Her fire within 2027
Breaking Free:
Rewrite the Story You Were Given
March 8 | The Nines, Portland, OR
Have you ever looked at your life and thought, “This is not the life I was supposed to have”?
Maybe you were told who you should be. What success should look like. What a woman like you could or could not do. And somehow, you broke free from that story and wrote your own.
Her Fire Within is a movement celebrating women who dare to rewrite the stories they were given.
We celebrate courageous women who challenge societal expectations, break barriers, choose unconventional paths, and define success and life on their own terms.
Through raw and real storytelling, meaningful conversations, and shared experiences, we create spaces where women can tell the stories behind who they have become. Not just the accomplishments people see, but the struggles, choices, failures, turning points, and courage it took to get there.
Because when one woman shares her story honestly, another woman may recognize herself in it. And sometimes, that gives her permission to share hers. Together, those stories become a movement, creating a powerful ripple effect that inspires more women to break free, own their voices, and redefine what is possible for themselves and for the women who come after them.
And sometimes, that's all it takes to ignite something within.
the vision
Her Fire Within is a stage for bold and fearless women to share the raw and real stories behind the barriers they broke, the expectations they defied, and the lives they chose to create for themselves.
Because I believe when one woman shares her story, it gives another woman permission to share hers. And that is how we create a movement.
I envision Her Fire Within becoming a global platform for women's stories. And I can’t do it alone. We are currently welcoming sponsors and community partners who believe in empowering women and want to help us grow this movement.
From Portland to cities across the country and eventually around the world, my vision is to create spaces where women can share their stories and where people leave questioning the stories they've been carrying about who they are and who they're supposed to be.
Not everyone who attends Her Fire Within has to be a woman.
Our speakers are women. Our movement is for everyone who believes women deserve to be seen, heard, celebrated, and empowered.
