Astrid Bracke

Hi, I'm Astrid — a reading, knitting, tea-drinking, plant-collecting small business mentor with a PhD in English Lit.

This is a channel for small business owners, freelancers and creatives who don't recognise themselves in the world of hustle and hacks—whether that's because of a day job, care responsibilities, chronic illness, neurodivergence, or simply choosing a slower pace. Here you'll find gentle reframes of what mainstream marketing and business advice tends to get wrong, and honest answers to the question so many of us ask: is it even possible for me to run a business—and how?

It is. Slowly, gently and profitably. In a way that actually fits your life.

Come grab a cup of tea and stay a while. You can find more at astridbracke.com or in the Female Owned newsletter.
