You LEFT CONVENTIONAL employment,
THEN WHAT?
What drove you out? Was it an inflexible workplace? Maternity penalties? A system that was never designed to work for women? Or a burning idea you couldn’t let go?
Self-employment is great, but nobody tells you how bloody lonely it is once you do it. Or how hard it is to switch off the conditioning that made you shrink, undercharge, and over-deliver.
You don't need another accountability group, a WhatsApp full of noise, or another women in business group with cliques and drama built in.
You need people who get it, and who are building in a real, messy, relatable way that makes you know you’re in exactly the right place.
That's what The Wilder Collective is.
"I don't know if I would have had the courage to keep going and quit my job, without this group. It's been quite fundamental.”
Elaine, Wilder One
BUILT BY SOMEONE WHO’S LIVED IT.
Nicky Denson-Elliott is a feminist writer, podcaster, and the founder of The Wilder Collective. Her award-winning podcast Women's Business has interviewed hundreds of women about what it really takes to build something outside the traditional blueprint.
She built TWC because she needed a space like it and couldn't find it anywhere else.
TWC is built on one central idea: that when women don’t just say they support each other, but actually do it - brilliant things can happen. Working relationships, friendships, collaboration and opportunity are born out of a truly supportive and safe online space to hold all of it.
Also it’s meant to be FUN! This is not another deadly serious space for deadly serious chat, it’s a place to share the real journey whatever yours looks like - with the hard and the funny and everything in between all welcomed.
The Wilder Collective is a network of exceptional women right there in your back pocket whenever you need them.

What our Wilder Ones say…
FAQs
-
TWC is a membership community for feminist founders hosted on Circle (think like a Facebook page but not there). It’s for women building businesses outside the traditional blueprint. It's part community, part professional network, part ongoing education. The women in it are intelligent, warm, and genuinely supportive.
-
The Collective: £23/month, or lock in the year for £200. For the monthly membership there is no minimum term and you can cancel whenever.
-
We've all been there - paid for something, checked in twice, cancelled. TWC is different because the relationships here go beyond the platform. Members hire each other, refer each other, meet in person, and build genuine friendships. Ask/Share/Learn alone has helped members win back unpaid invoices, find their coaches, land their first clients and more. That said - you get out what you put in. Nicky will make sure you know how. Our engagement rate is extremely high and we’re proud of it.
-
Yes. Cancel any time, no questions asked.
-
You can share offers, discounts, and freebies in the Shop The Collective thread. These posts are limited, as hard selling isn't what the space is for - but building relationships that lead to commercial opportunities absolutely is.
-
Doors open in January, March, June, and September. Apply now and be notified as soon as doors are open.
