I’ve just realised that in March it’ll be 10 years since I set up the egg Facebook group. ❤️

Returning to Edinburgh after many years away, I was feeling disconnected, no pals nor clue about where to find a good hairdresser (priorities!) so set the group up to find like-minded women who could pass on savvy recommendations.

Following the death of my Dad, and spurred on by the egg community, three years later I left my job to become egg head….what that meant I wasn’t sure, no plan, but with both parents now gone, it hit me we only get one shot at this.

Our first event was a grief event, I cried bucketloads, I’ve cried at just about every event since then, wishing my folks were still around. Hundreds of events since then: menopause, maternal mental health, breast cancer awareness, egg dates, runny egg 10k, the egg talks to podcast and of course Women on Top.

Standing last week at our Summit, watching 300 women laugh, hug and connect, my eyes were brimming with tears for most of the day, the bagpipes do it every time…

So many favourite moments but one stood out, two girls came to say thank you, we’re off to the pub to keep the celebrations going. I asked them how long they’d been friends “we just met today” and they skipped off arm in arm.

Thank you to everyone who made the day what it was; my team for four months of incredibly hard graft, our incredible speakers, our guests, Scottish Gas Murrayfield, our sponsors, Antoinette at Beira Moda for my amazing dress

I’m not sure what the next 10 years will bring but what I do know is that we will have more fun, connect more women, improve lives and continue to make an impact.

Tonight I’m in Glasgow at the Women's Enterprise Scotland Awards, we’ve been shortlisted for Purpose Led Business of the Year - wish us luck! 🍀

We are egg. No longer an abbreviation, simply the word (lower case☺️) 🥚

Our mission is to connect women, empowering them to grow personally and professionally. George & Claire, I miss you every day, hope I’ve made you just a teeny bit proud.

Thank you to all our speakers, sponsors and Anna Moffat Photography for the pics 📸 and team egg including my wee sis Penny

Kylie - egg head ❤️

Supporting our members on all things legal has been a part of the egg mission over the years; from protecting assets through to divorce and separation. We've done lots of talks on the importance of wills too!

Old Course Hotel Golf Resort & Spa in St Andrews! ☀️

The newly opened West Deck is an outdoor haven and the pods are the perfect place to take in the view whilst sheltering from the elements. We sipped on delicious drinks and took in the view which was incredible! ✨🍸

Still full from afternoon tea we didn't indulge in more food, but the menu looked amazing with tons of delicious options as well as sharing charcuterie boards.😋

Gather your girlfriends and go enjoy, there's a complimentary drink for egg members too - I hear the watermelon margs are on another level🍉👏
