HI, I’M CARLY STEWART
Authentic branding, ethical marketing and rejecting ‘hustle culture’ nonsense? That’s my jam.
You started this business to create freedom, not burnout. So let’s stop stressing about follower counts or trying to hack the algorithm. Life’s too short for that.
I’m about strong foundations and human connection. Together, we’ll bring your business to life, uplevel your presence and connect you with the clients and customers who actually get you -building a business that supports what matters most.
Featured Clients
Brilliant women making their businesses work for them.
I’ll help you to
ENGAGE your audience,
IMPRESS your followers and
WOO your dream clients.
I guide heart-led women, the GENTLE REBELS and pattern-breakers who are waking up to the -work-to-live- trap they’ve found themselves in.
Are you working all hours just to afford your bills and shopping for the dopamine fix while missing out on real life, family, friends, connection and joy. You don’t want to choose between ambition and family, income and wellbeing, growth and flexibility. You want to figure out how to balance both, and it is possible.
Some of my clients come to me for the whole shebang - branding, websites, marketing, mentoring and strategy - because they want someone in their corner as they launch or grow. Others need a designer they can trust to bring their vision to life with beautiful, functional materials that work.
Either way, my role is the same: to create branding, websites and marketing tools that feel like you, connect with your audience, and give you the confidence to move forward.
“Omg I flipping love working with you! You just get me at first take… you are so bloody clever. I mean, seriously. You f*cking rock! I feel so happy!”

Putting your trust and investment into someone can feel daunting, I’m here to make it enjoyable, supportive and collaborative.
WE’RE A GOOD MATCH IF…
🤝 You're skilled but craving a sounding board, honest feedback, and soul-aligned accountability as you evolve.
🌱 You want to show up with confidence - with a presence (online + off) that reflects who you truly are.
🔥 You're done with hustle culture, toxic systems, and strategies that ignore your nervous system.
👩👧 You want your work to support your life, your family, and your values - not compete with them.
💡 You’re all about meaningful growth, not performative success. You want to build something real, ethical, and sustainable.
🧠 You’re deep in the personal development journey - and know that investing in yourself shifts everything.
🛑 You’re tired of DIYing your way forward. You want clear guidance, real conversations, and a brand rooted in you.
⏳ You’re ready to collapse timelines, get unstuck, and finally move with clarity & confidence.
A BIT ABOUT ME
For years, I chased a version of success that looked good on paper but left me drained and disconnected.
I got the job, the clients and the passport stamps. I thought freedom meant working for myself - but the real shift came when I stopped performing the ‘capable woman act’ and started showing up as my full, messy, intuitive self at home and in business.
Now I help women build brands that feel like home. No pretending, no burning out, just work that reflects who they are and what they stand for.
This is business on YOUR terms
and you don't have to do it alone…

My PORTFOLIO
My MANIFESTO
We’re not chasing trends, approval or success that costs us our peace. We’re choosing intention over urgency, community over comparison and meaning over metrics. We believe that life isn’t something to be squeezed into the cracks between work and bills. We’re no longer ignoring the impact we’re having on the planet and we’re listening to our intuition and the cycles of nature. We’re using our voices and spending power to shape a better world and we’re raising children to appreciate presence over presents. We’re leaving behind the grind that costs us our wellbeing and choosing growth that feels like healing, not pressure. We’re no longer doing things just because it’s the way it’s always been done. We can feel it, the fire in our hearts and the truth in our bones that life is precious and beautiful. We know we were never meant to do this alone, so we link arms with one another, creating space for community, truth, and the courage to live differently.
