Life-Changing Fun for Women
Dear Miraculous Girl, We all have a beautiful, amazing and happy life that is meant for us, but we must do our part each day. We just have to. When everything seems to go sideways and we feel like we have nothing left to cling to, it is our responsibility, and it’s in our power, […]
Dear Insightful Soul, When you feel stuck in situations or relationships that feel all wrong, look for what is right. When you are faced with a difficult human being, one of the most beautiful and light-filled things you can do is to go to the ends of the earth to look for what is beautiful […]
If you were able to attend a Brave Girl Camp or have been to any other Brave Living retreats and events, this is a warm and familiar image: Music has always run through the veins of Brave Girls Club. From the very first Brave Girl Camp almost 10 years ago, music played a central role […]
Dearest friends, We have a beautiful announcement to make… so beautiful! We already made this announcement live and had a great party to celebrate last week at Symposium so we wanted to make sure that everyone else knows about this wonderful news too. We hope we can express it with as much excitement and gratitude […]
Dear Having-a-Bad-Day Soul, Bad days seem to be part of the gig. Sometimes everything that can go wrong does go wrong. Sometimes hormones and feelings are bigger and more real than any of us want to admit. Sometimes people disappoint us and sometimes we disappoint ourselves. Bad days can be hard to turn around, but […]
Dear Desiring Soul, It is such an enormous gift that we get to choose where we spend our time, who we spend it with and what we spend our time doing. Even if we feel trapped in certain circumstances, we have choices within those circumstances. We are not powerless. Sometimes we think it is the […]
Dear Insightful Soul, You already know the answers to the questions that are eating away at you…you just have to trust yourself enough to really listen and be brave with your decisions. That doesn’t mean it’s always the easiest way to go…but the easiest path never was the most fruitful path….and you are one of […]
Dear Wonderful Soul, No matter how it looks from the outside, no one has it all together. It may look sometimes like others have the perfect life, or all of the answers, and that everything comes easily to them. The fact is, every human being has good days and bad days. We have struggles. We […]
Dear Determined Soul, Wow is it ever a surprise when we start to dive into a mess that has been growing for a very long time. As we start to pull things out to sort them…we … [Read More...]
We started Brave Girls Club over six years ago, at a time when all we had was a bunch of wild ideas, a king-sized dream, and an excitement to get to work. We wrote a mission statement that read:
"We are on a wild and crazy mission to find all of the brave women of the world...to help them find each other...then to change the world with good news, good ideas, good people, and good times. "
A little background....Melody was just coming out the other side of several years of heartbreak and loss, the most devastating being the traumatic brain injury suffered by her husband, Marq. She had developed a tremendous compassion for all those who are living with pain and loss and determined to spend the rest of her life helping them and teaching the things she had learned from her own experiences.
Our vision quickly spread to our families (we are sisters), and then to our friends, and girl by girl it has spread by word of mouth literally all over the world. We've been joined by Brave Girls as far away from our little Idaho town as Australia, Africa, Europe, South America and Asia. We have found that no matter where we are from, no matter our backgrounds or ages, we are all so much more alike than we are different. We all want to live joyful, peaceful and brave lives.
We hope you will join us! There's a place for you here.
love,
melody ross and kathy wilkins
