Welcome to BBS — the no-fluff, beginner-friendly space for people starting a business who want a clear path instead of chaotic guessing or information overload. For the next 26 weeks, we’re running BBS alongside the podcast + the now FREE Basic AF course, so you’re always held by the hand through the start-up process. This isn’t “consume content and hope for the best.” This is listen → learn → do → post → repeat. If you are Brand New here you head to the #BasicAF Start here lesson and just work your way through from there at your own pace. ✅ The Weekly Rhythm SATURDAY — Podcast 🎙️ + Basic AF Lesson Drop 🧠 - I’ll share the link to the new podcast episode. Listen when you can. - I’ll also upload the week’s Basic AF lesson to the classroom with the matching resources. Your job: Listen + watch the lesson + grab the resource.

Hello and welcome to the community! I’m Leigh aka The Basics Bitch 💋 I’ll add some info about myself in the comments, but you can also hear all about me through my podcast >>> Ramblings of a spicy mind or my blog (of the same name) If you need a higher level of support or resources here's #How to work with me This community is for newbie business start ups and first year founders. If you are more established than that read on: I also run another free community on Skool A women-only recovery + self-development community for burnt-out founders 🐾🖤 The Reset Circle The 4 pillars of Reset Circle 1) Burnout recovery & capacity rebuilding - energy budgeting, rest guilt, nervous system regulation - “minimum viable life” seasons - routines that don’t become another job 2) Emotional load & self-abandonment patterns - people-pleasing, over-responsibility, perfectionism - decision fatigue, mental clutter, resentment - boundaries without guilt 3) Deprogramming the £10k cult - detoxing comparison, urgency, “always be scaling” - untangling worth from income - redefining success as safety + enough + choice 4) Identity & self-trust - confidence after “failure” - values-led living - rebuilding inner authority (stop outsourcing your choices to internet gurus)
