Gentle Creation
~ a collection of writings on gentle marketing and feminine business ~
If you have found your way here, you are likely a woman with a creative, feminine soul who longs to organically discover, cultivate and share your business/creations online in a way that feels natural and true to your deeper values, sensitivities and heart.
You may have also discovered that many of the internalised ways that we have been taught to override feminine values, attributes and gifts in our world, are even more deeply illuminated in the entrepreneurial landscape. This can look like feeling pressure to create in unnaturally-paced ways, believing that you need to use forced tactics and hacks to create faster results, feeling tethered to relentless online engagement, and doubting the value of your more feminine-oriented gifts, knowledge, artistry and expression.
These writings honour the path of the sensitive, creative-hearted woman who is seeking to create and share her heart-work through a softer, more receptive approach to business and creation. It is a path that does not push and force you to create, share and sell by overriding your resistance, fear and doubt, but instead helps you to work with the wisdom of your body, heart and soul, encouraging you to move at a pace and in a way that is right for you. It is an antidote to an online culture of proving, striving and performing, and relies instead on naturalness, resonance and a deep trust in your unique gifts, expression and unfolding.

what women say
“Belinda, I just want to say thank you so much. As I am beginning to build my business, your words feel like a breath of fresh air in the sea of marketing advice that is out there.”
“I love you! You are brilliant. I launched my site 1.5 years ago & have relied on gentle sharing & even deleted all my socials because socials felt inauthentic. I’ve never heard anyone describe what you’re sharing but it’s sooo much how I feel. Thank you! 🩷 You are changing the world.”
“This is paradigm shifting for me - thank you!”
“Belinda, thank you. Out of all the advice I have been given over the last year since starting my business this is the only advice that truly resonates. I love reading your words as a beautiful reminder to stay true to myself.”
“I am very grateful to have found Soul & Self! I just knew there was another way to maintain my feminine energy while running my business and this has confirmed this for me. Thank you.”
“I greatly appreciate your perspective. I’ve made a decision recently to trust my gut and stay off of traditional social media. Instead I’m taking my work to platforms where deep thought is encouraged. Chasing the social media culture always left me confused, lost, feeling insignificant or even empty. Thank you for reflecting this process for others to give themselves permission to break free of it.”
“Thank you for putting into words what my heart has been feeling for so long while my head could not express it clearly. The world needs more profound texts like this one.”
“Belinda, thank you so much. I’m in the process of putting my website and everything together to launch my bookkeeping business and your words spoke directly into my thoughts, both my conscious ones and those I now have words for after reading this. I can’t express what an exhale my soul has released after finding your content. God knows our soul’s needs, that’s for sure. Because of you, I am now approaching my website and my business in a way that now feels lighter and honest. In the feminine energy that I have been on a journey to become acquainted with. Please keep sharing. I look forward to reading more.”
“This is what I want for my business. The idea of constantly posting on socials has been so overwhelming for me, but this feels like home.Thank you.”
“Thank you for sharing about this concept of a ‘quiet community’! I resonate so much with being part of this ‘quiet community’ for other businesses, and feel like this is the type of community that I want to lean into in my own business instead of focusing on just the outward engagement that can feel surface-level and overwhelming on social media. I love that you are always articulating ideas that are so contrary to mainstream business strategies and yet so deeply inviting to my soul, and the way I would want to run my own business.”
“For someone who is still trying to navigate and find a niche in a saturated fashion industry, I feel seen and heard..Thank you so much for the words you put out, thank you for calming my fears. This is all the motivation I need.”’
“Heart-felt thanks for your words on business! It’s such a relief to hear there is another way than the one being constantly sold to us. Thank you for your courage and for sharing your discoveries.”
“So much yes! You have put into words the unease that I feel around sharing my sacred life on social media. I make a point of not having my phone around during leisure time, and having to take a picture of what I’m enjoying really spoils the moment and takes away a sense of presence. What wonderful words you offer.”
“This is the best piece of honest writing I’ve come across in so long. It puts into words the things I’ve been feeling but didn’t know how to describe. What a gift, thank you.”
“I just found your writings and I have to say- it makes me feel like you have read my journal entries or have access to my most inner thoughts somehow. Your website speaks to me on a soul level and arrived in my life at the perfect time. Thank you for showing up in this space!”
“Wow. I feel like these words were written just for me. I finally feel someone is understanding so much of what I have been going through since starting my creative business. Thank you, Belinda.”
“Thank you so much Belinda, I can’t thank you enough for lighting the way ahead. Your work is giving me the courage and resources to find my own voice as a newly qualified therapist in the process of creating my offering.”
