What if the way we work isn’t driven by habits, but by principles? In this FoundHers Notes piece, I explore the ideas that shape how I make decisions, from health and freedom to systems, organisation and agency. They’re the same principles that have shaped the evolution of STYLISA FoundHers and my belief that entrepreneurship, leadership, wealth and influence are all ultimately about creating greater choice and opportunity.

A stronger North needs more than investment. It needs more people with the opportunity to build businesses, create jobs and shape the future of our region. Inspired by today’s conversation about devolution and a No. 10 presence in Manchester, this FoundHers Notes explores a question I believe deserves far more attention: How do we ensure more women are creating, scaling and leading businesses in the North?

What does financial confidence actually look like in practice? In this edition of FoundHer FundHers, I speak with Arlyne Chinyanganya, founder of Roots to Froots, about breaking the silence around money, moving beyond survival mode and building lasting financial wellbeing. We discuss wealth, confidence, community, financial education and why understanding money is one of the most powerful tools we can give ourselves and the generations that follow.
