CAN YOU AFFORD NOT TO LEARN AI?
I was quoted $15,000 for a rebrand and a website. I built it myself for $34, in 20 hours, using Claude.
You don't need to figure it out alone. You need 2 hours a fortnight, on your actual business, in a small room of women learning the same thing.
the same faces, every fortnight
What it costs to stay stuck
47% OF WOMEN SAY AI TOOLS INTIMIDATE THEM.
That's nearly half of us. Sitting on the sidelines while our businesses miss out on the biggest shift in how work gets done since the internet.
It's not because we're not smart enough. It's because every time we sit down to try, we get hit with jargon, ten browser tabs, and a YouTube tutorial that lost us in the first thirty seconds.
So we close the laptop. We go back to the way we've always done it. And we tell ourselves we're not good with technology.
We are. We just haven't been taught it in a way that respects our time, our brain, or our business.
Last year I wanted to do a complete rebrand and website, so I went and got a few quotes. It looked like it was going to cost me around $15,000.
At the same time, I was starting to use Claude. After falling in love with it, I decided to try doing the rebrand myself.
$34 and 20 hours later, I have a rebrand that I adore, and Claude and I built my own website.
All of that is amazing. But the best part? I am not reliant on a developer if I need a change done. I don't need to go back to a graphic designer when I need a specific graphic for my business. I have the skills to do it myself, and there are no wait times.
A bit about me
NEVER A BETTER TIME, ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE NEURODIVERGENT.
I've been a business owner for a decade. And honestly? There's never been a better time to run a business, especially if you are neurodivergent.
I have both ADHD and dyslexia. AI has completely changed my business.
I would never say I'm a tech guru, or that I've always been interested in tech. But after blowing up my business model last year, and my income with it, I didn't have a choice. I had to use and learn the resources I could actually afford.
That's how my love of AI began.
So I 100% understand the overwhelm that comes with learning new tech, or pushing yourself out of your comfort zone. That's why we've broken Village Circles down into a way of learning that takes the overwhelm out of it.
So, what actually happens in a Village Circle?
TWO HOURS. EVERY FORTNIGHT.
We meet fortnightly. Same time, same place, same small group of women. Here is what two hours looks like.
Check-ins, what is going on, what is stuck. The kind of talking that happens when women who actually get it sit at the same table.
A short lesson on something you can actually use. How to talk to AI. How to use it for your own business. Small bites, in person, every fortnight.
You work on your own stuff. I am in the room. So is everyone else. Headphones on and silence, or ask questions as you go. You set the rules for your hour.
That is what Village Circles is. Two hours, every fortnight, in a room with women who get it. And yes. Coffee and a big hug at the door.
Here's exactly what you get
A NEW SKILL, EVERY FORTNIGHT.
Two in-person sessions a month, two hours each.
Thirty minutes of Claude training in every session, on something you can actually use.
An hour of body doubling, with help on hand if you need it.
Homework between sessions so you keep using Claude in your own time, and bring your questions back to the room.
At the end of every session you walk out knowing more about Claude than when you walked in. A new skill, every fortnight.
A small group of max 10 women, same faces every fortnight.
Your seat is yours for the whole term. Once the doors close, the doors close.
Don't just take my word for it
WOMEN WHO GET IT.
When you work for yourself, you wear all the hats and carry everything in your head. It can be a pretty lonely gig when the only ones you're bouncing ideas off are the dog or your family. The fortnightly catch-ups have been so good for that.
I really love that half of our sessions are proper working sessions. Actually sitting down and doing the task you've been avoiding. Having that coworking space keeps you on track, you don't drift off or get distracted as easily.
The regularity is a big thing for me too. I need the accountability, and Sandra genuinely keeps track, checks in, and is truly interested in you and your business.
Jess · Rustic WrenI didn't realise just how much I was missing that sense of community until I walked back into a circle of women who just get it. Running a business as a mum can feel isolating, and this space reminds you that you're not doing it alone.
It's more than networking, it's real connection, clarity, and momentum.
Hayley · Pebble & VineWhy this actually works
BODY DOUBLING IS NOT A VIBE. IT'S RESEARCH.
More likely to hit your goals
When you have a specific accountability appointment with someone you respect, you are 95% more likely to actually do the thing. Not motivation. Not willpower. Just the appointment.
Your nervous system copies who you're next to
Sit beside a calm, focused woman and your brain quietly drops into focus too. It is called co-regulation. It is the whole reason you can finally start the thing you have been avoiding.
Body doubling is built for brains like yours
Most underrated productivity tool on the planet. Especially for ADHD brains. Just having other people in the room makes the impossible thing possible.

Is this for you?
WHO IT'S FOR, WHO IT'S NOT.
Village Circles works best when everyone in the room is in the same season. Here is what that looks like.
- You have a business, or you are properly building one.
- You are done trying to figure it out alone in your own head.
- You want women in the room who will hold your hand AND kick your ass when you need it.
- You are done with "one day" and "it's not the right time".
- You want your goals remembered by other women, so you cannot quietly let them die.
- You are willing to take ownership of your own results.
- You are still working out what your business actually is.
- You are in a season where committing to one thing for a full term feels too heavy.
- You want someone above you to fix it, rather than peers beside you to back you.
That is not a judgement, just a truth. There is no shame in coming back when the timing is right.
Straight answers to real questions
THE STUFF YOU'RE ACTUALLY WONDERING.
The day and time of every Circle clashes with my schedule. What now?
It happens. We have three Circles running on three different days and we still cannot cover every schedule. If none of them work for you right now, send me a message and tell me what day and time would actually work. If enough women in the same suburb want the same window, that is how new Circles get started.
I am not techy. Will the Claude training be over my head?
No. We start where you are. Most women in the room are starting from scratch. I am not an expert either. We are learning together, slowly, in small bites, with time to actually ask questions.
I am not in Adelaide. Can I still join?
Not yet. Village Circles are in-person only, and right now we are Adelaide-first. Interstate is coming, but I am not putting a date on it because I want to do Adelaide properly before I expand. Drop your name on the interstate waitlist and you will be the first to know when we open in your city.
I'm an introvert. Is this going to be too much?
No elevator pitches. No business card swapping. No pressure to perform. Max 10 women in the room. You can be the quiet one and still get everything you came for.
Why is there a term commitment?
Because connection needs consistency. It is hard to feel safe and honest with strangers who drop in and out. Committing to a term lets the group actually bond, which is the whole point.
What if I miss a session?
Your seat is yours for the term. We do not run make-up sessions or refund missed dates. If you cannot make it we miss you, and we will be ready for you next time.
