If you've landed on this page, here's what I know about you...
You want to live a joy-filled, purposeful life + you deeply desire to come fully alive in your own shoes.
But the truth is…that’s not easy is it sister? Do you ever feel like you’re weighted down with fear? Fear of stepping out as you?
Hey-o + Welcome, friend!
EVERY ITEM HAS A BIGGER PURPOSE, JUST LIKE YOU
I have learned pretty much all that I know about fighting for a woman’s worth from the artisans with which we partner. Here’s why: they are courageously living out the counter narrative in their life.
here's the deal:
I’m the Founder + CEO of The Flourish Market, a boutique in Downtown Raleigh, NC + an online shop.
Our business mission is to elevate the worth of women - all women! Our shop is a bit unique in that all of the products we sell are made by and/or support women who have overcome.
We have clothing made by sex trafficking survivors in Nepal, necklaces made in Nashville by women who have escaped abusive marriages, and leather bags made by once marginalized HIV positive women in Ethiopia, to name a few.
...and it's nice to meet you. You're in good company here, friend!
Hi, i'm em!
Their country has told them being born a girl makes them less than. They claim a counter narrative that says “Being born a girl makes me strong + more than capable.”
Their ex-husbands have told them they’re just a worthless piece of trash. They claim a counter narrative that says “I’m worthy of real love.”
Their sex traffickers have told them they’re only safe under them as their oppressor. They dare to say “I am free + I flourish without you.”
They dare to say...
a new narrative

While the negative narratives we tell ourselves are more subtle than the ones I’ve just described, they are still oh so powerful over our lives.
They have a stronghold on us. And when we’re under their power, we have muted joy. And we find ourselves not living the type of courageous lives we deeply desire to live.
So together, let’s write a new story. Let’s come up with our counter narrative — our clap back, if you will — to these untrue narratives.
What will you dare to say?
your counter narrative
