Life-Changing Fun for Women
Dear Beloved Soul, It’s hard to lift yourself off of the ground and get back to it…..it just is. Whether something was taken from you, or whether you quit or gave up, or whether time just passed by until you lost track…it’s hard to get back to it. There are a million reasons why it’s […]
Dear Seeking Soul, Peace is good. Peace is so so good. It is worth it to travel whatever lengths you need to go to feel peace. Often peace is right in front of us if we will just silence everything else out. But sometimes we have to make really tough choices or go to great […]
Dear Longing Girl, What would a leap of faith look like? That thing that’s been lingering on your mind, burning in your heart…..that scary beautiful thing that you can’t get out of your whole soul because it wants to be heard and acted upon……..guess what lovely? It’s not going to go away. It’s not going […]
You know…the world is sometimes not a very friendly place. and…when you’re needing some friendship more than just about anything…some kindness…it can be really hard to want to even go out of the house. Let alone into a bright & bustling space full of strangers. It’s hard to show up where the strangers are. They […]

Dear Determined Soul, When you didn’t quite get there…begin again. When you aced it and it was amazing….begin again. When you feel lost and not sure where to head to next….begin again. Every day, every minute…begin again. You get as many chances as it takes…………just begin…..and begin again… YOU are loved. xoxo
This is for everyone who is feeling nervous to send your kids back to school….or out into the world each day. Kids and teens are needing some real community…some tools for figuring life out and hearing their own heart. Tools for staying true and resilient in a world that can be really hard. Tools for […]
Dear Amazing Girl, You are a little bit scared, aren’t you, friend? It’s okay to admit it. It’s even okay if you are absolutely terrified. It’s okay if you are mad. It’s okay if you are frustrated. It’s all okay. Life isn’t easy….but you are made for it. You are so far beyond what is […]

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
