When I started what would later become the Difficult Women Collective, I didn’t really know I was starting anything at all. I just invited a few of my girlfriends over for dinner, set up a camera, and asked them to talk with me. There was no clear plan, no polished concept, just women I love, sitting around a table, being honest.
To my surprise (but not really), they all said yes without hesitation, even if they didn’t fully understand what I was trying to do yet. That night, something clicked. Looking back, I realize how much of this journey has been about the support of other women. Every step, every idea, every moment I doubted myself, I found strength in my girlfriends- in their advice, their presence, their unwavering belief in this project. What began as a simple dinner turned into a spark for a community I didn’t even know I was craving.
The name Difficult Women Collective came to me like an insight: sharp, bold, and true. And almost effortlessly, the project officially launched on International Women’s Day. I couldn’t have scripted it better if I tried.
My hope is that this grows into a space where women everywhere can feel a little less alone. Because the more we share, the more we see that our struggles, joys, and questions are not just ours, they’re universal. This is for all of us.
