Why I Created This

My name is Rae Wilder. I started Brave Women Rising because too many mothers are left picking through bullshit advice, judgment, and silence while trying to survive abuse and deal with child services. You deserve clear, practical guidance—not more confusion or sugar-coating. This is your space to get the tools, the clarity, and the fierce support you need to protect your kids and rebuild on your terms.
