Hey Gorgeous,

I have been thinking about what I could say to you if you ever landed here. What would I want you to know about me, my life, my accomplishments or my goals. I have been thinking about what you would need to know if you were going to be in this space of empowerment with me. And then I realized something. It has nothing to do with me and EVERYTHING to do with you. This space, what I want for us as a community of women, of Big Tough Girls. I want to make this a space a place that serves you, lifts you, supports you in whatever you are dealing with.

If we are celebrating, I will throw the confetti. If we are broken, I will be the shoulder. If we are healing, I will be the soft space to land.

Whatever you need, as a fellow Big Tough Girl, I am here to lift. No matter your journey, no matter what you believe, no matter your damage…

I SEE YOU AND I LOVE YOU.

I pray that through my journey, through our service efforts and our programs that you will find a home here.

I pray you will come visit often and know that you are always welcome at my table.

But more seriously here is what I am doing:

Ashley Mitchell, owner of Big Tough Girl and Knee to Knee, set out to seek increased care, understanding, and resources for birth mothers.  For almost 15 years, Ashley has been one of the most consistent and sought after birth mother voices in the nation.  Well known for her vulnerability and transparency in adoption, her story has touched the hearts of countless members of the adoption community and beyond.

My journey started long before my adoption story, and has continued and will for life. I have so much to share, to talk about, to learn. And I know, like you, that when you find yourself faced with a choice…it will always have consequence, and it is my pray that we can help you live through your choices…no matter what they are. BECAUSE YOU WILL NEED THE SUPPORT.
