Welcome. I am so glad you found your way here.

My name is Miriam, and I am from Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Since 2012 I have been passionate about one thing — giving real women a platform to share their stories. What started as a love for listening to women’s stories in health and sports has quietly grown into the most meaningful work of my life.

Because somewhere along the way I realised how many of us walk our journeys without feeling truly seen. Maybe you are grieving your baby you never got to bring home. Maybe you are on your fourth IVF cycle. Maybe you are still waiting with hope in your heart. Maybe you finally held your baby after years of trying. Maybe you are a new mom drowning in feelings you are too afraid to say out loud, quietly fighting your way through postpartum while the world expects you to be glowing. Maybe you are navigating your mental health one hard day at a time. Or maybe you simply want to share how beautiful and messy and wonderful your life is. You deserve to be heard. And this space exists for exactly that.

Here you will find real, personal stories from women around the world.

This space exists because of you.

I am currently gathering 100 stories from 100 women around the world for a book — stories that deserve to be held in full, not just in fragments. And while those pages are being written, this platform keeps its doors open. If you want to share your story, I would be truly honored to hear it. Your story matters and so do you — whenever you feel ready, I am here.

Lots of love, Miriam
