A few years ago, I started to struggle—regulating my emotions, dealing with stress and anxiety, indecision, and the general sense of unfulfillment. 

Parenting became increasingly challenging for me, leaving me feeling both overwhelmed and underwhelmed. I wasn't the wife I aspired to be, and I struggled to forge meaningful connections. I felt lost and out of control; nothing seemed to fill the void inside me. While I didn't feel depressed, I was searching for something more.

I soon realised that many women I spoke to felt the same way. Many faced the burdens of indecision, guilt, and fear, all while juggling the constant demands of motherhood, work, relationships, and the quest for balance in an ever-demanding world. I was not alone in feeling lost.

Over time, I immersed myself into things that reignited my sense of vitality. I began implementing daily habits that provided stability during this emotionally-challenging period.

I believe in the power of daily rituals—whether it’s meditation, a walk, listening to your favorite songs, enjoying a relaxing bath, or setting aside time to sip tea while reflecting on the day. These small practices serve as building blocks that support us, allowing us space to breathe and gain clarity amid the chaos. This is where my idea for The Alchemy of Her originated.

In these moments, we learn to understand ourselves, show ourselves compassion, and confront our fears. It’s where we can choose how we want to show-up for our loved ones and, more importantly, for ourselves.

The butterflies featured in The Alchemy of Her branding symbolize transformation—shedding the thoughts that hold you back, and emerging on the other side empowered and free.

Thanks for visiting The Alchemy of Her. I hope you enjoy my organic tea blends just as much as I have loved creating them.
