You didn’t leave employment,
you were pushed forward.
Inflexible workplaces. Maternity penalties. A system that was never designed to work for women. Most of us didn't choose self-employment as a last resort - we chose it because it was the only place left where we could actually be ourselves.
But nobody tells you how bloody lonely it is. 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 a room full of women who still think tearing each other down is the only way to get up.
You need people who get it. Who've named it. Who are building anyway - and want you to as well.
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 didn't build TWC because she spotted a gap in the market. She built it because she needed it and couldn't find it anywhere else.
TWC is built on one central idea: the reason so many women aren't further along isn't a lack of talent or effort. It's a system that was never designed for them. Understanding that changes everything.

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.
-
If you want community, connection, and a network of brilliant women — The Collective at £18/month is your starting point. If you also want a structured year of working on your confidence through a feminist lens - with coaching and deeper access - add The Confidence Project for £23/month. It’s a small price uplift for a big value-add.
-
TCP is a 12-month programme that runs inside the community for members on the higher tier. Each month explores a different dimension of confidence - from money and pricing, through visibility and creative expression, to leadership and authority. It's not surface-level tips. It's feminist analysis applied directly to your business and your life. Sessions are live but recorded for you to watch back.

We've all been there - paid for something, checked in twice, quietly 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 get off the ledge on a Tuesday afternoon. 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. Though in practice, most people don't.
-
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. The difference is obvious when you're in it.
