Creating Space for Dreams

My journey to creating Twofold Cooperative is and has always been about progress over perfection. It’s about learning to listen to that small voice inside—the one that guides us to be who we’re meant to be. Several years ago, I made a conscious decision to start living more in line with my values. I began small, but as I learned more, I became increasingly intentional about how my daily choices affect both people and the planet.

The result? I felt lighter. And that lightness created space for inspiration. This brand is a tribute to my mom, who left us too soon and never got to fully explore all of her dreams. By honoring my own inner voice and pursuing my own dreams, I hope to show my kids that their dreams are worth pursuing, too.

I once heard the quote, “My mom clapped so loud for me that I never noticed who didn’t.” I felt that growing up, and as a mom, I want my kids to feel it too. But even more, it’s the energy I want to send out into the world—to create a space where everyone feels supported enough to dream big, no matter what.

I chose My Very Own Bed as the beneficiary for our debut collection because their mission truly moves me. They’re a small but mighty organization making real impacts for real families. I’m deeply grateful to our customers—your support makes this contribution possible, even in small but meaningful ways. Rest is essential to how we show up for our families and our purpose, and being part of a child’s sleep story—and a parent’s peace of mind—is a true honor. It’s about taking one worry off their plate, giving them just a bit more space to keep clapping so loud that their child never notices who isn’t.

Thank you for being here and for taking the time to learn about Twofold Cooperative. It’s my hope that our story inspires you to embrace progress over perfection in your own life. Whether it’s a small change or a big dream, know that every step matters. And I’m grateful to be part of this journey with you.

Dream Big,
