For years I thought success meant pushing harder. Long hours. Minimal sleep. Running on caffeine.

Then I was diagnosed with cancer and I had no choice but to stop.

The problem wasn't just that I was busy. It was that I didn't know how to mentally end my workday. Even when I closed my laptop, work came home with me. It followed me into my evenings and my weekends.

During that time I discovered silk.

At first it was simply a small comfort. But it also made me pay attention to the small things that help us transition from one part of the day to the next.

It made me wonder how many other women are living like this?

Not women facing a life-changing diagnosis but women living the everyday reality of ambitious careers. Women leading businesses, managing teams, making decisions all day long and still carrying the weight of work long after the day is supposed to be over.

We often accept it as normal.

We tell ourselves it's the price of ambition.

I don't believe it has to be.

That's why I created Silksory and The Night Edit Method™.

A simple three-step approach designed to help ambitious women create a clear boundary between work and evening.

I built Silksory because I lived this.

My hope is that other women don't have to wait for life to force them to slow down before they realise they deserve an ending to their workday.

Because closing your laptop should be the end of your workday not just the end of your screen.
