•••but what if we brought the uncomfy conversation of abuse to the 🅗🅔🅐🅡🅣 of our community?

What if we said the hard things & shared the scars of our stories, in honor of not only the hell we’ve walked through but if we could change the mind on just one.

just one woman.

•who came tonight & heard stories that sounded a hell of a lot like hers.

•who came tonight & saw that life after abuse can be healthy & that safe (and strong) men actually exist.

•who came tonight and saw that the women who have always appeared to have it all together, endured a pain no one should ever face.

what if just one woman decided she was worthy of love & safety (especially in her own home)

while everything about speaking tonight terrifies me, we will continue to do the hard things in hopes that we can reach even just one.

I hope you’ll consider joining us tonight.

Wear your sweatpants, come late,

but following the film tonight- 3 of the strongest women I’m lucky enough to call friends will be joining me for an incredible time of reflection and truth ♥️

She’s safe here. And you are too.

7pm Fargo Theatre

Your ticket is covered if cost is the holdback ♥️

We forgot to take a photo of the whole squad but we had an amazing morning sharing the mission of our work with the Shanley High School PaY Committee!!

We are grateful for their commitment to creating safe spaces & giving back to others in our community!

Our sweet gal pals at @adaesalon made our (month!) last week through their generosity!

They donated boxes FULL of high end hair products & accessories to surprise our clients!

An abusive relationship often steals so much from us, from our confidence to even believing we deserve self-care (actually.)

These products serve as a reminder that they are 🅦🅞🅡🅣🅗🅨 of the best too!

Thank you to Anna & the entire ADAE Salon Team, who are truly beautiful inside & out!

We often make giving back to others & doing good look so very complicated don’t we?

Our sweet friend Amber & the entire staff at PubWest made making a BIG impact fun & fast with their #StocktheShop Giving Tree!

Do you know what the feud between Blake Lively & Justin Baldoni is actually about (in my opinion)? (<—-so I don’t myself get sued too, i suppose)

Money•Power•Status•and Future Success.

Do you know what we could instead be focusing on?

An actual conversation about 🅓🅞🅜🅔🅢🅣🅘🅒 🅥🅘🅞🅛🅔🅝🅒🅔.

But instead, as a society we are choosing:
•To try and find the good guy and the bad guy
•To pin “#metoo” against all other possibilities
•To crave and obsess over every single detail of the inner workings of a relationship between 2 successful people with a boundless access to litigators, security guards, (and publicists)
•To let tik tok “newscasters” comb through court filings & give us their non professional opinions.
•To pick sides, to determine the hero’s and villains (in humans who think 0% about us.)

It Ends with Us is based loosely on Colleen Hoovers childhood with an abusive father and the never ending question her mother faced of if she made the right choice.

Her mother cried through the entire screening & was reassured she made the right choice for Colleen & her sister in leaving.

But what we’re focused on?
•Who wore florals, who hired a crisis team, and who really “cared” about domestic violence the most. (<—-that is actually a thing)

We took an international opportunity to have a conversation about: how sometimes abusers are likeable, charming, successful, and those who are abused are beautiful, confident, and kind•••

and we decided that it made us all a little too “uncomfy” to face and dove head first into the stuff that doesn’t matter at all.

It can’t end with us friends, unless we stop intentionally distracting ourselves about the real topic at hand.

Don’t consume Domestic Violence as if it’s something for your happy hour discussion or a topic to distract you from your own life.

Challenge the conversation. Ask the hard questions, and lean into your own bias & comfort level if someone you loved may be experiencing it.

That’s when it ends with us.

Closing out the year celebrating one of our favorite girls 🤍

Mandy Haug, FNP-C, Medical Director & Co-Owner at The Vanity Bar, Mandy embodies every ounce of the #SheBelongs framework and has held such an important space for us since 🅓🅐🅨 🅞🅝🅔!

Over a quick 15 minute appointment, I briefly whispered to Mandy what I was up to since leaving the corporate world. In that moment we realized a shared life experience, we were both 🅢🅤🅡🅥🅘🅥🅞🅡🅢 of the unimaginable.

Mandy has a heart for our SWS community & a passion for creating safe spaces & expanding education and building awareness against Domestic Violence.

•SWS Brochures have been front & center in the Vanity Bar waiting area, because what if a woman waiting for their appointment might not realize there is an army of survivors ready to help her reach safety?

•She coordinated multiple fundraisers on behalf of SWS, helping us to continue to provide essential services.

•She’s donated facials to support clients who were navigating the unimaginable. Helping them feel seen, loved, and provided a brief break from the cruel reality they were navigating.

•Along with the Vanity Bar team, she created the most magical self-care kits. We were able to gift to our Mama’s, reminding them that they were seen (too!) this Christmas.
•••(I seriously wish I could describe the ooh’s and ahh’s while they opened them up together!)

I could go on for pages to describe what Mandy has done for our survivors & families or even myself personally through her encouragement.

Her generosity and passion to help is evident in all that she does and comes from a place of honor & true authenticity. We know that she’s a Styled with Strength sister that’s going to be with us forever & we couldn’t be more grateful.

#SheBelongs because of incredible, successful, & authentic women like Mandy standing in 🅢🅣🅡🅔🅝🅖🅣🅗 alongside her.

We couldn’t think of a better way to start this Monday morning than introducing you to one of our #SheBelongs Super-Hero’s.

A 🅢🅤🅡🅥🅘🅥🅞🅡 herself, when Ariel entered into the Shop for the very first meeting, she came in with confidence, commitment, and a clear mission:

•To use her professional gifts to change the lives of the women in the Styled with Strength Community

Since that meeting she’s represented SWS Clients in lease negotiations, Real Estate Sales, New Home BUILDS! (<—-so amazing!)

She’s instilled confidence in our community & has been a fierce advocate & voice for them in negotiations.

She’s rallied her squad to help prepare a home for listing, she’s at family dinner, and she’s connected women in our community with our services & loved them along the way.

While our work seems complicated, it’s actually quite simple. Use your gifts, your story, your h•e•a•r•t for others, making each survivor stand a little more confidently on her own 🤍

Even after a Mom leaves an abusive partner, there are continued patterns of control and hard nudges that she “should have just stayed”

Financial abuse is one of the most common dynamics we battle at Styled with Strength.
•Emptied bank accounts, hidden forms of income, and missed Child Support payments, from some of our communities “most successful men”

Christmas at Mom’s shouldn’t feel different because she chose safety, and so we stand alongside her: like top secret Santa’s helpers.

Each SWS Child receives 4 gifts:
•Something You Want
•Something You Wear
•Something You Need
•Something You Read

We’ve got the lists (and the links 😂) because nobody knows what you want more for Christmas than your mom. 🤶

She wraps them, she gets to see their joy Christmas Morning, and most of all:

She’s Safe Here this Christmas.

Send us an email at info@styledwithstrength.org if you’d like to sponsor a kiddo this Christmas! 🎄 ♥️

•Creating a custom cocktail for our grand opening weekend 🍹

The crew at @topshelftavernwf simply the best!

Maybe a #ShesSafeHere Sangria on tap soon?
But definitely a best friend secret handshake.

Survivors know the feeling••

The walking on eggshells & the pit in our stomach anytime our abuser is around those we love, or even their own loved ones.

You know it’s a ticking time bomb,
You know your cousin just might be passive aggressive,
You know that he might think your Dad was “rude”
and you also know, that it’s going to be your fault.

While families are complicated and messy at best, if you are sitting down at a table for Thanksgiving with your spouse or boyfriend and not in sheer fear of managing everyone’s behavior to control his…

You truly have so much to be grateful for 🤍

When developing the #shebelongs framework, little did we know the impact it would have on our ability to provide care for women & families in Fargo-Moorhead.

Nikki Terras at Modern Hair Studio embodies this heart for others by the boat-load and brings it to life every week.

Since launching Styled with Strength Nikki has:

•Donated high-end beauty supplies to our beauty drive. (See those cutie pies?!)
•Purchased regularly from Shop SWS (someone told me her holiday give-away was magic ✨)
•Hosted 2 full days of back-to-school hair cuts for SWS kiddos, making them feel seen, loved, and confident to start the next year! (So.many.haircuts!)

but most of all? •••

•Nikki dedicates one hour (every.single.week!) to meet the SWS team at the salon & provides a hair wash & blow out to a little lady that has grown to become family to both Nikki’s and ours ♥️

We make loving others complicated don’t we?

We are SO grateful to Nikki for being with us on this wild ride from day one and for stepping in and loving our littles (and grownup’s!) with authenticity, joy, and sunshine ☀️ everyday!

My TikTok feed has been filled with Zach Bryan and Brianna ChickenFry break up news the past few weeks•••

Despite minimal investment or passion regarding either individual previously;

there’s been a reoccurring statement that I keep coming back to when it comes to someone standing in their truth and disclosing someone’s abusive actions.

The truth is 🅘🅝🅒🅞🅝🅥🅔🅝🅘🅔🅝🅣.

•An inconvenient truth makes you say: “There’s two sides to every story.”
•An inconvenient truth makes you say: “It’s weird that she’s talking about it on a podcast.”
•An inconvenient truth makes you say: “I think he’s a puke, but I just like his music.”
•An inconvenient truth makes you say: “I mean I guess their relationship is none of my business anyways.”
•An inconvenient truth makes you try to find a reason for the harmful behavior towards a loved one. Whether it be previous military service, the loss of a loved one, or a trauma that went unrecognized.

But in the end:
•An individual turned down 12 million dollars to be able to speak her truth regarding a relationship
•An individual has a history of prior abuse and non disclosure agreements with previous partners (who were not able to decline a “generous” offer)

and while the truth may be inconvenient because his love songs are so sad and so damn catchy for our Instagram stories

The truth remains••• 🅣🅗🅔 🅣🅡🅤🅣🅗.

I hope that what we “do” never makes sense.

I hope that seeking help feels a lot more like meeting a girlfriend for a happy hour than filling out your name on an intake form.

I hope that when you think of domestic violence; you think of your sister, your next door neighbor, or your college room-mate, or hell; the girl you think is the coolest on tik tok.

We are shaking things up Fargo, and we hope that you’re ready for a new perspective.

Cheers to never making sense friends.

since beginning outreach services in August 2023

➑➊
women have connected with the Styled with Strength to seek resources, survivor advocacy, identify potential abusive behaviors, and to begin to heal after leaving an abusive partner.

they are stay at home moms, business owners, social workers, doctors, and leaders within our community. they are those you’d least expect.

their light shines bright and we will continue to fight like hell to make them feel like there’s a place for them.

Until they’re all safe here Fargo.

we’ve got baggage, but we’re moving in 🤍

The most dangerous threat to women within Fargo/Moorhead, is truly abusers of influence: those of power, and of a “perceived positive reputation” within our community.

What makes us different as an organization; is that we recognize that the most deceptive and skilled abusers, often target those that appear the most confident, the hardest to “catch” per se.

Which is where we’ll be: at the fun events, at the fanciest networking parties, and right at the “shop” in West Fargo.

You deserve to feel safe.

No matter how “kind” the outside world thinks they may be, no matter the financial control they may have, no matter the portrait of “crazy ex girlfriend” they’ve attempted to paint you as.

We see them.
But most importantly, we see you.
And we hope you know how amazing you are.

No matter how “kind” the outside world thinks they may be, no matter the financial control they may have, no matter the portrait of “crazy ex girlfriend” they’ve attempted to paint you as.

We see them.
But most importantly, we see you.
And we hope you know how amazing you are.

A common misconception about survivors of Domestic Violence and organizations that work to support families affected, is that we view all men in the same light.

Which truly couldn’t be further from the truth.

Curious to what is the biggest way to create a safer community is?

To have strong, healthy, and above all 🅢🅔🅒🅤🅡🅔 men at all levels of an environment.

When abusers realize they are actually surrounded by people who protect women & kids at all costs, their behavior shifts and they just might realize they’ve gotten it wrong.

Safe & Healthy Dads are a vital role within our volunteer community and we look forward to providing more opportunities for you to get involved!

While we have so, so, many emotions entering into this upcoming week; the Styled with Strength community is committed to continuing to say the hard truth. No matter what.

Domestic Violence is happening in every neighborhood within Fargo/Moorhead, and knows no income restriction, is likely happening to a woman at the height of her career, and to the person that always seems the happiest, or is at the hands of the guy “that seems so nice.”

Be the friend that listens, that holds sacred space when someone discloses something that sounds like a dysfunctional relationship or a “toxic” pairing at best, as it 💯 is likely far more.

Be the person that pauses, when the topic of the trial that comes up at the breakroom and choose to create a safe space for your sister who might be fearful she could be experiencing something similar.

You can help us change future endings.
You can help to be the friend that honors.
You can be the boss that asks more questions.

Sonja should have been safe here, and we are hopeful that you’ll join us in this mission to ensure anyone that may be experiencing similar, knows there’s a safe place to go.

Shop hours are 11am-6pm tomorrow or email us: info@styledwithstrength.org to set up a time to grab coffee.

There is a whole community of fierce warriors ready to come alongside you and there’s always a seat at our table.
