Why I Started Kin + Fellow: A Faith-Based Community for Women

Over the past year, I’ve felt a quiet stirring in my heart. Not a loud, lightning-bolt moment—but a slow build. A longing. A desire to create space for something more than what a scroll or a caption could hold.

Something sacred.
Something chosen.
Something real.

In the wake of recent events and the weight that so many of us are quietly carrying, I’ve been asking God again and again, “How do You want to use me?”
And His answer, though simple, has felt undeniable: create space.

So today, I’m finally opening the doors to a new kind of community—one that’s been on my heart for a long time.
It’s called Kin + Fellow, and it’s for the woman who is tired of surface-level conversations… and ready to grow.

A Place for Real Connection

I started Kin + Fellow because I believe women are hungry for truth—but also for belonging. For a safe place to ask questions, to stretch and wrestle with Scripture, to share their prayer requests without fear of judgment.

This isn’t a group that you just land in because you happened to follow me on Instagram. It’s something you choose. Something you say yes to.

And that’s what makes it beautiful.

What You’ll Find Inside

Inside Kin + Fellow, you’ll find:

  • 🕊️ Honest, soul-rooted conversation

  • 🙏 A space to share prayer requests + encouragement

  • 📖 Weekly Bible reflections + tools to study on your own

  • 🌱 Gentle prompts to stretch your faith

  • 💬 A community of women choosing growth over comfort

Whether you’re just opening your Bible for the first time in years or you’ve been walking with the Lord for decades—this space is for you.

Why It’s Subscription-Based

The $1/month subscription is less about cost, and more about commitment.
I wanted Kin + Fellow to be a space that feels intentional—where everyone wants to be there, and shows up with a heart to grow.
It also helps support the time, prayer, and resources I’ll be pouring into it every week.

You’re Invited

If you’ve been longing for deeper conversation, a more grounded faith, and a community of women walking toward truth—Kin + Fellow might be exactly what you’ve been praying for.
