There are two things I’ve been sitting with today:

When I help others, life flourishes.
And wealth becomes a side effect of truth.

This week reminded me that alignment—real alignment—isn’t something we hustle for. It’s something we allow.

I wrote a short reflection on being, not doing. On letting go of what’s not serving. On rising.

It’s part thank you, part meditation, part reminder that when you’re true to yourself, the path unfolds.

🚨I HAVE BEEN HACKED ACROSS ALL MY INSTAGRAM ACCOUNTS both work and professional 🚨

It’s an AI that’s making personal posts with my pictures and skiing people for information. All kids of promotional asks like “new clothing line” and “new property” and trying to scam people. This is NOT ME!!! Here are all the account they have gone into.

Founder’s Statement:

Caro, owned and operated by 💯 women since 2004, embodies creativity, intuition, ambition, healing, exploration, and love, traits I’ve held since childhood.

In 1995, I earned my degree in environmental politics, initially preparing for a legal career. However, my journey led me to discover my voice through music, performing for six years.

Transitioning to the tech industry in San Francisco and later joining the founding team of Von Dutch in LA, I witnessed the power of mass reach, deepening my sense of womanhood.

Alongside personal milestones like marriage and motherhood, my journey has been one of self-discovery. Working with brands and startups, I’ve shared insights on resilience, economy, marketing, and storytelling.

Today, I celebrate those who shaped my journey, thrilled by Caro’s women and clients’ success.

Excited to unveil , merging feminine perspective, and continuing to innovate in ethical fashion, technology, wellness, prioritizing women-led initiatives.

Special thanks to my husband Steve, mom aka Dr Jean, April, Grace, Elena, Gabrielle, Pontus, Greg, Jessie, my clients, fellow consultants and spiritual gurus.

I could not feel more empowered this Woman’s Month, ready to share the knowledge and resources I’ve earned and to raise awareness and consciousness for businesses and the work inside them.

To the women who paved the way for us, and to those who will lead future generations. 🕊️

Thank you,
Caroline

For his first runway show, Benjamin Benmoyal wanted to share his passion for weaving — first by sending out specially made toy hand looms to his 300 guests, a feat that took six months to prepare.

His collection was no less ambitious. It involved the development of 60 different fabrics (previous offerings involved five or six different bespoke textiles). “I wanted to push the craft element to the maximum, but it’s an industrial craft, because we can manufacture and commercialize these fabrics,” he said backstage before the show.

It’s been a joy to work with Gabrielle Brenn. A woman who was raised by her mother and knew at a young age that she was called to enter the world of finance and understand money, how it flows, operates and fuels us. After graduating from NYU Stern she entered the world of finance at McKinsey and then JP Morgan. It’s an honor to have her as our Chief of Staff Advisor and working with us to help more women and maverick entrepreneurs innovate and build better business.
