Endings don't necessarily have to be a bad thing, sometimes they are really the first steps to something amazing.

I made the decision to leave Kind Over Matter a few months ago, after much soul-searching and so many tears. I knew that I needed to follow my heart, even if it hurt right then and there, I knew that I needed to listen to what it was whispering to me.

Because I needed to create something, for each of you, and for myself.

I needed to create a place for women to share their stories, all of their stories. I needed to form a safe space, a place that where women could go and know bone-deep that they aren't alone, that no matter what, there is always someone out there that knows what she is going through.

Connection. Joy. Solidarity.

roots of she tells a story, the story of the female experience, in all of its shapes, sizes and forms.

Big & beautiful.
Small & sassy.

This first tribe is filled with such a gorgeous group of women, all sharing their stories, all opening their hearts: Darrah Parker, Lori Portka, Jamie Ridler, Andrea Schroeder and Sara Smaha.

We've created an amazing space, and I'm incredibly proud of what we're growing -- all of these tiny shoots reaching up to the light. I want to extend an invitation to you, to stop by roots of she -- we're throwing a big bash, filled with merriment, stories and... a special giveaway!

Come by whenever you need to go somewhere that is safe, where you will always be accepted and cherished, welcomed and embraced.

(You are never alone.)
