The Shared Awakening
Stories of the moments that change us — and remind us we’re not alone.
You’re Invited…
To share in the collective truth.
The Shared Awakening is a collection of honest stories about the moments that shift us as women — quietly or all at once. The realizations, experiences, or turning points that change how we see ourselves, our lives or the world around us.
At it’s core, this project exists to take something deeply personal and make it feel shared — so that someone, somewhere, can read a story and feel less alone in their own experience.
It is about the many moments that shape us but are rarely spoken about — they feel too “messy”, too personal, too unfinished, or too hard to articulate.
It creates a space where these stories can exist, be shared, and can inspire connection — honestly, safely, and without judgement.
Sometimes the things we whisper to ourselves are the very things other women most need to hear.
Share your truth…
Interested in participating? Where do you feel restless or stuck? Maybe life threw you a curveball? Maybe you feel like something is missing? What would you say out loud if you felt entirely safe?
Anything goes, as long as it’s your truth.
Share a single truth or a short story.
There is no judgement. This is a collective conversation — you are not alone.
This is anonymous. You can use your first name only or make one up!
Make it as creative or as simple as you want. Handwritten, drawings, typed…
Your submission may appear (anonymously), alongside other women’s truths and stores in an upcoming publication. If you’d prefer it not be included, please include that with your submission.
