welcome to my world
I’m nicky
Professional feminist, community builder, writer, podcaster and mother.
I create spaces that help women step fully into their work - with clarity, confidence, and visibility.
Through The Wilder Collective, Wilder:LIVE, and my award-winning podcast, I support founders, creatives, and leaders to own their value, unlearn the patriarchy’s tricks, and communicate with purpose, building the kind of purpose-driven businesses that feel good and value happiness and fulfilment as worthy ambitions.
My work sits at the intersection of feminism, creativity, and business - helping women turn intention into momentum and ambition into action.

So, what’s the mission?
I believe women can rewrite what leadership, success, and ambition look like - but too often, we’re still operating inside old systems built to keep us small.
My work is about changing that story, and each strand of it brings together conversations and tools that help women:
feel supported in finding their voice and vision
unlearn the decades of conditioning that lead them to debilitating stress and burn-out
run businesses on their own terms that are both profitable and purposeful.
The mission is simple: to define success on your own terms, not based on what the system told you.
Because I’ve seen first hand that when women let go of their internalised misogyny and step into their power - unapologetically and together - everyone rises.

$7tn
Closing the gender pay gap could give the economy a 7 trillion dollar boost globally.
250k
In 2023 it’s estimated that 250,000 women left the workplace due to challenges juggling work and childcare.
85%
Globally, women control 85% of purchases and by 2025, 60% of UK wealth was in the hands of women.
These stats prove that women have spending power and earning power if they exist within economies that truly support them. My work exists to support and educate women in owning and realising that potential.

MY STORY.
I worked in events for 15 years before quitting my ‘big job’ in 2020 to focus on the family I’d founded - I happened to start a unisex kids’ clothing brand at the same time.
When that journey came to an end I channelled what I’d learned into my podcast, which evolved into my community, events, and feminist work.
I come at everything I do from the point of view of an everyday woman sharing real life - a wife, a founder, a mother and everything that comes with that beautiful, messy picture.
You’re just as likely to find me bare-faced and lamenting my messy kitchen as you are to find me ranting about the lack of structural support for women in our economy. I will continue to share the real real picture without apology as a serial founder who has pivoted a few times while finding her way.
