For little rituals, honest chats and making time to look after yourself.
This interest could bring together conversations about slowing down, looking after yourself and the little things that make a difference.
An example conversation starter
What’s one little thing you’re making more time for this week?

A drink in hand, a little fresh air and some new people to get to know.
A shared interest in good drinks, favourite places and the conversations that happen on a walk could be a lovely place to begin.
An example conversation starter
What’s your favourite spot for a drink and a little fresh air?

For building something, sharing ideas and figuring out the next step together.
Possible conversation themes include creative ideas, work in progress and the small steps behind a bigger plan.
An example conversation starter
What are you working on, and what’s the next little step?

For good books, fresh perspectives and the conversations they start.
Books could be the starting point for swapping recommendations, sharing a thought and seeing something from a fresh perspective.
An example conversation starter
Which book has stayed with you lately, and why?

Bring your laptop, your ideas and whatever you’re working on. Make a little progress together.

For trying something new, sharing a table and finding plenty to talk about.
Food can be a starting point: a favourite recipe, a new place to try, or a conversation about what brings people together.

Swipe to get to know me.
Growing changes you.
Your circle doesn’t always keep up.
I’m building Escape Ordinary around the things that matter to me: how we think, how we look after ourselves and the lives we want to create.
The Society is the part that brings us together. A place to meet women through what we actually have in common — whether that’s a business idea, a new routine or a book we can’t put down.
I’m figuring it out and building it in real time. You’re very welcome to come along.
A little more about meA few things you might want to know as you find your feet.
Women who want to meet people through shared interests, everyday life and what they’re working towards. You don’t need a business, a perfect routine or a clear plan to find something in common.
That’s a very good reason to explore. Start with an interest you already enjoy and a conversation that feels familiar. There’s no need to arrive with a polished introduction.
Of course — you can browse every interest preview on this page. You might be building a business, getting back into reading and looking for walking company. The final membership details will explain how access to the communities works.
The Society brings together the idea of online communities and real-life connection. Escape Ordinary IRL is coming soon. You can explore the plans and tell us what sounds like your kind of thing.
Membership details are still to be confirmed for this preview. Pricing, community access and what’s included will be set out before you commit to joining.
The Society is about people and connection through shared interests. The Method is the Confidence, Balance and Success framework, with ideas to explore and put into practice. You can get to know the Method or use Start Here to find a personal starting point.
A little more connection.
A few more people in your corner.
Find company for the things you love, the goals you’re working towards and the chapter you’re in.
