Rising Together: The Story Behind Root to Rise

Recently, I had the joy of joining my dear friends and co-creators, Tracy from Truthfully, Tracy and Jaime “JJ” Weisberg, on her podcast to share the heart and soul behind Root to Rise, a healing experience born from deep friendship, heartbreak, and the courage to grow.

What started as three women navigating their own seasons of loss and transformation has blossomed into something bigger than we ever imagined. Together, we built a space that offers safety, connection, and renewal, not just for us, but for every person who steps into it.

From Friendship to a Movement

During the episode, we talked about:

🌱 How our own healing inspired the creation of Root to Rise

💛 The way friendship carried us through life’s most challenging moments

🔥 Why feeling safe, seen, and supported in sisterhood changes everything

🌀 How Root to Rise grew from a retreat into a movement of connection and growth

What is Root to Rise?

Co-founded by myself, JJ, and Tracy, Root to Rise offers single-day transformational retreats at Vanderkamp in Cleveland, NY. Our framework, Root, Rise, Connect, and Be Seen, is an invitation to ground into who you are, step into your next chapter, connect with others, and let yourself be fully witnessed.

The Power of Safe, Sacred Space

At the heart of Root to Rise is a shared belief: when we come together with open hearts, we rise higher than we ever could alone. Whether it’s through breathwork, guided reflection, or simply sitting in circle, the space we hold is designed to help you come home to yourself.

If you’ve been craving a day that’s just for you, to rest, to grow, to connect, I invite you to join us.
