Nicky Denson-Elliott: Motherhood & Entrepreneurship, Women & Money Shame and Unlearning Limiting Beliefs

In this episode of Women & Wellbeing, Natalie is joined by Nicky Denson Elliott, founder of The Wilder Collective and host of The Women’s Business Podcast, for an honest and eye-opening conversation about women, money and confidence. 

Together, they unpack the deep-rooted beliefs many women carry — from anti-female programming and internalised misogyny to the shame that still surrounds money, ambition and success. Nicky speaks candidly about the systemic lack of investment in female founders, and how these structures quietly reinforce self-doubt, undercharging and playing small to remain palatable. 

The conversation also explores the reality of building a business while raising children — the invisible labour, the constant negotiation of time and energy, and why women are still expected to make it all look effortless. 

At its heart, this episode is about awareness and agency. About recognising the stories we’ve inherited, questioning who they really serve, and learning how to build confidence — not just in business, but in our relationship with money and ourselves. 

Discussion includes: 

– Anti-female programming and limiting beliefs 

– Women, money shame and self-worth 

– The investment gap for female founders 

– Motherhood, business and invisible labour 

– Internalised misogyny and how it shows up 

– Building confidence and clarity around money 

This is a powerful conversation about reclaiming space, value and voice — and giving yourself permission to want more, including financial freedom. 

Listen now for an empowering, uplifting conversation that can help you advocate for yourself and push back against the ethos of good girl economics.
