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.

Visibility. Access. Influence. Power. Capital. These are words that can make people uncomfortable, particularly when women say them out loud. I’ve been reflecting on ambition recently and questioning why we’re often expected to soften it or explain it away. Perhaps the real conversation isn’t about whether we should want these things at all, but what we choose to do with them once we have them.

There’s a phase in building something meaningful where it feels like nothing is happening. You’re doing the work, but the response hasn’t caught up yet. I’ve been sitting with that recently, and I think we’ve misunderstood it. This isn’t a waiting room. It’s a proving ground. The question is whether you recognise it before you walk away.
