Welcome, Charlotte!

Last year was an extraordinary year for many reasons, but one moment stands out above all: the birth of my granddaughter, Charlotte. Having her in the world inspires me in new ways to continue working for a future where young women feel empowered to embrace their potential without hesitation.
I want Charlotte to grow up in a culture where women aren’t taught to be people pleasers, where they’re unafraid to take risks, and where they don’t worry so much about being wrong. I hope she grows up with a confidence that feels natural and unshakable—a belief that she can do whatever she dreams of doing.
I believe one of the ways we create this culture is by sharing our stories—honest, vulnerable, and bold. When women write about their successes, failures, fears, and strengths, they normalize the process of trying, failing, and trying again. They show that fear is universal, but courage is taking action despite it. These stories don’t just inspire; they guide and strengthen the women who come next.
I hope Bold Story Press can continue to be a space where these stories are shared and celebrated, paving the way for a world where young women like Charlotte can thrive without limits.
If you have a story to tell, I'd love to hear it. Contact me at emily@boldstorypress.com
