The Origin Story

Two strangers on a plane. One transformative conversation.

Annie and Mary Ellen didn't meet at a conference or a support group. They met at 30,000 feet โ€” 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."

โ€” Annie Roth, Co-Founder

That question became Find Your Voice Now โ€” a community built so no one would ever have to navigate those dark roads alone again.

Who We Are

A community built on empathy, not judgment.

Find Your Voice Now is a 501(c)3 organization created by survivors โ€” a safe space where anyone navigating coercive, confusing, or unhealthy relationships can find clarity, peer support, and the tools to build a healthier life.

We accept everyone regardless of differences or beliefs, provide equal resources to all, and ensure every person is welcome and free to engage without judgment. Whether your struggle is personal or professional, we are here.

Since our founding in 2022, thousands have found non-clinical peer support to help craft healthy strategies to navigate all forms of unhealthy or abusive relationships.
