Let’s Grow Stronger Together
Like a muscle getting stronger, we have to stretch before we can grow. It’s always better to stretch together. THANK YOU for considering growing with me.
Stronger Girl is a community that invites you to fully live out your uniquely creative and heroic life stories with confidence and compassion.
Through Stronger Girl on Substack, I’m offering essays and fun content that invite you to ride shotgun along some pretty vulnerable and sometimes funny, sometimes painful, moments that have transformed me. Perhaps, they’ll transform you too! I’ll feature Q & A discussions and profiles of stronger girls who embrace challenges with strength, faith and boldness. Throw in a few sneak peeks into my upcoming memoir, a couple of recipes, a survey and a poem or two and you’ll find that Stronger Girl delivers what you crave — inspirational content + connection that fuels you. (A lot like a good cup of coffee and a great smelling candle.)
These three girls are my why.
They are why I fought for my marriage of 28 years.
They are why I fought for myself when it came crashing down in 2020.
They are why I launched Stronger Girl and why I share what I’ve learned with others.
They are my legacy, and so are their someday daughters + one already-here granddaughter.
The phrase, “Stronger Girl,” was coined by my youngest on a hike in Red River Gorge, Kentucky. (And, yes, there’s an essay here you can read that invites you into that story. And, another yes, I host a retreat there to honor this journey of becoming a stronger girl.)
Stronger Girl is in pursuit of building a vibrant, world-wide community of women who are growing stronger together. On the horizon are guest posts, coffee chats, a podcast and online retreats, book discussions + more!
I encourage connection around here and invite you to reach beyond your comfort zone to meet new people, try new things and discover how vulnerability is the secret ingredient for growth.
BONUS POINTS IF YOU LIKE COFFEE …
The Stronger Girl initiative is fueled by connection, in addition to online sales of coffee and candles. Why? Because coffee is part of my story, and sharing my story is how I’ve survived and transformed. (My upcoming memoir, Stronger Girl, details that survival story if you’re interested in a sneak peek or happen to have a publishing connection.)
