Why Women Should Be Growing and Supporting Each Other (It Starts with Our Style Choices!)

💖 Why Women Should Be Growing and Supporting Each Other (It Starts with Our Style Choices!)

This is a post concept that’s always been close to my heart! I’ve always believed that the very moment you enter this world, you are born into a powerful, non-verbal communication we call the sisterhood. It’s one that I'm so proud to be part of every day.

Last year was tough for so many small businesses, and it highlighted just how essential it is that we, as women, have each other’s backs. When I see my fellow sisters growing, achieving, and shining their bright lights, it genuinely lights my soul up! It makes me strive to be a better Yorkshire lass and a better small business owner.

So, why should women be championing and supporting each other—not just in life, but in the choices we make every day, right down to what we wear?

Here are 7 reasons why the sisterhood should always be lifting each other up:

1. Empowerment (The Power of Choice)

The women you surround yourself with should support, encourage, and have the biggest impact on your life. When you choose to invest in another woman—like a small batch jewellery creator—it is an act of empowerment. You are voting with your wallet to support her dream, her craft, and her growth. That positive energy flows right back to you!

2. Uniqueness (The Handmade Difference)

We are all unique, and that is our absolute superpower! The sisterhood understands and supports each other in the acceptance of our beautiful individuality. This translates directly to style:

• We don't judge you for your bold mixed media jewellery choices.

• We celebrate the fact you choose one-of-a-kind pieces over mass-produced uniformity.

We embrace that everyone experiences things differently, and that includes their style choices—there's no room for judgement here!

3. Inspiration (Style That Sparks Joy)

The sisterhood is a community which is truly inspiring. When you see a fellow sister rocking her life or a brilliant small business achieving a massive goal, it motivates you to be the best version of yourself. For me, hearing about the unique artistic things my fellow makers are up to encourages me to grow and strive even more to make my bold stylish jewellery stand out.

4. New Friends & Connections

Seeking out the sisterhood is a fabulous way to connect with new women around the world. Thanks to communities and social media, it's easier than ever to connect with stylish women who share your values—whether it’s supporting ethical fashion or loving boho chic accessories. Find your tribe!

5. Accountability (For Dreams & Goals)

Want to achieve something or set yourself a big goal? Your sisters will hold you accountable. This has become a valuable addition to my life, especially in running Created By Lau. If it wasn't for my fellow women encouraging and supporting my bespoke jewellery creation, I wouldn't have achieved as much as I have!

6. Advice (Priceless & Judgement-Free)

Advice is something we all need. Having someone there that understands what you’re going through—be it motherhood, starting a business, or knowing which statement necklace to wear—is so comforting. The help and advice a sister can give is priceless because it is free from judgement.

7. Mentorship (The Light)

There is nothing more rewarding than mentoring and uplifting my fellow sisters, whether it's through achieving their dreams or simply helping them find the confidence to wear a bold style. It is so empowering seeing them grow and shine their bright lights with the rest of the world.
