On Becoming Authentic & Aligned: A Founder's Life in Practice
What happens when the qualities that helped you build a business are no longer enough to lead it through what comes next?
Megan Larsen is the founder of Sodashi, an Australian premium natural skincare brand recognised internationally for its uncompromising approach to quality, wellbeing and conscious beauty. For more than 25 years, she has led Sodashi with a philosophy that has remained remarkably consistent: commercial success and deeply held values do not have to exist at odds with one another.
Megan's first book, Startups & Self-Care, explored the lessons of building a business while learning to care for the person behind it.
In On Becoming Authentic & Aligned, she turns her attention to what happens as both founder and business mature.
Drawing on more than two decades of experience, Megan reflects on the changing role of the founder and the personal evolution that growth demands. She explores trust and discernment, founder ego, boundaries, delegation, business culture, self-worth, self-care and the challenge of remaining connected to your values as more people, pressures and opportunities enter the business.
This is not a prescriptive business manual. It is a candid reflection on the moments when Megan's own way of leading needed to change - when collaboration became accommodation, generosity became overextension, trust needed greater discernment and letting go required learning where her responsibility truly lay.
At its heart, On Becoming Authentic & Aligned is about leadership, but also about becoming: knowing and owning who you are, then continually bringing the way you live and lead back into alignment with what matters most.
For founders, entrepreneurs and business leaders navigating growth, change or a shifting sense of their role, it offers a thoughtful account of what it means to evolve alongside the business you have built.
