Selling my 2 @theweeknd tickets for London 16 August if anyone is interested! Unfortunately no longer able to make it :(, all on the official website: https://t.co/rJM7ttXnNf #theweeknd#London#Afterhourstildawn
This is simply part of how trademark law works - established brands protect their IP. It’s been stressful, but it’s also part of building something.
New name coming soon.
I’ve been a little quiet recently for a reason.
Back in August I trademarked my brand name. During the publication period, a well-known brand opposed it.
After taking advice, I chose not to fight the opposition and have withdrawn the application.
So - I’m rebranding.
Merry Christmas 🎄
Ending the year with gratitude and starting the next one with a continued focus on supporting children’s emotional wellbeing and parent��child connection.
Wishing you a calm, kind New Year. 💛
I just did my first ever podcast interview - which still feels surreal to say.
We talked about anxiety, my journey, the speaking challenge I did, and building Calm Connection. 💜
I was nervous, but I’m really proud of how it turned out.
If you want to listen, it’s here:
Went to the NatWest Pitching 101 event on Tuesday - great learning, conversations, and a boost of motivation.
As someone with anxiety, showing up to these events isn’t always easy… but every time I do, it strengthens my confidence and clarity.
Small steps forward add up. 💛
Now backed by accelerator support and early partnerships,
Calm Connection is building ethical tools, growing its parent community, and proving that calm can be learned together.

Built by 24-year-old @BanfieldHolly,
Calm Connection supports families through tools and communities that make emotional well-being part of daily life.
What started as an idea earlier this year is becoming a growing movement for calmer families.

Had the loveliest time at the @lovable x Let’s Fund Her Hackathon 💕
Nothing beats the support of other female founders — I even got encouraged to pitch (despite tech issues & anxiety 😅).
So proud I showed up anyway.

Weekly update:
Design isn’t all coffee and creativity - it’s mostly me vs. Figma 😅
Tried moving things to Lovable (didn’t quite work out), but I’m loving how it’s coming together.
Build starts next week - can’t wait to show you what’s coming 👀✨
Big news! 🚀 Calm Connection has been accepted into the #CatalyseHer UK Accelerator with @inco_group !
I’ll be focusing on business fundamentals to take things to the next level 💡
So grateful for everything I’m learning with HelpBnk x Superteam 🙏
The journey continues… 🌍✨
Yesterday I attended the London Vibe Coding Masterclass at Somerset House - what a session! Turning ideas → working prototypes using AI & no-code tools in just 3 hours. 💡
Big shout-out to @SuperteamUK, @No_CodeLab & @solana for making this happen. Feeling inspired 🙌
✨ What we built in 6 weeks (so far) ✨
As the @SuperteamUK x @helpbnk accelerator wraps up (although it is technically extending 😉), I’ve been reflecting on just how much has happened in such a short space of time.
I’ll still be in touch with the brilliant mentors, speakers, and founders who’ve been so generous with their time and support and I’m excited to keep learning and growing alongside this community. 🙏
