For more than ten years, I worked in business operations, finance, payroll, VAT, and compliance — the unglamorous machinery that keeps a company standing long after the launch excitement wears off. I sat across from founders at their best moments and their worst ones. I watched brilliant ideas stall, not for lack of talent, but for lack of structure.
I started The Aligned Woman on a different foundation entirely — energy, alignment, the softer side of building something of your own. It resonated with people, but it wasn't quite honest. It wasn't the thing I actually knew how to do. So I pulled it apart and rebuilt it around what I'd spent a decade doing for other people: giving businesses the operational backbone to actually run.
The idea was never the hard part. Running it — properly, sustainably, around a real life — always was.
I built this brand around a kitchen table, between school runs, in the gaps of a life that was already full. Every product exists because I needed it myself, or because I watched someone else need it and go without.
