#100coffees - Discovering the magic in the stories of the people behind the mugs

January always feels like a reset, but this year feels a little different.

2025 was a head-down year for me. I spent a lot of time working IN my business — delivering, problem-solving, showing up — but not as much time as I wanted working ON my business.

Don't get me wrong, it helped me achieve some incredible things such as being named T.W.I.A Wedding Planner Of The Year 2026 in our region; BUT if I’m honest, I didn’t prioritise socialising or relationship-building in the way I know really matters.

So for 2026, I’m doing things differently.

I’m kicking off a new personal (and slightly terrifying) project:

#100Coffees ☕️

The goal is simple:

To intentionally meet with business owners, creatives, wedding industry folks, and local professionals — not to pitch, but to connect.

I’m a big believer in six degrees of separation. Opportunities don’t usually come from cold outreach or perfectly curated strategies — they come from people, conversations, and relationships built over time.

This year is about:

Strengthening genuine relationships

Expanding my network beyond my bubble

Getting back into rooms (and cafés) with other humans.

Using 2026 as a springboard, not a survival year.

I’ll also be growing and encouraging people into my Buckingham-based networking group, because local connection still matters — probably now more than ever.

If you fancy a coffee, a walk, or a no-pressure chat about business, weddings, life, or ideas — I’d love to hear from you.

Here’s to less hiding behind laptops and more showing up.

Let’s see where 100 coffees takes me.
