HEY BEAUTIFUL, YOU’VE GOT A STORY TO TELL

WHY NOT inspire others, and let your voice be heard with it?

does this resonate?

I’m on the edge of transformation
I can see the leaps I need to take to move forward, but I’m terrified of actually making them. I’ve been holding myself back for too long.

I’ve healed from a major live event
I’ve experienced something that changed me, and I need to share it, both to grow myself and to help others too.

I feel trapped by expectations
It feels like everyone my family, culture, partner, or society… has a vision for how my life should look. I just want the courage to follow my own path.

I have a story that I know matters
Even if it feels small, messy, or unfinished, I’m healing through it and it’s exactly the kind of story the world needs to hear.
