A true story of manifestation
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.
From a young age, I'd always been an overachiever, top of my class for everything. I deeply loved Art and even won the school award, but somehow it felt 'safer' to study Maths at university, much to the confusion of my parents. So after graduating, I fell into the corporate world in London, working in law and investment banking - continuously driven by the need to 'achieve' and the external validation it provided.
On the surface I was successful, but deep down I knew something wasn’t right. I was unfulfilled. 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 and created a vision board. It included going travelling again, waking up next to my soulmate, working for myself and doing something to positively impact the world. 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 quit my job too and off we drove into the sunset, dreaming and strategising about how to change the world for the better. I realise now it was my first lesson in manifestation and I hadn't even known.
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’d never been able to find clothes that truly felt like me. There was something inside of me I needed to express.
Since then, and after much inner work to truly understand who I am and heal, I've realised I have a purpose that goes way deeper.
I’m on a soul-led mission to empower a community of spiritual badasses who are here to lead the way to a new world. To do the inner work to heal themselves, lead by example and unite with their soul family to create an abundant world for all. A world where the Divine Feminine & Masculine are in balance.
This is why URBAN GILT exists as a fully conscious fashion brand infused with the values of a new world to empower impact-driven spiritual badasses like you and me. Because I believe that when we each step up to claim our sovereign power and lead others to do the same, the world will be transformed from the inside out.
I know from my personal experience that confronting your shadows can be scary. I’m wired for it as part of my mission, but it doesn't mean it’s an easy path. Which is why I want you to know you’re not alone. Your soul family and I are here on this journey with you. To support each other and do it together.
We have the power to create a magical world beyond our wildest dreams for ourselves and future generations to come. So let’s evolve ourselves and the planet together.
