Author: bravingfromwithin

I'm Terra Weiss, a feisty, loving, completely imperfect woman and mom on a mission to inspire other women to rise up and into their highest selves. I create safe spaces for women to lay it all out there, be vulnerable and brave, and do so by being an example of bravery and authenticity. I believe that behind every successful woman is a tribe of other successful women that have her back, and that's why surrounding myself with passionate, kind, brave, fiercely loyal women who are owning their stories is the greatest gift I can give myself. I will share this tribe and the many pieces and truths about myself here. I love to build other women up, find the magic within myself, curse like a sailor, love like an open window, fight for what I believe in and do it all while raising three vivacious and heart centered girls. I'm addicted to all things coffee, romance novels, personal growth, travel and being a better wife and mother than I was the day before.

It’s hard not to feel passionate and want to move the earth with your words in a desperate attempt to make them sink in when you’re watching your child […]

Running Away…Became Braving From Within

“I want to inspire people. I want someone to look at me and say because of you, I didn’t give up.” -This is why I’m here today, but if I’m being honest, it all started in a much different way. Don’t worry, I won’t go back to the very beginning, but I feel it’s only […]

The Weight of it All

April 19, 2018.Reading time 7 minutes.

I came home at 7pm tonight & after my entire family emptied out of my car, I remained inside. I told them that it was because my favorite song came on the radio, but really it was because I felt like I had a weight on my chest, an anxiety attack was setting in & […]
