Esther Molyneux is the founder and creator of She is Found Studio, a British faith-based stationery and self-development brand with a fresh perspective.

Esther’s background is in design and creative problem- solving; taking a seed of an idea and turning it into reality. She’s worked for brands such as ASOS, Kurt Geiger and French Connection, in senior roles as part of their creative and fashion teams. Esther seeks to combine effortless design, luxury and utility.

In today’s new episode, Esther shares her journey and life’s battles - figuring out who she was, and where she was heading. As Esther so beautifully shares, every individual voice matters, every woman matters, yet as we women we often struggle to walk the life of our choosing, and the sense of freedom that we all deserve. Esther shares the journey she embarked on to find herself again, and the twists and turns she encountered along the way.

After a difficult past few years with a lot of change - the breakdown of her marriage left her as a single mom, losing her home, job, and identity. Her relationship with her faith has inspired her to set up her own business to work around motherhood. Esther’s turn around came when she discovered a love, hope and faith in Christ. For Esther, faith was a turning point. It wasn’t a faith in herself or in religion, but as she shares it was a trust in god who loves her as she is. While Esther is in no way religious, she found an intimacy in faith that allowed her to reconnect to herself and find healing - spiritually, mentally and emotionally. Esther’s reflections on how she started to discover her life again, will remind you that we can all embark on our own path of transformation in our own way, when we’re ready.

Today, Esther is a coffee-fueled single mother juggling life with a passionate drive to serve others. She’s spreading messages of love to help women feel less alone in their journey, and encourage women to own and celebrate their enough-ness. She is Found Studio has created ‘Her Collection’ which is a modern stationery edit carefully crafted to combine words of faith, self-development and creativity. Blank pages and empty lines can sometimes be discouraging, so Her Collection uses beautiful photography and layouts that create a bold, stunning backdrop.

“I’m unashamed of my past or how my future is shaping up to be. Yes, I’m still on welfare and my history caused me to doubt myself, and yes I still experience grief, however my soul is free. I believe women should experience a walk of freedom, undeterred by the voices that shut us down and out. We all deserve a space to become women that can grow in love, strength, courage and wisdom. This walk is different and unique as individuals, but a spark of confidence can trigger a life of living in perpetual light full of love, joy and peace.”
