The Kindling Academy: Spring Term 2026
A term-time, curriculum-led programme for brilliant, overstretched women to build a clear, viable business from their talents, passions and experience, in a way that brings joy and earns good money.
Built with the rigour of a teacher, the insight of a coach and the realism of a mum juggling 3 kids and multiple creative roles, The Kindling Academy helps you develop a sustainable business offer and build the momentum to sell it with excitement and ease.
Spring Term 2026 (12th January - 27th March)
The Truth
You are not short of ideas. You are short of space. Space to think clearly. Space to build properly. Space to move something forward without being interrupted every eleven minutes.
Right now, you are living in a constant contradiction. You are overstimulated by life and under-stimulated by the work that is meant to fulfil you.
You used to feel brilliant. You used to feel exceptional. People used to comment on your spark, your thinking, your potential.
That part of you has not disappeared. It has simply been buried under the emotional load, the logistics, the meetings, the school events, the invisible labour, and the hundreds of small decisions you make for everyone else every day.
Your own work keeps slipping to the bottom of the list. Not because you lack discipline or clarity, but because you are carrying too much to hold yourself at the same time.
And still, the fire remains. The part of you that knows you could build something meaningful if you had even two uninterrupted weeks.
But life does not give you two weeks. It gives you twenty stolen minutes between dinner and someone calling your name.
The online coaching world does not help. It is too loud, too fast, too shallow. You are not looking for hype. You are looking for clarity, structure, and a way to get real work done that honours your actual life.
You do not need a sprint. You need a return.
A return to your ambition. A return to your creativity. A return to building work that feels like you and earns accordingly.
This is where The Kindling Academy begins.
The Arc
Phase One: Origin
You clarify what your work really is, who it is for, and why it matters now. This is where the circling stops and your business gains a clear centre.
Phase Three: Practice
You develop the language to talk about your work clearly and confidently. You begin sharing your ideas in small, low-pressure ways and notice what resonates. Many women naturally feel ready to begin gentle testing or soft launching sometime after February half term. There is no deadline and no pressure. You move at your own pace.
Phase Two: Structure
You shape your first core business offer. You decide what you are delivering, how it works, how it fits your life, and how it earns money. This is where your business starts to feel intentional rather than βwinging it.β
Phase Four: Expression
You refine your offer with structured feedback and create a simple plan for sharing and selling your work through the spring. Some women already have interest forming by this point. Others are preparing for their first confident step outward. Both are exactly right.
