A transition from high performance to holistic thriving.

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been exploring pressure - what it brings out in us, how we respond when it hits, and the tools that can support us to navigate it with greater clarity, intention, and strength.

There’s a famous quote by tennis legend Billie Jean King: “Pressure is a privilege - it only comes to those who earn it.” At ACE, we believe in this sentiment wholeheartedly.

Pressure. It’s something we all encounter, whether it’s during a make-or-break business presentation, a challenging conversation with a teammate, or a deeply personal moment that demands clarity and composure.

What does pressure mean to you?

For me, it means feeling clouded - hypersensitive to my surroundings, easily overwhelmed, and at times, taking things too personally.

There’s a look and a feel when something clicks; when a decision, a brand, a direction, a feeling says: "Yes. That’s it. That’s me."

May was that moment for ACE.

What an opportunity to learn. What an opportunity to grow.

Eight days in New York City. The city that never sleeps offered more than just a change of scenery.

I never imagined I’d become an entrepreneur. Launching my own business wasn’t part of the plan. Back in 2016, when I first entered the industry, I had no idea it would light such a fire in me.
