The SpeakEasy Journaling Club
Unpick the Good Girl narrative. Reclaim your intuition. Write your own next chapter.
​​The SpeakEasy is a bi-monthly journaling space for thoughtful women ready to step off the track of people-pleasing, perfectionism, and over-functioning.
​Using classic fairytales and archetypal shadow work as our mirror, we gather to put pen to paper, ask the uncomfortable questions, and give your genuine truth a safe place to land.
You Don't Need More Advice. You Need Space to Listen to Yourself.
​We are conditioned from childhood to be accommodating, agreeable, and quiet. We learn to ignore our gut feelings, suppress our anger, and wear the Good Girl mask until we end up exhausted, disconnected, and burnt out.
​
Listening to podcasts or reading self-help books is a great start—but real integration happens when you stop consuming and start writing.
The SpeakEasy exists to help you:​
​
-
Unpick inherited scripts: Identify the rules, cultural expectations, and family roles you’ve been carrying that were never yours to begin with.
-
Explore shadow archetypes: Use the rich, untamed symbolism of classic fairytales—like Vasilisa, Rapunzel, and the Inner Rebel—to explore your hidden boundaries, desires, and agency.
-
Practice honest expression: Give your frustration, grief, ambition, and instinct a place to speak without judgment or the need to fix anything.

What Women are Saying
"I've been a member of SpeakEasy since the beginning. Gillian invites us to look at the world with depth, humanity, and curiosity, using storytelling and journalling as tools.
The reason I felt compelled to share: I had a terrifying presentation ahead of me that morning, and our session that day was pure perfection. It gave me space to celebrate what makes me authentically me, rather than who I thought I should be. I rocked that stage — in no small part because of the space, tools, and insight Gillian gave me.
She looks at the world differently, uses tools we don't see often, and inspires a peace and confidence that translates into real life, business, and relationships." — Jessica Cooke, Financial educator and founder of DEFINANCE

"Gillian opened the doors to SpeakEasy for a free session. I'd known her a while but wasn't sure storytelling and discovery was really 'my thing' — I saw myself as more of a practical being. But something from a session she did in March stuck with me like a little seed, so I thought, what the hell, and went along.
Holy crapamoly. What I got was thoughtful self-contemplation, raw honesty, great company, and a weird sense of release from within.
Gillian isn't a storyteller. She's a story enabler — a gifted being who connects you to parts of yourself you didn't even realise needed connection, with an air of grace and quiet wisdom that had me utterly captivated.
I'm all in. Everyone needs this in their lives, even if they don't realise it yet — like I didn't. Come join. It's like coaching for the soul!" — Helen Maxwell, Mindset Coach
