COME AND GATHER WITH US FOR A NEW WAY TO BE IN RELATIONSHIP with YOUR WORK
May your work be a source of nourishment and joy.

May you find a new way to move systems of capitalism and patriarchy.
May your soul come alive in your work.
May you find the magic.
May your work be your medicine.
“Thank you for guiding us through a transformative six weeks; it’s been an honour to journey alongside everyone. I feel like I’ve learned so much about the power of letting go and of being seen for who I actually am. ”
Do you feel deeply drawn to doing tender, beautiful, impactful heart-work in the world?
So many of us do. And we need to take action: our world needs soulful practitioners, facilitators, business owners, activists and community care magicians more than ever.
But it can feel HARD to actually work in this way.
We start on this path because we want to spend our days in devotion to our calling. And then, reality steps in.
We have bills to pay. Responsibilities to meet. Money to make.
And, because of the way dominant culture has conditioned us to be, we often meet those demands with a “brace” energy (paralysis) or a push energy (hustle mentality).
Both are utterly exhausting.
January is a particular culprit for this…
New starts. New goals. Striving, moving forward, another year of perpetual motion.
WHAT IF WE COULD JUST STOP?
What if we could birth a new relationship to our work that was regenerative, rooted in reciprocity and nourishment?
What if our work could be our medicine?
I BELIEVE IT CAN
It is for me, and it is my deep intention to support you to create that for yourself.
““Medicine brought a softening, a reclaiming of my power, fire, wisdom and innate gifts.””
ENTER MEDICINE >>
MY NEW OFFERING, REIMAGINING OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR WORK…
Over six weeks, we will go deep into your relationship with your most precious, soul-led work and TRULY listen to it.
At the begining of 2025, I want you to enter a space that draws a line in the sand, and says:
Enough is enough: there is a new way.
A new way to work…
A new approach to making an income..
A new way to stand for truth, authenticity and magnetism in what we offer the world…
What is Medicine?
Over six sacred gatherings, you will be guided through powerful practices and teachings to shift your relationship to the work you do.
We will reimagine our approach to work and creativity.
We will put our to-do list to one side, and sit on Monday mornings in Ceremony instead, holding each other in a devoted energy
of listening.
We will seek to cultivate deep reciprocity with our work, so that we lovingly tend to it, and it in turn nourishes us.
This is going to be magical- but also DEEPLY practical.
We will dream into what we want to create, but also take the practical steps to create it.
We will sit in ceremony and then move towards using our hands and hearts to bring what we have seen to life.
WHAT WILL WE DO IN THE SPACE?
Our work together will be centred in ceremony
Each Monday morning, we will carve out a space to be in deep relationship with our work. To listen. To pause. To lead with heart, soul and spirit. To quieten the mind. To open up to the field of possibility and infinite creative potential.
My intention for you each week is that you come into the space to receive and listen and that throughout the week you take a key soulful action that will move your work or business forward.
You will be guided every step of the way. Your job is to show up, receive, and commit to small but impactful action.
“In a world where we think of work as something we do, outside of ourselves and in detriment to our wellbeing, Medicine is the opposite of that. It’s a journey into our work as the medicine we bring forth and the one that many times we needed for ourselves. It’s an energy that moves through us as something being brought forth with reverence and devotion. If deep down you feel your Medicine, your work, whispering to you to journey together to nourish more friendship and regenerative co-creation, this journey is definitely for you.””
Pillar 1 - connect
We root our journey by connecting to the soul of your work, its unique energy and medicine.
We a daily devotion practice to it, shifting our energetic connection to it.
We create a new philosophy and manifesto for how to approach your work.
PILLAR 2 - REBIRTH
As we midwife the new, we release what has gone before.
We will gather in a potent ceremony to release all the versions of your approaches to creation and ‘work’ that you have held onto up to this point that no longer serve your vision.
We will stand at the threshold of creation with a blank slate, a new energy and crystal-clear vision.
PILLAR 3 - REST
We centre rest as a creative practice. Sleep as strategy. Pleasure as a business priority.
We reimagine our relationship to our working week, ensuring we are resourced to fulfil our creative potential.
We re our work, our vision and our action by claiming the importance of being a rested, resourced woman.
PILLAR 4 - RECEIVE
You will be in a community of peers where you can receive feedback on your ideas, share your struggles and celebrations and receive the wisdom of the community.
You will have the opportunity to receive guidance and mentorship from me, based on my seven years of running a successful, soulful business and experience as a senior documentary producer and director before that. Creativity is my lifeblood; I am here to support you in yours.
PILLAR 5 - ENCHANT
How might we create, work and act differently if beauty were our guiding principle?
How can we replenish our inner landscape and work through a reverence to awe, wonder and beauty?
We will immerse ourselves in the medicine of beauty and witness its impact on our energy, our clarity and our work.
PILLAR 6 - ACTIVATE
At the end of our time together, we draw it all together!
Through creating a manifesto and loving action plan, you will offer the new version of your work we have birthed to the world.
We will close our space with an activation and celebration ceremony.
“Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing.”
HOW WILL I KNOW IT’S FOR ME?
This could be the space for you if you feel resonance with some or all of these things:
You are tired of having to hustle in your work and want to find a more easeful relationship to it.
You are someone who has a deep sense of calling to do soulful, conscious, loving work in the world that makes an impact, without harming others.
You are a big-hearted, socially minded creature, who wants to create work that is not only your medicine, but serves your community in an impactful way too.
You crave SPACE. Space to be in creative, contemplative relationship to your work.
You yearn to feel enlivened and inspired by your work again, regaining your creative spark.
You want a robustly structured start to your working year with magic, joy and a touch of mischief taking your hand and leading the way.
You have a degree of autonomy when it comes to your working life and can find ways to creatively express yourself. If you have a traditional ‘job’, you have the time and the commitment to explore your soul work outside that structure.
You are willing to try a different way: this programme will invite you to reimagine what “work” means and will require your curiosity, openness and participation.
This is not for you if:
You don’t enjoy group programmes: we will be doing this work in community.
You are looking for someone else to give you the blueprint or the answers: this programme is a portal and pathway to connecting to your own sacred medicine, and only you can do that.
You genuinely don’t enjoy the idea of finding a softer, gentler approach to work and would prefer to keep pushing on.
This programme is not designed to strive for ‘results’, although it is my strong suspicion it will yield them: it has for me, consistently.
The spirit of this programme is counter-cultural- we move forward by trying to do less. We stop the efforting and surrender to silence, stillness and doing less as a regenerative strategy. The process is the outcome.
““I wanted to let you know how inspiring, supportive, and nurturing Medicine has been. Sister Stories showed up in my life just when I needed it. It was a place to nurture myself as I moved through grief, came back to life and began to dream again.””
MY STORY & CREDENTIALS
Prior to running Sister Stories, I held senior roles in broadcasting and was an award-winning documentary maker. When I started Sister Stories, it was something that felt like a divine download or a crystal clear flash of inspiration from the muse. To this day, I don't know what happened, but one day the idea for the format of the circles and the name 'Sister Stories' landed fully formed in my brain.
Holding these circles became my creative response to a desire for more connection, more soulful ways of relating and more truth in my life. I had no 'plans' for it. I simply got into the practice of tuning into what felt most true and alive to me, found the words and images that best represented that, shared them with the world and found it each event sold out.
Over the next 4 years, I followed this approach- slowly, gently, tuning into the spirit of Sister Stories and listening for what felt like the next right step. Eventually, in 2021 it felt like the moment to take it full time and it became a 6 figure business within 5 months, sustaining me and my family financially.
People have asked me many times over the years to share the approach behind creating a thriving soulful business. I even certified as a CPD Accredited Business Strategist to do it. But what I have found, over and over again, is that we can have all the strategies in the world, but what matters most is our own devoted, soulful relationship to the work. Being rested and resourced. Being in integrity. Finding a way to step outside the traditional structures of what it means to run a business or be paid for our soul work and to resist the capitalistic grind.
I am here to support others who want to bring ease, flow, deep relationship and soul medicine to their work. I cannot wait to support those who feel the call.
In offering this work, I must credit two teachers who have given me the language ‘soul of my work’: Nisha Moodley and Hiro Boga. Through their teachings and way of relating to their own work, I was given both permission to follow this soulful way of relating to my work and a framework in which to do it.
“Not only has Gemma weaved together a programme with stellar holding and perfect invitations for your unique expansion, always respecting your rythm, but doing this with other women has been quite beautiful.”

uPGRADE OPTION- 1:1 DAY IN PERSON
If you yearn for high touch, in person support, this could be for you. We will spend a day together in Brighton or London, diving deep into your work, your business (where relevant) and experiencing a combination of deep soul work with practical strategies to move you forward. Previous clients who have had this experience have described it as:
‘Truly life changing- I have never had this clarity in my work before’
‘Gemma is a natural strategist, but she has so much soul. I loved this day so much.’
‘I thought I came here to understand more about my next steps with my work, but I’ve come out with a sense of being more ME. I feel so confident in what is next for me.’
Ahead of the day, we will be in touch to discover what your intentions for our time together are and the experience will be designed just for you. Some people want ceremony and circle type-holding more, some people want a pure soulful strategy day and some people want both. We will create the day that best meets YOUR needs.
If you cannot make in person, I can hold a deep space for you online.
“Business coaching with Gemma was an incredible experience that continues to have a lasting impact on me. Her coaching, wisdom and advice has stayed with me and still guides me in my daily decisions.
Throughout our time together, I felt so held and seen in my vision, my goals, and the work I do. Gemma’s support was multifaceted: from business coaching and mentoring to refining copy, guiding me through moments of doubt, and offering deeply intuitive coaching.
What stood out most to me was how Gemma approached business, especially marketing, with such an intuitive, soulful, and at the same time strategic mindset. She provided powerful frameworks and shared deep knowledge about business and marketing, while always keeping the heart at the center of the process.
I’m deeply grateful for the sensitivity, wisdom, and expertise Gemma brought to our work together. Her ability to support me as a whole person – not just a business owner – made all the difference.
For anyone seeking tailored solutions, compassionate support, and a soulful approach to business – rather than one-size-fits-all strategies – I wholeheartedly recommend Gemma Brady.
Thank you for all the gifts you are bringing into this world, dear Gemma!”
FAQS
-
No- the entirety of this course will be recorded, and available to you on Teachable indefinitely. But, the most potent experience will be accessed by showing up live.
-
This course is designed for those who want to work soulfully outside the 9-5.
You may already be doing this but find it hard to keep going, or find focus; and if you have a business or soulful work path already, this will allow you to achieve new depth with your work.
It may be that you do not yet have an existing business, and instead are looking for a way to activate an idea or practice and deepen your relationship with it, so that, in time it becomes a reality. You are in the right place! It is worth noting that six weeks is not enough time to get your soul’s work completely up and flying- that takes time, devotion, consistent action and effort. This course will however support you with foundational working practices so you can keep momentum as you move forward.
-
This course is not aligned with any spiritual path or dogma. People of all faiths or no faith are welcome. It will appeal to those of you who have an open mind and heart to take guidance from something outside yourself- that might be spirit, it might be a muse- we are open to all possibilities here. We want you to be getting out of your head and into the work of the heart. -
This is not one of those space and to do so would be antithetical to the spirit of the programme.
We are not centred around strategy, we are centered around the process of creating from a place that feels softer, more generative and sustainable in the long term. I have personally seen results from this approach consistently over 7 years; in fact, I don’t think Sister Stories would exist without it.
This is an invitation to develop a philosophy and new way of work that can sustain you for life.
