it is like to stand without moving.

If this space meets you, welcome.

What Lead with Love Is

Lead With Love is a relational mentorship held in radiance — the ground that makes it safe to be fully present and lead without self-abandonment.

It unfolds over twelve weeks, not as a programme to complete, but as a space to practise staying present — with yourself, with others, and with what is real.

We meet regularly, in real time, and nothing here is rushed.

This space is not designed to take you somewhere else.
It is designed to support you in standing more fully where you already are.

Together, we attend to what happens when you stop leaving yourself in order to lead, care, or hold things together — not through fixing or self-improvement, but through presence, honesty, and relational integrity.

It is a lived practice of remaining — grounded in your body, your truth, and your capacity to lead from love rather than effort.

From vision, to emotional coherence, to inner authority, to a radiance that naturally influences others.

From this grounded presence, every inner state becomes safer to inhabit — moments of depth and not-knowing, periods of contraction or fatigue, early flickers of possibility, creative clarity, and full expression.

Nothing needs to be bypassed or pushed through.

Leadership emerges not by escaping these states, but by remaining coherent within them.

This Space Tends to Be Met By Women Who…

have already done a great deal of living, leading, caring, and carrying.

Women who are capable, thoughtful, and often deeply attuned to others — sometimes to the point of leaving themselves behind without quite noticing when it happened.

They may not feel broken or in crisis.
But they do sense that something quieter is asking for attention.

Often, these are women who:

  • hold responsibility with ease, but feel the cost of doing so alone

  • are trusted by others, yet rarely feel met in the same way

  • have outgrown advice, motivation, and strategies

  • are no longer interested in fixing themselves to move forward

This space is not for women who wish to keep protecting themselves through withdrawal, erasure, performance or force. Nor is it for those who are not yet willing to meet their own presence without armour.

If you are here, you do not need to decide whether you belong.
Recognition happens quietly, or not at all.

Either is welcome.

How the Mentorship Is Held

Lead with Love is held as a steady, relational online space over twelve weeks.

We meet regularly in small group sessions, allowing enough continuity for trust, presence, and real relationship to form. Sessions are live, held in real time, and designed to support depth rather than volume.

Alongside the group space, there are opportunities for individual connection. These moments are not separate from the work — they are part of how the field is held, ensuring that what arises can be met with care and clarity.

Each session responds to what is alive in the room, while remaining anchored in the core practice of staying present and aligned with yourself.

Many women arrive having learned to protect themselves by either disappearing, softening their truth, staying quiet, adapting, or by over-asserting, over-explaining, and holding themselves in constant effort.

Lead with Love is a place where neither is required.

Here you are supported to stand; firm, present, and relational, without withdrawing and without force. 

Between sessions, nothing is required of you.
There are no assignments to complete, no pressure to process, and no expectation to perform insight.

You are supported to notice what changes when you stop abandoning yourself in subtle ways — in leadership, in relationships, and in how you meet your own inner life.

This space is held with steadiness and respect for individual pacing.

You are never asked to share more than feels true.

Silence is welcome. So is speech.

What matters is not how much you do, but how fully you remain.

Reflections from Women in This Space

The following reflections are shared to offer a sense of the pace, the quality of the space and the experience of being met without pressure.

Mel

'You made me feel safe that I wasn’t going to feel squashed, shut down, or exposed in my vulnerability.'

Nadia

'I have loved growing alongside you and I will keep showing up for myself. Thank you.'

Alison

'This gave me the space to recognise where I was, so I could choose consciously how to move forward.'

Who Holds This Space

Lead with Love is held by Julia Black.

Her work is rooted in relational integrity, nervous-system awareness, and a lived understanding of what it means to remain present without self-abandonment.

She does not lead by direction or prescription.
She holds space for clarity to emerge through presence, honesty, and consent.

Julia’s role is not to tell you who to become.

It is to notice when you leave yourself and to remain steady enough that you can return.

This space is held with care, attunement, and respect for individual pacing.

'With Julia's compassion I feel empowered and equipped to take action for myself and my family.' Ceri

The Invitation

Lead with Love is offered to a small number of women at a time.

This is intentional.
The space is held carefully, and depth matters more than scale.

You are welcome to take your time here.
There is no expectation to decide quickly, and nothing is taken from you if you choose not to step forward.

If this space continues to meet you, and you sense a readiness to stop leaving yourself in subtle ways, you are welcome to step forward.  

If not, that is equally respected.

Choosing to Step In

This space works best when it is entered freely.

You do not need to feel certain.
You do not need to be “ready”.
You do not need to have a clear intention or outcome in mind.

If something in you recognises this space and wishes to meet it more closely, you are welcome to step in.

If not, that choice is honoured. 

What is real will meet you where you stand.
