Beautiful Disaster: Finding Power in the Storm

March 31, 2023

Perfect lives are boring.

The most interesting people I know aren’t the ones with spotless life trajectories and perfectly organized sock drawers. They’re the ones who’ve weathered storms, taken some hits, maybe gotten a little sideways along the way- and somehow emerged stronger, wiser, and more compassionate because of it.

That’s this collection.

Women are out here trying to do ALL things for ALL people ALL the time- running around like a whirling dervish, juggling everything and everyone, stretched thin in ways most people never see. It’s not always pretty. Sometimes it’s genuinely disastrous. I’ve had my share- relationships that imploded, dreams that fell apart, plans that went completely sideways. For too long, I tried to hide the mess.

But somewhere along the way, I started to see the beauty in the broken places. The resilience that only shows up after a fall. The wisdom that comes exclusively through mistakes. The compassion that grows from your own wounds.

That’s why the tornado fits. That’s exactly what it is.

I want to be clear about something though- I am NOT celebrating running yourself into the ground. That’s not healthy, and that’s not the point. (The Balance collection exists for a reason, and those two designs together say something important when you put them side by side.)

What I AM celebrating is you. The woman who keeps showing up anyway- in all your wonderful, chaotic, whirling-dervish glory.

You are seen. You are valued. And you are loved- exactly as you are, tornado and all.
