Growth is a work in progress.
Overcoming Struggles with Daily Rituals: Kimberley Lau’s Rewear Revolution
Kimberly Lau, founder of Project Rewear, is no stranger to pressure. On this week’s Brave New Girls podcast, she shares the vision behind her mission: redefining children’s fashion with purpose and sustainability—but she’s also navigating the daily juggle of single motherhood, running a start-up, and keeping her own wellbeing intact.
When Kimberly talks about rescuing clothing from landfill, she’s also talking about rescuing meaning from chaos. Her passion is fuelled by purpose, but purpose doesn’t make things easy. She’s upfront about the overwhelm, the long days, the fear of not doing enough. “Balance,” she says, “is a constant work in progress. And believe me—there are days I feel like I fail. And that’s okay.”
Kimberly’s daily wellbeing practices aren’t flashy—they’re deeply intentional. She takes her dogs for walks, wakes early to read in the garden, and finds calm in Pilates or solo strolls before the chaos of the day begins. These grounding habits allow her to reconnect with herself and stay rooted in her mission.
What stands out is her quiet courage to keep going, even when the demands feel too much. She admits that, like many women, she has a tendency to put herself last—“I’m a people pleaser,” she confesses, “but I’m learning to put my own oxygen mask on first.”
So how can we learn from Kimberly’s journey? How can we grow with grace while doing hard things?
The answer lies not in striving for perfection, but in practising gentleness and persistence. Growth is not a straight line—it’s a series of returns: back to our values, our bodies, our breath, and the small things that make us feel like ourselves again.
Whether you’re raising a family, building a business, or simply trying to do better for the planet, Kimberly reminds us that wellbeing isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. Her resilience doesn’t come from superhuman strength, but from staying connected to what matters most: empathy, intention, and community.

Ten Actionable Steps for Building Wellbeing
Ground yourself in gratitude.
Begin the day by acknowledging one small thing you’re grateful for. It sets the tone for conscious living.Reclaim small pockets of peace.
Walks, a quiet tea, a few pages of a book—make space to recharge even in the busiest days.Own your needs.
Say no when needed. Boundaries are a powerful form of self-care, not selfishness.Work with what you have.
Kimberly reminds us that impact starts where we are. Use your skills, passions, and community to begin.Trust your intuition.
Follow your gut, even when it doesn’t make perfect sense. Kimberly launched Project Rewear before she had a “plan”—and it worked.Hold space for imperfection.
Growth is messy. Let go of perfectionism and let yourself evolve slowly.Tune into your body.
Movement matters. Whether it’s Pilates, stretching, or dance—listen to what your body needs.Help others—but include yourself.
Empathy is powerful, but don’t pour from an empty cup. Care begins with you.Track your progress.
Celebrate small wins—like Kimberly’s landfill board tracking the pounds saved. Your actions matter.Honour your mission.
