For women who have crossed a threshold and refuse to
return to who they were before.
A place to re-inhabit yourself.
This is not about fixing what’s broken. It is about
remembering what was never broken to begin with.
This work is steady. It is honest.
There is no rush here. Only truth.
This is the long work of returning
to the self where survival gives way to sovereignty.
From the Field Guides
A field guide to what was passed
down and what we’re still healing.
My grandmother stole those jeans from her brother. In the 1920s, that was a declaration of her spitfire personality. She was truly one of a kind.
But that’s not the part that stayed with me.
She also spent decades editing herself in the presence of the man she loved.
She wasn’t broken by that.
But she was shaped by it.
And so was her daughter.
And so was I.
This is what we inherit.
Not just who they were, but what shaped them.
Additional Field Guides
Long-form essays, cultural reflections, and dispatches from
the edge of rupture and return.
When the Ground Beneath Us Breaks
A field guide to staying human while white knuckling it.
“We are living through something, and we are living through it together. Same headlines. Same tension. Same quiet dread. Just in different rooms, at the same hour, in different time zones.”
Mary Magdalene
A field guide to what was taken.
“As a young Catholic schoolgirl in a pleated plaid skirt and green kneesocks, something in me always knew the story they were telling about Mary Magdalene was all wrong.“
A Field Guide to Rupture
A field guide to living through collapse without losing yourself.
“Rupture is not the event itself.
It is the reorganization that follows.
When I use the word rupture, I am not describing something dramatic or visible. I am describing the internal shift that happens when stability gives way and the body reorganizes itself around the loss.
“
Ways to Walk with Us
Rebel Thriver is a body of work devoted to women reclaiming self-trust after rupture, and learning to stand inside their lives without collapse.
Pathway 1: Teachings
For women ready to walk a guided path.
Our teachings are held through small group journeys rooted in lived wisdom, embodiment, and shared inquiry.
This work unfolds over time, honoring each woman’s pace
and capacity
Pathway 2: Writing & Creative Work
Because language shapes reality.
Rebel Thriver is also a body of writing, art, and creative expression — offered as mirrors, touchstones, and quiet companions.
These words are not instructions. They are invitations to see yourself more clearly, and to remember what you already know.
Pathway 3: Circles & Gatherings
For women who are ready to be seen without shrinking.
Through circles, conversations, and live gatherings,
we create spaces where women can speak honestly, listen deeply, and be met without fixing or interruption.
These spaces are held with intention & respect.
No hierarchy.
No performance.
Just presence.
You don’t have to start at the beginning, and you don’t have
to know where it all leads. Begin where you are. The rest will reveal itself in time.
The Four Threads
These threads run through every offering, gathering, and word we share. They are not steps to complete. They are the ground beneath everything.
Truth-Telling
Healing begins when women tell the truth —
about what they’ve lived,
what they’ve lost,
and what they know now.
This is not confession.
It is clarity.
Embodied Healing
Healing is not an idea.
It lives in the body, the breath,
and the nervous system.
We move with care for what has
been carried and respect for what
is ready to change.
Community & Choice
We heal in relationship —
never through pressure or performance.
Community here is invitational.
Women choose how they engage,
when they step forward,
and what they carry forward with them.
Creative Expression
Words, art, ritual, and imagination
are not extras here. They are tools
of remembrance.
Creativity gives form to what
language alone cannot hold.
You don’t have to know where this leads. You only have to recognize when something feels true. If something here resonates, trust that. Begin where you are.
