Valid As You Are Magazine

Valid As You Are Magazine is a women-centered creative and community group for writers, storytellers, resource gatherers, and emotionally aware women who want to help connect other women with support, healing, and local resources.

This group is for women who believe in softness, truth-telling, creativity, and community care. The vibe is emotional, reflective, a little witchy, and deeply rooted in the belief that women deserve to feel safe, supported, and valid exactly where they are.

The goal of this group is to build a local network of like-minded women who can help create and contribute to Valid As You Are Magazine, a publication focused on emotional healing, personal stories, women’s resources, and community support. I am especially looking for writers, creatives, advocates, and women who care about helping others find real-life resources such as local food banks, clothing closets, shelters, support groups, affordable services, and safe spaces.

This group is also for women who have left, are trying to leave, or are healing after controlling, emotionally abusive, narcissistic, or toxic relationships. While this is not a crisis service, legal service, or therapy group, it is a space where women can connect, share resources, write, create, and remind each other that they are not alone.

Events may include writing circles, resource-gathering meetups, magazine planning sessions, women’s support discussions, journaling nights, storytelling workshops, and community care projects.

Valid As You Are is built on one core belief: you are not too late, too broken, too much, or too far gone. You are valid as you are — and as you are becoming.
