Over the years we’ve seen hundreds of raw, honest, often heartbreaking posts from members of our community navigating the toughest of times. We’re always blown away by the level of support members who have gone through similar situations and give advice so openly. 🙌

We know that approaching lawyers and getting good legal advice can be daunting, so we’re thrilled to be partnering with , a values led, people first law firm, who are highly skilled, and approachable.

We’ll be doing lots with the team at Blackadders over the coming months to support and signpost - first up, we’re delighted to share an article written by Partner Shona Smith, where she discusses the barriers to seeking legal counsel, and the importance of offering compassionate support - legally and emotionally.

Head to our website to read the full article as well as details of the exclusive egg offer. We look forward to working with the Blackadders team and were grateful for their support at our Summit where we managed to get a great team shot! 😊

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

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!

So, we are thrilled to announce a new partnership - one that will help us to continue this work supporting and protecting more women - with a team who shares our values. Please say hello to Blackadders Solicitors 👋

We're delighted to introduce you to three key members of the Edinburgh team - Emma Gray, Joint Managing Partner, Karen Phillips, a Partner in Private Client and Shona Smith, a Partner in Family Law. ⭐️

Blackadders is a firm that leads with authenticity and compassion, building relationships that last. Having worked closely with them over the last few months, we are excited about the value and support they can provide to our members.

As sponsors of the Women on Top Summit, the Blackadders legal team will be out in full force at the event. Say hello if you see them! 😊

We are delighted and excited to share news of a new egg partnership, one that will help thousands of women in the community to find the support they need, particularly around some of the topics we see posted in the egg group.

Please welcome The Edinburgh Practice led by good, and longstanding egg, Dr Fiona Wilson! ⭐️

The Edinburgh Practice is a multi-disciplinary mental health practice who provide a wide range of therapeutic services - from ADHD diagnosis, psychological therapy, managing kids' screen time, navigating menopause, memory clinics and much more - a dedicated team of 55 clinicians work from their beautiful new treatment centre in Edinburgh city centre.

We'll be working with Fiona and her team over the next few months, supporting the egg community with tailored advice, support & signposting. The Edinburgh Practice team will also be on hand at the Women on Top Summit, delighted they are supporting as sponsors.

Fiona's advice to women entrepreneurs? Keep your vision strong, lean into your strengths, and never be afraid to ask for help when you need it.👏
