​​​Bitch & Boast is a monthly meet-up for women running small businesses to… you guessed it… have a bitch and a boast.

​Because let’s be honest — running a small business is HARD!

​

You’re probably juggling the house, the food shop, caring for family (young or elderly), being the accountant, the marketing assistant… sorry, the marketing expert, the admin department, HR, the boss — and then throw hormones or menopause into the mix and suddenly it can feel like a full-blown small-business shit-storm.

​

We need more than ever to lift each other up.
We need visibility.
We need encouragement.
And quite frankly, we’re tired of making the rich richer (yes… cough… Meta).

 

So we do something different.

Because the only thing more powerful than one woman…
Is a room full of women!

​

There are no polite promises to “follow later” or vague intentions to stay in touch.
We support each other right there in the room, in real time.

• Phones come out.

• Posts get shared.

• Stories get reposted.

• Comments and likes start flowing.

You can literally watch your visibility grow as it happens.

 

Together, we are smashing the algorithm without paying for followers or bots.
Just genuine support and collective action.

 

HOW IT WORKS

• Each woman has around 3–4 minutes to introduce herself, share about her business (or idea) and show the post she would love the room to like, share or repost.

• We then move on to the next woman — all equal, all encouraged, all celebrated.

• This keeps the energy high and ensures everyone has the same opportunity to be seen and supported.

If you feel a connection or want to explore a collaboration, you can follow up afterwards once everyone has had their moment. This helps keep the flow positive, focused and fair.

​

BEFORE ATTENDING

We recommend preparing or creating a post you would like the group to focus on. This might be something you are promoting that month, a new offer, an event, or simply an “about me” post so others understand what you do.

 

WHY WOMEN LOVE BITCH & BOAST

Women leave feeling:

• More confident talking about their work

• Energised and inspired

• Genuinely supported

• More visible online

• Less alone in small business

• Part of a tribe of women who get it

 

We have already seen the impact this collective encouragement creates.
Accounts have grown. Engagement has increased. Opportunities and collaborations have started to happen — simply because we chose to support each other.​

​

CONTRIBUTION

There is a small contribution of £5 per gathering (unless otherwise stated) payable upon booking your space

PLUS - If we're at Nancy's Tea Rooms (which we usually are), in exchange for charging us room hire, we have promised to buy a drink and something yummy from their mouth watering menu (go on then!)

 

So, for roughly a tenner you gain access to:

• A relaxed, supportive environment

• Real visibility through collective action

• Authentic networking without pressure

• Confidence building and meaningful connection

• A powerful pay-it-forward community

The more encouragement and interaction you give, the more naturally comes back to you.

So the real question is… how far do you want to go?
In this space, there is no limit to what we can create together.

 

Spaces can be booked in advance via the website to secure your place, or paid in person on the day by cash or bank transfer.

 

LOCATION

Locations may vary but will be around the Tonbridge/Tunbridge Wells/Sevenoaks Area

Full details will always be shared on Instagram ahead of each gathering.

Please check the @BitchAndBoast Instagram page for the latest location information before travelling.

 

A COMMUNITY THAT IS GROWING TOGETHER

Whether you run an established business, are just starting out or simply have an idea you want to explore, you will be welcomed into a warm, honest and encouraging space.

This is a community built on the belief that when women uplift each other — everyone rises.
