I have the privilege and honor of supporting women through their mental health challenges and reproductive journeys. After spending thousands of hours working with this population, I cannot help but come back to one statement I hear over and over: "I just wish I knew someone who felt, experienced, or thought this too…"

Our first project, #ihavetoo, will directly address this need—a safe space where women can share and read authentic stories of pregnancy, birth, infertility, postpartum, and loss.

By sharing vulnerable experiences and contributing to our digital library, you not only offer others the invaluable gift of knowing they are not alone, you also foster connection with a community that has spent too long in silence.

My hope is that we will continue to empower, inspire, and offer solace to one another through our shared strength, vulnerability, and resilience. I invite you to join us in this transformative movement.
