You’ve been the strong one for so long — the listener, the rock, the “I’m fine” friend. Here, you don’t have to explain yourself. You don’t have to hold it together. You just get to breathe, reflect, and finally feel seen.
I’m Clara Monroe, a writer who’s been through the fire and found her way back through words. I write for the women who are always the strong one — because I’ve been her too. My writing isn’t here to tell you how to heal. It’s here to remind you that you’re allowed to feel (and that you're not alone).
A collection of 28 poetic letters paired with prompts to help you: Release what you’ve been holding quietly. Put words to feelings you’ve never been able to say out loud. Create a gentle space for reflection and healing — without pressure to “fix” anything. This isn’t therapy. It isn’t advice. It’s a book that sits with you like a friend who gets it.
Why This Matters
Because being the "strong one" can feel lonely.
Because sometimes you need words that don't sound like toxic positivity or clinical advice.
Because you deserve a place to soften.
This space is for women who look like they've got it together - but who are quietly overwhelmed, deeply introspective, and craving release.
This is your space to exhale. To let your guard down. To finally have words for what you've been carrying.
