You built the business.
You don't have to carry all of it.
Calm, trusted support for passionate founders who need more time, more headspace and someone they can genuinely rely on behind the scenes.

Sound familiar?
You love your business. You just don't have capacity to do everything in it.
Your head is constantly full.
There is always something else to remember, organise or follow up.
The exciting ideas keep getting pushed aside.
You're so busy running what already exists that there's little space to create what's next.
You're doing everything yourself.
And even when you're technically not working, the business is still occupying your brain.
You know you need support…
But the idea of hiring someone else you have to constantly brief and manage sounds like an extra job in itself.
Sometimes you don't need another pair of hands. You need someone in your corner to help you work through it all.

Notebook, laptop, coffee — something that feels like a real working day.
That's where I come in.
By Emily May is about taking some of the weight of running a business off your shoulders. I get to know you, your business and what's taking up your time and headspace, then work alongside you to make things happen.
Sometimes that's taking ownership of something that's been sitting on your list for months. Sometimes it's organising a project or event. Sometimes it's bringing order to the chaos. And sometimes it's simply having someone you trust who can say:
“Leave it with me. I've got it.”
How I can help
Three ways I tend to make life lighter.
Take it off your plate
The tasks, coordination, follow-ups and loose ends occupying your time and headspace.
Bring your ideas to life
Projects, launches, events, collaborations and ideas that need someone to actually make them happen.
Be in your corner
Ongoing trusted support from someone who understands your business, sees the bigger picture and doesn't need to be micromanaged.
There's no set package to squeeze yourself into. How we work together is shaped around you, your business and whatever is feeling heaviest right now.
I typically work with founders who…
- Love what they've built but are tired of carrying everything themselves.
- Have a million things living in their head.
- Have exciting ideas they never quite have time to bring to life.
- Want support but don't want another person they constantly have to manage.
- Spend too much time running the business and not enough doing what only they can do.
- Know doing everything alone isn't sustainable anymore.
- Want someone who genuinely cares about their business.
You don't need to arrive with a perfectly organised list of things to hand over. Sometimes you just know you need someone in your corner. We can figure out the rest together.

Because when you are free to focus on what matters most, beautiful things happen.
