Born to Rise

How 22 extraordinary women rewrote their stories, claimed their power, and followed their dreams

UNTIL VERY RECENTLY, HISTORY WAS WRITTEN ALMOST ENTIRELY ABOUT, BY, AND FOR, MEN.

The stories we know as "history" are male stories, from a male perspective. They center around war, conquest, politics, leadership, and the bold, fierce men whose deeds reverberate across the ages (for better or worse). These are valuable, but they're not the only stories that should be told.

Women's stories are the stories of the heart-of love, transformation, community, and the exploration of inner realms. Our "HERstory" isn't so much about what we did, but how we felt. It's the story of what it means to come home to ourselves.

WOMEN DON'T CONQUER; WE GATHER.

In the epic tradition of Chicken Soup for the Soul® and other great anthologies, this collection of moving and illuminating stories showcases life moments both tender and profound.

Be The Beacon!

A Ladies' Power Lunch Transformation Anthology

When you hear a phrase like “Shine your light!” What do you think of?

Does it inspire you to put something good into the world, to lead, or to love outwardly? Or does it stir feelings like frustration, disappointment or regret - you know you have a light, but for whatever reason it’s just so hard to shine these days.

In Be the Beacon, 19 female leaders come together to create a roadmap for you to find and shine that light that is so uniquely yours, and that the world so desperately needs. They’ll share their stories of struggle, growth, and triumph. In addition, they’ll lay out the steps they use to find their light and let it shine oh so bright.
