Your Bag is Empty
Read our founder Lisa’s story of how URBAN GILT was created
Before my spiritual awakening, I had no idea about the power of thoughts or what manifestation was. But all that was about to change. The world as I knew it was about to be flipped upside down.
Back then, I was in the corporate world working in law and finance in London. The pulse and energy of working in the City was intoxicating. Being surrounded by all that masculine energy of focus and doing is hugely appealing. But even before I understood the power of yin and yang, I knew something wasn’t right. I craved freedom and the ability to express my creativity. I knew I was capable of so much more.
While giving some thought to living a more fulfilling life, I journaled my dream day along with creating a vision board. It included waking up next to my soulmate, working for myself and doing something to benefit the world. As well as going travelling again. None of which I had! Then work, as usual, got in the way and I gave it no more thought... Until I got a message from a friend, which was about to change my life.
I was set up on a blind date with Hadrian. He'd already quit his job, was about to go travelling and wanted to start a business. I was blown away - the Universe had been listening!
The blind date went so well that just four weeks later, I'd quit my job too and off we drove into the sunset, scheming about how to change the world for the better. I realise now that it was my first lesson in manifestation and I didn't even know it.
Towards the end of our travels, we were sitting at our Airbnb kitchen table in San Francisco, when I told Hadrian I wanted to start a fashion brand. At first, he thought I was mad. But for me, it made perfect sense. I’ve never been able to find clothes that felt sleek, sophisticated and badass.
Since then and after much inner work, I've realised it goes way deeper than that. I have a soul-led message to share with the world and this is the lifetime I get to do it - YES!
But it’s also a noisy world out there. So to spread your message you need to be noticed. You need to stand out. And clothes are the perfect way to represent who you are, share your message and make an impact.
I'm living proof because before we started this brand, I didn't have the confidence to be the leader I knew I was capable of being. So it's poetic that my own brand and clothes have empowered me to step up and finally claim my place in the world.
I truly believe abundance is our birthright. That you can be woo AF on the inside and still dress badass AF on the outside! That you can love the healing abilities of nature but still belong in the heart of the city. And I hazard a guess that if you've read this far, then you likely feel the same.
URBAN GILT began in 2015 and is here to support the GILTY tribe.
The women who know abundance is their birthright and by stepping into their Queenhood, the whole world benefits. The female soul-aligned leaders and entrepreneurs who aren't afraid to confront their inner shadows, because they know that when they heal themselves, they heal the world.
I deeply believe when you’re in alignment with your soul and unite with others who share the same values as you, the world will be better for everyone.
If this resonates, I'd love for you to join me by signing up below, so we can evolve ourselves and the planet together.
Much love & stay GILTY,
