MEET SYLVIA

Hi, I’m Sylvia.

I’m the oldest of the Gen Zs, which means I remember dial-up internet and I’ve been personally victimised by a budgeting app. I started The Total Woman Concept because I was tired of advice written for a life nobody I know is actually living.

You know the kind. Wake up at 5am. Drink the green juice. Save half your salary. Have a skincare routine with eleven steps and a career that never sends you an email at 10pm. Meanwhile rent went up, groceries went up, and the one pair of jeans that fit perfectly got discontinued.

What this place is

The Total Woman Concept is a space for women who want more: more clarity, more confidence, more balance and a more intentional life, without the pressure to be perfect. I write about womanhood, beauty, health, money, work, home and travel, with realism, a little sarcasm, and a lot of love.

And it’s for every woman. Black, white, brown, every shade in between; wherever you’re from, wherever you’re starting. Your background doesn’t decide your future. A plan helps, and so does a community.

What I believe

  • Progress beats perfection. One percent better than last month counts.
  • Money is personal and social. Budgets should make room for family, friends and joy.
  • Rest isn’t a reward. It’s part of the plan.
  • Honesty is kindness. Especially about the hard stuff.
  • We’re better together. That’s what The Circle is for.

Where to start

With love, Sylvia
