You’re here because you’re ready

Ready to make the impact your heart knows you're meant for

Becky Benfield Humberstone, Quietly Disruptive Business Coach helping founders escape cage businesses and make the impact they're meant for

You didn't build a business to conform. You built it for freedom, impact, and the chance to do things your way.

But somewhere along the line, you stopped being yourself, and the business became a perfect reflection of that.

A cage that looks impressive from the outside and feels suffocating from the inside.

I understand where you are.

Standing at the edge, looking at the gap between who you used to be and who you've become. The business is just showing you what happened.

This is where we close that gap. Together.

This is 1:1 coaching for Quietly Disruptive founders, an approach that blends coaching with mentoring, support with advice, guidance with co-building.

Not a cookie-cutter program or a workbook you figure out alone.

Me, with you, showing you the path and walking every step of it alongside you.

You'll never be guessing what to do next.

This is what you've been looking for. There is genuinely nothing else like it.

"Even in a single conversation, Becky helped me gain perspective on what was driving my overwhelm and offered simple, actionable steps to bring things back into balance."

- Rebecca Fatharly, Social Media Strategist

This is the journey we travel together:

Featuring…

3 months (long enough to actually transform, short enough that you won't lose momentum)

3 stages that build on each other (because random tactics don't work, sorry)

2 transformations (you first, then the business, always)

1 clear path forward (you'll never be wondering "what now?")

0 templates or worksheets (just real guidance for your actual situation)

Infinite possibilities once you're on the other side (this changes everything)

This is the road we travel together:

We start with you, not your business

Most coaches dive straight into strategy, offers, and messaging.

I don't.

Because here's what I know from living this myself: the cage business exists because you lost yourself somewhere along the way. The clients you resent, the boundaries you hide, the voice you've turned down, those aren't business problems. They're founder problems, and that's actually the good news, because it means you hold the solution.

You can't build the business you want from the version of yourself that built the cage. So we start with the thing that fuels everything else: getting you back.

We uncover what you really want, not what looks impressive or what you think you should want, but what your heart has been quietly telling you for years. We identify the patterns keeping you stuck. We find the voice you've been turning the volume down on.

We give you permission to want what you actually want.

This is where you strip away the shoulds and coulds and remember who you were before you learned to play small. This is the foundation. Everything else follows from here.

Becky Benfield Humberstone, Quietly Disruptive Business Coach helping founders escape cage businesses and make the impact they're meant for

Then we prune away what no longer serves you

We know what you want now. Now we start our journey to get it.

This is the messy middle, or as I've rebranded it, the marvellous middle. It's where everything gets interesting and exciting!

Think of this as a full business renovation. We examine every corner, remove what's weighing you down- the services you don't enjoy, the offers you don't want to sell, the clients you'd rather not work with—and weave in everything that actually matters: your values, your vision, your completely unique way of doing things.

This stage feels chaotic, but there is order in the chaos. Roadblocks appear. Mindset wobbles. Doubts creep in. Most people quit here. You won't.

Because I'm right there with you, every step of the way, showing you exactly what to do, how to do it, and when. Not vague guidance, not the (un)helpful advice of "do what feels right for you."

This is specific, practical, and direct: what email to write, how to write it, when to send it. Every action you need to make that messy middle, marvellous.

This is where your old business cracks open to reveal a new one, as you are changing, evolving and becoming the person you are. It's more liberating than it is terrifying. I promise.

Becky Benfield Humberstone, Quietly Disruptive Business Coach helping founders escape cage businesses and make the impact they're meant for

And then we craft a business that reflects who you are and what you REALLY want to do

You've found your voice. You know what impact you're here to make. Your old business doesn't fit anymore, not because the business changed, but because you did.

You’re a different person.

This is where transformation meets strategy, because freedom without a plan is a map without any destinations. We build the pricing, positioning, and boundaries that make your new business sustainable and profitable. We design your offering and build a marketing approach that fuels you rather than drains you, because you’re no longer willing to settle for anything less.

The business doesn’t just change. It reflects who you are, and who you have become. Organic, intentional, and unmistakably yours.

We create a way of working that funds your life AND fuels your vision, within whatever constraints you're working with.

By the end of our three-month journey together, you're not just free, you’re back to who you are. And the business? It followed.

You’re on the road to building something you're genuinely proud of: unconventional, intentional, and completely yours.

The journey to the business, the impact, and the person you want to be starts with a single step. Now it's your time to take it.

She has helped me define what I 'really' want from my business, and how to make it best serve me."

From trapped to free.
From quiet to Quietly Disruptive.

Where you are now:

You have an impact to make. You can feel it.

But right now, you can't get anywhere near it because every ounce of your time, energy, and creativity is being swallowed by a business that takes everything and gives back very little.

You're saying yes to clients who drain you because you think you should be grateful. You're hiding your boundaries like they're something to be ashamed of. You've completely lost who you were when you started.

Everyone congratulates you on your success while you're thinking: "If this is success, why does it feel like dying?"

You were bold once. Unconventional. Quietly disruptive.

Now you're just quiet. And that impact? It’s still waiting for you.

Where we’re going:

You work with clients you genuinely like. You can finish at 4pm
and post about it without fear. You say no without guilt and set
boundaries without apology.

You're successful AND sustainable.
Profitable AND present. Bold AND boundaried.

And that impact you've been carrying around for years? You're finally making it, with the time, space, and creative energy to do it properly, in a business that was built around your vision rather than consuming it.

You're back to that person you were before, building unconventionally, moving with intention, and unapologetically yourself.

That's the transformation.

And it starts the moment you decide you’ve had enough and want to find yourself again.

I see patterns other coaches miss.

Within our first conversation, I'll know exactly where you're stuck and why, not surface-level tactics, but the deeper pattern keeping you trapped.

Why this works when other things haven't.

Becky Benfield Humberstone, Quietly Disruptive Business Coach helping founders escape cage businesses and make the impact they're meant for

Most coaches focus on business tactics: change your pricing, fix your messaging, get more clients. That's not the problem. The problem is more personal.

It’s about you as a person.

That’s why we work together to figure out what’s holding you back first, and then the business follows.

What makes my approach genuinely different is I don't just ask you questions and wait for you to figure it out alone. I tell you what to do, how to do it, and when. When you need to wave goodbye to a draining client, I'll tell you exactly how to have that conversation. When you need to raise your prices, I'll give you the number and the words to explain it. When you're stuck in the messy (marvellous) middle and everything's breaking, I don't disappear until the next session. I guide you through it step by step.

You get the deep transformation work AND the practical "here's exactly what you do Monday morning" direction. Both. Always.

It’s coaching and mentoring, with a unique Becky twist.

This isn't borrowed theory. It’s learnt experience. I was trapped at 38, going through family court, working with clients I hated, hiding my boundaries like they were something to be ashamed of (read the full story here). I didn’t have a business problem. I had a Becky problem, and my business was following my lead.

I've walked every step of this path. I know every fear, every wobble, every moment you'll want to quit.

That's why I know I can guide you through it.

Is it right for me?

This approach is for you if you're 2-3+ years into business, tired of saying yes when you mean no, and you’ve had enough hiding your boundaries like they're something to be ashamed of.

But let’s be honest with each other, this only works if you're ready to do the work.

Not the kind of work that means longer hours or more hustle but the harder kind.

The kind where you look at the patterns keeping you stuck and decide to change them.

Where you make the decision to let go of the client that pays you the most, but is sucking out your soul. Or when you say the thing out loud you've been keeping quiet for years.

This coaching asks something of you. It asks you to show up, be honest, and commit to the journey even when the marvellous middle gets wobbly.

If you're ready for that? This will change everything.

This isn't for you if you want quick fixes, you're chasing seven-figure scale, you're not willing to wave goodbye to draining clients, or you'd rather have a workbook than a thinking partner who tells you exactly what to do next.

You’re never alone on this journey

This isn’t a 10-step program. It’s on-tap support.

Bi-Weekly or weekly coaching calls

Choose bi-weekly (two sessions per month) or weekly (four sessions per month) 60 minutes of deep-dive coaching where we work through exactly what's happening right now. The fear, the breakthrough, the decision you've been avoiding. Real work, real progress, in every single session.

Coaching & Mentoring

Sometimes you’ll need straight talking advice. Sometimes you’ll need to find the answers within you that only you know. That’s why I blend coaching and mentoring, so you the right support and guidance when you need it.

Unlimited support between sessions

Direct access between sessions via email, voice note, or text. You don't wait two weeks to get unstuck. When something comes up, when you're about to send that email, when you're lying awake at 3am wondering if you made the right call, I'm there. Response within 24 hours on weekdays. (I do sleep occasionally.)

A true partnership

It's not about dumping workbooks on your desk and telling you to figure it out alone. We move together, tackle challenges together, and celebrate wins together. Shoulder to shoulder, side by side, I’m your sidekick on the adventure.

A clear path forwards

You'll always know which phase we're in, what we're working on, and what comes next. No confusion, no wondering "are we actually getting anywhere?"—just a clear road from where you are to where you want to be.

The Investment

BI-WEEKLY INTENSIVE
£1,200/month • Two calls monthly • WhatsApp & email access Total investment: £3,600

WEEKLY INTENSIVE £1,500/month • Four calls monthly • WhatsApp & email access Total investment: £4,500

Both include everything you actually need: a deep-dive first session where I figure out exactly what's keeping you stuck, a completely personalised path out (yours, nobody else's), real-time support through the marvellous middle when things get wobbly, and my complete, undivided attention.

I work with a maximum of 2/3 clients at a time. That's it. No exceptions. I believe you deserve someone who actually knows what's happening in your business, not someone who has to check their notes to remember your name.

Payment plans are also available (because investing in getting yourself back shouldn't itself become a cage).

  • I was trapped for 8 years. Not weeks, not months. Years. I was in family court for two of those, representing myself against barristers while keeping my business alive, navigating domestic abuse and coercive control, working with clients I resented, hiding my boundaries, losing myself completely. I know what rock bottom looks like from the inside. I found my way out. Whatever you've been carrying, however long you've been carrying it, it’s possible to change it. All you need to do is decide that you want to.

  • Most coaches give you tactics: fix your pricing, update your messaging, get more clients. Useful, maybe, but it's not the real problem. The real problem is that you built yourself a business that feels like a cage, keeping you small and stuck. I find that pattern—the real one keeping you trapped—and that's what we work on. When we fix that, everything else: the strategy, the pricing, the clients, follows naturally. It's a completely different approach, and once you experience it, you'll understand why nothing else has worked until now.

  • No. And honestly, you don't want me to. You want the transformation, not a course on how I create it. This is exactly why I don't have a course or group program. This work only works 1:1 as each client I work with has a different approach. Think of it like surgery: you don't need to understand what the surgeon does, you just need to wake up on the other side and feel better. My methodology is how I guide and support you to the place you want to go.

  • Then we stop. It’s as simple as that.

    Coaching is a partnership, not a prison sentence. If at any point you feel this isn't the right fit, we have an honest conversation and part ways professionally.

    That said, I'm committed to making this work. If something isn't clicking, we address it directly and adjust our approach. Your success is my priority.

  • As soon as you're ready. I work with a maximum of 2/3 clients at a time, so if there's space we can begin within 1-2 weeks of our call.

    If I'm at capacity, you'll be first on the waitlist. And it's always worth the wait.

Ready to start your journey?

You've been thinking about this for a while now. Probably longer than you'd like to admit.

You've read every word of this page and now you're here, which tells me something. The part of you that remembers who you used to be is whispering… and it's getting louder.

You're ready.

The first step is an Onwards and Upwards call. Sixty minutes of coaching, just the two of us. You tell me where you are and where you want to go. We'll explore what you really want (not what you "should" want), what's keeping you stuck, and exactly how to move forward.

No sales pitch, no pressure, no "let me think about it" awkwardness. Just a real conversation that shows you exactly what coaching with me feels like, and what what becomes possible when you find your way back to who you actually are.

It is quite possibly the most important conversation you'll have this year.

Or not quite sure? This quiz knows. It's free and slightly uncomfortable (in a good way) and it will let you know what the next step is.
