Rebecca, the founder of BLOC + ROSE, is a brand and storytelling strategist, word of mouth aficionado, champion of camaraderie over competition and a big believer that Figuring Shit Out is an art.
Unashamedly obsessed with the power and responsibility of great storytelling and the psychology behind why we talk, Rebecca helps female founders align their business and beliefs, close the gap between what they want to be said, and what their audience need to hear and build brands that set their fucking souls on fire.
As part of her mission to radically rebalance the weighting masculine and feminine energy in the world, and build a new future that prioritises equality and ecology, protection and restoration over profit and shareholders, in 2022 BLOC + ROSE will become climate positive, donate a % of profits to charities Tree Sisters and Furnishing Futures and support one female-led not-for-profit, for free, each year, who’re doing something incredible to empower women or protect our planet.
Prior to launching BLOC + ROSE Rebecca spent five years at the helm of a Word of Mouth agency and 10 years rising through the marketing ranks at beauty and beverage brands. She regularly consults for agencies and delivers rousing, educational talks for entrepreneurs. Can also make hats.
Her top tip for personal development is: Self-development isn't linear. It always doesn't happen when you start the course or the practice. The biggest shifts can catch you by surprise - the commitment you have to make to yourself is to notice them when they arise and integrate them.

Emily works in the women's wellness sector and amongst herself and my team she offers her clients a bespoke mentorship programme that supports them with their health and wellness goals. Her company is called FitQueen which she created 5 years ago. Her journey commenced after her own 5 stone weight loss journey, she was working a job she hated which entailed long hours and she was incredibly unhappy with her health and relationship with food and body image. She decided to leave her demanding corporate job and commence her journey to better health and that led to her launching FitQueen after living and breathing the journey of finding her comfortable, confident body shape whilst finding a career she loved. She now spends my time managing her incredible team who work alongside her to deliver their FitQueen programme.
Her top tip for personal development is: "There is no right or wrong direction with personal development. Your journey and your needs to grow and evolve will be unique to you. Don't overthink, just move on the decisions which feel right to you within that moment which aligns with making you happy."

Tamsin is a Transformational Life and Mindset Coach for Mums. She supports ambitious but unfulfilled Mums who feel their passion, purpose and potential have been stifled by the intensity of the Mum juggle.
Her top tip for personal development is: "My top tip for personal development is to really think about how you want to FEEL and what you really NEED to grow as a whole person. Often we naturally lean into personal development to support us professionally - more training, studying, qualifications (which is hugely valuable). But considering ways to develop, heal, grow and connect with yourself as a WHOLE person can often have a profound ripple effect on how you tackle or show up in all parts of your life beyond work/business, even if it's not obviously connected, to begin with."
