WE Are Here For All Of Your Dreams
I can’t believe that there was a time that I allowed other peoples opinions to have more weight than my own.
Hi, I am Portia and I am a recovering people pleaser and worrier of what people thought of me.
Honestly, I can’t even remember when the switch happened from caring waaay too much to not caring at all.
Maybe it was the time when I was completely burnt out because other peoples happiness matter more than my own.
Or maybe it was when I lost a piece of myself during a great loss in my life.
Or maybe it was when I realized they are many dream squashers just looking for a dream to smush.
All I can say, I am so happy that I did. Life just seems so much simpler now.
Now don’t get me wrong, I have bad days and those thoughts come creeping in “Maybe they were right, this doesn’t make sense.” or “I will just do it this one time for them, what could go wrong?”
But I always come back to me. Remind myself, who am I doing this for, ME. Who’s the only persons opinion that matters, MINE.
I remember when I had this grand idea of The We Experience and before I had all my ducks in a row, I started to share this idea with people and they were like “I don’t get it.” “What is the purpose of this?” “I don’t know if anyone is going to buy into this.” And so on and so on.
It was soul crushing. I had this big dream, a vision and everyone around me just didn’t see it. But who is laughing now?!
This vision is bigger than me, I see that now and I know I don’t need to have all the answers today. The purpose of The WE is to spark conversation, to allow yourself to FEEL what you need to feel and to be surround by a community of women looking to create change within themselves.
We are here for the long haul whether they get it or not!
Never stop chasing your dreams. Being a dreamer is such a gift, you can see the world in a way others can’t. In a way that creates positive change all around you. I am here for all of your dreams and maybe one day, I can help you chase them too!

The WE blog is a collection of stories and journal entries from women sharing moments in their life that left them breathless. We believe in celebrating all moments, whether they are the happiest moments of your life, moments that left you feeling lost or moments where you healed yourself again and again. We are here for all of it. No moment is too small. No moment isn’t worth celebrating. This is a safe space to share. A place where you can be yourself. A place to heal.
Here's what women are saying after writing their story:
“So surreal! I am so glad I could use this place to heal. It is perfect, it is supportive, it is beautiful. Thank you for this gift. I will cherish this opportunity forever.”
“It was such an interesting experience to write it. The process of writing it, is the moment that took my breath away.”
