Hello, its me... Charlotte
(or Chaz when I'm in Rebel mode 😘)
Buckle up because I’m about to unload why I started Rebel & You—this is a big question, so let’s get into it...👇
1. Clear gap in the market
I can't take all the credit for spotting the huge gap in the cottage cheese market in New Zealand — my father-in-law, Peter, gets that honour. But once I dug deeper, I saw a real opportunity to shake things up and attempt to create New Zealand's first clean label & flavourful cottage cheese. I thought its about time to kick those boring, preservative-filled options from New Zealand's biggest brands to the curb. They have grown complacent for far too long. It’s time for cottage cheese that packs a punch, with flavours that excite and ingredients that don't make you question your life choices.
2. Challenging the status quo
I'm over it. The explosion of ultra-processed foods is wreaking havoc on our health, and I won’t settle or stay silent. I’m on a mission to return food to its roots—celebrating real ingredients, genuine flavours, and no artificial B.S. It’s time we stand up and demand better options... or create them ourselves. So, I won't be stopping at cottage cheese 👀.
It's not easy. And it's not cheap. But it's worth it.
On an even more personal level, I have some other 'whys' which only grow stronger as I get older.
3. Rebelling against the 9am-5pm.
After maternity leave (with my 2nd son), I finally accepted the harsh reality that the nine-to-five grind (let's be real, its 8:30am-5:30pm, if you're lucky!) is a trap for parents. I refuse to let guilt rob us of precious family moments. One of my personal missions? To create a business that prioritises family first, giving parents the freedom to truly be present for every milestone, if they choose (and without the guilt). And a business that gives young people the space & freedom they deserve to discover what truly lights their fire, to learn without the endless grind of just “proving themselves.”
You won't find us Rebels pushing through the 3pm hump, we will be on a hot girl or hot boy walk, listening to a podcast that lights our fire.
