Hi. I'm Nelly.
I write under the name Nelly Bryce. It was my grandmother’s name. She hated it. So I decided to love it for her. My friends and family call me Nelly but I answer to Helen. Or Hels. And whilst chasing four young kids around (and no doubt swearing under my breath) I’m also known as Mum.
Poetry is my thing. And journaling. I’m a journaling addict – ten years spent writing daily for creativity, mental wellbeing and self-discovery. I know this sh*t works.
My background is actually in HR – ten years spent in leadership development for large corporates. After that I ran my own business for six years, so I know the work of connecting with customers and building community.
During the pandemic I started writing creative content for one client and the work just kept on coming. Most of my projects came from word of mouth which is the biggest compliment. I also published my first book of poetry during this time. I am currently writing a second poetry book.
I’m happiest when life slows down. Spending time outdoors, eating great vegetarian food, chasing sunrises and cold water, laughing out loud, buying more books than I will ever have time to read in a lifetime.
Oh, and possibly most importantly, I’m on a life-long mission to find the best millionaires shortbread. If you know of where I can find some do let me know.
