Built by survivors. Powered by community.
The Origin Story
Annie and Mary Ellen didn't meet at a conference or a support group. They met at 30,000 feet — two strangers seated side by side on a cross-country flight who discovered, through an honest conversation, that they had walked nearly identical paths through toxic and abusive relationships.
Both had survived long-term coercive relationships. Both had done so largely alone, without the peer support or guidance they so desperately needed. And both carried the same burning question: What if someone had been there for us?
"Healing does not happen in isolation; it happens in a community."
— Annie Roth, Co-FounderThat question became Find Your Voice Now — a community built so no one would ever have to navigate those dark roads alone again.
