LYMA joins The King's Trust for an International Women's Day breakfast - backing young women when it matters most.
More than 900,000 young people across the UK wake up without access to work, training or education. For young women, those barriers run deeper.
They don’t just close doors - they make young women question whether the doors were ever meant for them.
We refuse to accept that.
The Morning
This morning, alongside The King’s Trust and their Change a Girl’s Life campaign, we hosted an intimate breakfast and panel conversation at LYMA HQ - bringing together founder Lucy Goff, the remarkable Dina Geha of The Kid in Her, and Georgia Leslie: King’s Trust alumna, and founder of Coconut Palm.
Forty-five of London’s most influential women - lawyers, bankers, founders - gathered not for a networking event, but for something rarer. A conversation about adversity. Reinvention. And the extraordinary things that happen when young women are backed at the moment it matters most.
The conversation was honest. It was galvanising. Because when we invest in young women, they don’t just enter the workforce.
They transform it.
“When I think about who should be in the room for a conversation like this, LYMA is the obvious answer. Lucy didn’t build a wellness brand - she built a rebellion against an industry that was failing women. That’s exactly the energy Change a Girl’s Life runs on. Because what we’re really talking about is giving women the support that is often hard to access: the truth, the tools, and someone in their corner.” - Dina Geha, Founder, The Kid in Her
Lucy Goff - From Survival to Science
Lucy built LYMA after a life-threatening health crisis - six weeks in intensive care following septicemia after the birth of her daughter. When she left hospital, her body didn’t recover the way doctors expected. The medications and supplements prescribed simply didn’t work.
It was that failure - that fundamental gap between what the wellness industry promised and what it could actually deliver - that became the foundation of everything LYMA stands for today. Clinically relevant dosages. Peer-reviewed science. No marketing fluff.
LYMA was built on the belief that every woman deserves to feel her best - physically, mentally, fully. But what does that even mean if so many young women never get the chance to begin?
That’s why we partnered with The King’s Trust and their Change a Girl’s Life campaign. Not as a checkbox. Not as a press moment. But because it matters. Because she matters.
Georgia Leslie - Grief To Growth
Georgia Leslie lost her mother in 2020. What followed was a period of profound loss - the kind that carries a different weight. A quieter kind of erasure.
Through The King’s Trust Enterprise Programme, Georgia found the confidence, the structure, and the belief to start again. Today, she is the founder of Coconut Palm - and she sat in that room this morning not as a beneficiary, but as a peer. A founder in her own right.
Hearing Georgia speak - I was reminded why we do any of this. We don’t just invest in young women so they can enter the workforce. We invest in them so they can transform it.
“There is a generation of young women right now who will build the companies, the science, the futures we haven’t even imagined yet. But only if someone believes in them first. LYMA understands that. Because at its core, LYMA is not a wellness company - it’s a statement that women’s potential is limitless when given the right foundation. That’s what we’re doing today. Laying foundations. And I can’t think of a more fitting partner to do that with.”

Power Has No Age Limit
What struck me most about this morning was the span of it. Georgia at the beginning of her story. Lucy in the full force of hers. The women in that room - each at a different chapter, each carrying a different kind of hard-won wisdom.
And every single one of them, powerful.
We talk about empowerment as though it belongs to youth - as though belief is something you either have early or miss entirely. But that is not what I have seen. Not in this room. Not in the women I have built LYMA alongside. Not in myself.
Power doesn’t peak. It deepens. It compounds. It becomes something else entirely when it is held by a woman who has lived - who has lost something, rebuilt something, chosen herself after every reason not to.
At 25, belief is instinct. At 45, it is armour. At 60, it is architecture - something you pass on, something you build the next generation inside of.
That is what we were doing in that room. Women at every stage, in every season of their strength, choosing to show up for the ones who come after. Not because it is easy. Because they remember what it felt like when no one did.
“The most powerful thing a woman can do is refuse to believe that her moment has passed and the second most powerful thing is to turn around and tell the woman behind her that hers hasn’t started yet.”
- Lucy Goff, LYMA Founder
Why This Matters
Neither Lucy nor Georgia waited to feel ready. Lucy didn’t wait to be fully healed. Georgia didn’t wait to stop grieving. They moved anyway.
And that is exactly why Change a Girl’s Life matters. Because when young women are supported at their most vulnerable moment - extraordinary things happen.
Supporting Change a Girl’s Life is not charity. It is investment. It is prevention. It is belief. Because when you change a girl’s life - you don’t just change her future. You change generations.
LYMA is proud to support The King’s Trust Change a Girl’s Life campaign. This is one of the most important things we do.
Today broke me open. In the best possible way.
Thank you to the extraordinary Dina Geha of The Kid in Her for hosting with such grace and heart. To every woman in that room this morning - thank you for showing up.
This is just the beginning. 🤍
Lucy Goff
Founder, LYMA
