I’m Orla, and I’m so excited to share the story behind our brand with you. It all began with a very simple, yet powerful question, and it’s a question that has stuck with me since I was first asked it. The question is this: What would you do, if you were ten times braver?

I want you to take a moment to think about that, if you will. You see, this isn’t about what you would do if you were richer or had a better job or if life had worked out differently for you. But rather, it is about what you would do with your life, as it is right now, if you were ten times braver. Can you see why I find it so profound? It’s because it forces you to look inward for both question and answer. And that is where I have come to believe our biggest, bravest lives exist already, inside ourselves.

For me, my answer was what you’re looking at right now. Our brand. My braver, bolder life involves sharing my learnings from a lifetime of anxiety, from years of interviewing the most successful sporting and business brains, from choosing a very public career and all the trolling that has brought my way, my journey to sobriety and through to my longstanding fascination and love for philosophy, meditation and exercise. It is the bringing together of all of this in a way that I truly hope will resonate, and will make a difference to your life.

There is a reason you have found yourself on this website. If you know there’s something bigger waiting for you, if you can feel in your gut that you were meant for more, and the world was meant for more of you, then we are your community.

If you are hungry for a bigger life, but are holding yourself back because of a fear of failure, because of a fear of standing out, a fear of success even, then this is your support.

Here, you will find a growing range of products, as well as details of real-life events that bring our community to life. We are only getting started, but I want to make this your one-stop shop for all things bravery, from mind, to body, to lifestyle.

And because I know that there is already a tonne of advice and products out there which claim to make your life better, I won’t waste your time. I know you’re busy. I’m a trained journalist and I do the research so you don’t have to. I only offer top quality products that are worth your money, and valuable hacks that I can fit it into my own busy life.

Bravery is not the absence of fear; it is feeling fear and going right ahead and doing it anyway.

Welcome to Ten Times Braver – where your braver life begins.
