BUILT BY A WARRIOR. FOR WARRIORS.
WHy Sophie Started I&B
I started Iron & Bloom after my aunt's suicide and my own mental health struggles showed me how broken the mental health system is.
I watched the system fail her. I experienced therapy culture keeping me stuck in victim mentality for years.
I learned what the science actually says about mental health - and it's not what therapists tell you.
Iron & Bloom is the alternative.
THE MISSION
We're building the conservative answer to therapy culture, dating apps, and Instagram fitness.
Through podcast content, premium apparel, and transformation programs, we're creating a community of warriors who choose accountability over validation.
Warriors not victims. Forge your legacy.
THE PHILOSOPHY
Strength before beauty. Iron before bloom. Always.
You must build the foundation (mental health, fitness, character) before you can flourish in relationships and life.
That's what we do here.

Founder, Iron & Bloom Co.
THE CULTURE IS BROKEN. WE'RE FIXING IT.
Modern wellness culture has created a generation of people who:
Pay thousands for therapy that validates their excuses
Swipe through hundreds of people looking for "the one" while destroying their ability to commit
Take selfies at the gym but can't do a pull-up
Buy every self-help book but never execute a single strategy
Prioritize comfort over growth, validation over truth, options over loyalty
And we're told this is "progress."
It's not. It's cultural decay.
Iron & Bloom is the response. We're building warriors who take responsibility, demand loyalty, execute relentlessly, and forge legacies.
We're not for everyone. That's the point.
WARRIORS PROTECT
Iron & Bloom builds you. the Pack Ops shows you what to do with that strength.
I also run The Pack Ops—a tactical apparel brand funding direct-action dog rescue missions. 100% of profits go to keeping families and their dogs together during financial hardship.
Why both?
Because warriors don't just build themselves. They protect the vulnerable. Both brands operate under the same values: loyalty, action, accountability, community.
