What They Said
"If you’re a founder who’s been deep in the day to day of your business, this is your sign to take a step back for a week. To reset, reframe, and properly revitalise. Before going, I was at a real breaking point with my business. I felt overwhelmed, exhausted, and was genuinely close to walking away from it all. Taking a step back for a week felt hard, but it ended up being exactly what I needed. The biggest thing for me was the people. Being surrounded by like-minded founders, having real conversations, sharing challenges, and supporting each other whilst also celebrating the wins. It’s something you don’t realise you’re missing until you’re in it. It also gave me the space to work on myself, which ultimately is what improves your business. The clarity, perspective, and self-awareness I’ve taken away will have a direct impact on how I show up moving forward. I’ve come back feeling more motivated and ready to give everything to my business than ever before. Ive walked away with a completely different mindset and energy. Grateful for the experience, the connections, and everything I’ve learned. I would highly recommend it to any founder who feels like they need to pause, reset, and come back stronger."
Who am I?
Heyyyy, Im Kirsten and Im literally just a Sydney girl obsessed with her two dogs- so much so I created my own business surrounding them!
My Business
I created Sutherland Shire Raw 6 years ago at the peak of COVID after developing a strong interest in canine and feline nutrition during my years studying and working as a vet nurse. We provide biologically appropriate raw food for pets and support pet parents in taking a holistic approach to their animals’ health for optimal wellbeing.
