Self-care isn’t selfish—it’s survival
And the truth is, you deserve to thrive.
Maybe you've heard this one before:
After surviving divorce, breast cancer, and menopause in her 40s, Renee, co-founder of Here I Am, learned the hard way: self-care isn’t a luxury. It’s how we rewrite the rules of a world that expects us to sacrifice our whole lives for others without ever taking time to care for ourselves.
Creating space for women to show up for themselves.
In my mid-40s, I faced what I call the "trifecta of midlife": divorce, breast cancer, and menopause—three clubs no one ever wants to join. It was a time that tested my strength, resilience, and sense of self. But through it all, I learned a powerful lesson: we can either live by our own standards or allow others to dictate the rules.
Our mission is simple yet profound: to help women reclaim their power, joy, and sense of self through self-love and well-being. We believe in the transformative power of self-care—not as a luxury but as a necessity.
Your life, your body, your choice. We stand with you, every step of the way.

Self-Care as Resistance: Uplift Yourself, Uplift All Women
At Here I Am, self-care is a radical act. In a world where women are expected to pour into everyone but themselves, choosing your well-being disrupts a system built on your exhaustion.
The truth? Women launch half of all businesses but receive just 2% of venture capital. We’re told to “lean in,” yet face barriers—from unequal pay to shouldering unpaid caregiving labor.
That's why we partner exclusively with women-owned small businesses working hard to resist the status quo and thrive.
