A Festive Message, From Me to You.
Hey, it’s Madeline, mince pie addict and the nerd behind elodie cybersecurity.
Today, I was supposed to publish a blog post about a technical hack to improve your cybersecurity, but after a festive brunch and a hot apple cider, I decided it was time to sign off for the holidays earlier than planned, with something a little different.
Maybe it’s the spirit of Christmas, or trying to live up to my own advice as someone who bangs on about digital wellness, but as much as there is to do with elodie, much has been achieved this year - and a little break to go on country walks with friends, finish Lottie Murphy’s 24 Days of Pilates and get elbow deep in Mum’s homemade sausage rolls is needed.
Not made by my mother, but you get the gist…
Firstly, I want to say a huge thank you to those who have said Hi, guest blogged and been one of the 100 or so who have followed elodie on it’s (very “close knit circle” we’ll say) Instagram. I’m really trying to put more effort into this as connecting with people has been a huge highlight of working on elodie so far.
Secondly, I want to point you to last weeks blog post that suggests ways to prepare your business for a secure and thriving 2025. There’s plenty more posts in the New Year looking at what I think should be your security priorities- but now’s not the time. It’s difficult making cybersecurity interesting at the best of times - I can’t compete with mulled wine and Christmas TV!
Lastly, I want to share just a few really exciting ‘big’ things I’ve planned for next year…
1) I’m launching a new website in Jan!
I cannot wait to publish a brand spanking new website in the new year. It’s going to be far easier to navigate, contain much more information about elodie and how we can help and is way better looking too!
2) Tailored (and free) programs are launching for Content Creators, Small Businesses and Non-Profits
Whether you own or run a charity, small business or platform as a content creator we have created a 5 day program, tailored to you. Delivered in email format over the space of one week, it irons out a ton of security concerns in super simple, easy steps that can be achieved on your commute or before your mug of tea gets cold. Sign up to the newsletter to know when they are released!
3) We’re releasing The Ultimate Digital Health Kick: A 30 Day Program
I’m buzzing about a 30 page ebook I have created that will help you sustainably transform your physical and mental digital wellbeing whilst improving your productivity and organisation. It doesn’t involve any big commitments or drastic changes, we simply go through a few of things to be aware of and implement small tweaks that can have dramatic effects long term.
4) I’ve got big plans for the blog
I’m proud of the blog so far but in 2025 I’m focusing on the quality of articles, rather than quantity. I’m going to be interviewing experts, welcoming guest blogs and maybe even featuring on others if they’ll have me. I really want to improve the writing, make it even more accessible for readers and improve a few past key blogs that I link to again and again.
5) Sharing a little more about me
I realise elodie cybersecurity has been a little coy since launching, which is exactly not the vibe I’m going for. Therefore whether it’s a reel on instagram, more personalised emails or the detailed About page that’s soon to launch with a photo of me in my fave jeans, I hope to show a little more of me, so I can connect with a few more of you.
I’ll stop rambling now and get back to binging Jamie Oliver Cooks Christmas. Thanks for reading, have a very happy holiday, and see you next year!
