Welcome to the Family: A New Chapter for Kindred Soul and Sage

For years I carried a quiet, stubborn dream, one I tended in silence. I would whisper to myself between shifts and sketch breaks: one day I’ll walk away, one day I’ll live the life I was made for. I didn’t shout it from rooftops. I simply held it close, watering it with small acts of creation and moments of prayer.

Then life took a turn I didn’t expect. After my spinal surgery I went back to a job that felt safe but small. I thought I had no other option, that with my body still healing I couldn’t find anything better. So for five months I put my business on hold and told myself I’d return to it later. I traded mornings of drawing and late-night painting sessions for paychecks and practicality, believing that surviving was the only choice.

Those five months changed everything. In trying to keep myself “safe,” I nearly lost sight of my worth. I said yes to environments that didn’t nurture me and dimmed my creativity so I could fit into someone else’s schedule. But the quiet dream never stopped whispering.

Last week I was fired from that dead-end job. It stung. It shook me. And then, surprisingly and beautifully, it set me free. I no longer had to put up with the abuse and the toxic environment. 

The Quiet Manifestation That Became Real

I had been silently manifesting the freedom to choose, holding the image of walking away in my heart until the universe answered. It didn’t come how I pictured. It came in a way that forced me to finally prioritize my healing, my art, and my soul.

Now I can say, with fierce clarity: this is the last time I will allow myself to be treated in any way that doesn’t include being loved and nurtured for who I am. No more shrinking. No more proving myself to places that don’t see my worth. No more putting the business that feeds my soul on hold because of fear.

Why Kindred Soul and Sage Matters

Kindred Soul and Sage is more than a shop. It is the living, breathing result of years of whispered dreams, sketchbook pages, and slow, stubborn healing. It is a place where stationery, art, and gifts carry intention and energy designed to soothe, inspire, and reconnect us to what matters.

Every piece I create is stitched with care, with healing in mind. These aren’t just products; they are small medicines, reminders that beauty and worth are not bonuses to be earned, they are our birthright.

What You Can Expect From This Chapter

I’m stepping into this work full-time with an open heart and wide arms. I can’t wait to bring healing, art, and other creations to life and to share them with you:

• ✨ Healing Creations: Stationery, gifts, and art infused with intention to help you remember your worth.

• ✨ Courses & Teaching: I’ll be sharing hands-on guidance, art practices, soulful creativity, and gentle tools for healing, so you can reconnect to your own voice and craft.

• ✨ Community & Care: This is a family, a place where we lift each other up, share truth, and make room for growth without judgment.

A Promise to Myself and to You

Losing that job changed me. Not because of the loss itself, but because it forced me to recognize the life I had been silently manifesting and to finally step into it. It taught me that even in the middle of fear and physical healing, we can choose love over safety, creativity over comfort, and truth over smallness.

I promise to never again let myself be treated in ways that don’t reflect my worth. I promise to create from a place of abundance, tenderness, and fierce authenticity. And I promise to invite you into this work, whether you’re buying a sticker, joining a course, or simply showing up to read these words.

Welcome to the Kindred Soul and Sage family. Thank you for believing in this dream with me. The life on the other side of fear is quieter and wilder and more beautiful than I imagined, and I’m so glad we’re walking toward it together.

With deep gratitude and wild love,
Kindy Lynn
