She didn’t start a brand to go viral. She started it to find herself again.

At 47, Caroline Baudino thought life had passed her by. Her father was sick, her confidence was gone, and her reflection felt like a stranger’s. But instead of breaking down, she gave herself a simple assignment: Get up. Get dressed. And what began as one woman’s daily act of courage evolved into Shop with Caroline, a brand that now inspires nearly a million women to rediscover their worth and their voice.
