Try to Heal was founded in 2022 with a mission to empower trauma survivors through motivational products that inspire healing, hope, and self-love.

My journey began after surviving an abusive relationship that lasted over five years. The road to recovery was anything but easy—I spent countless hours in therapy, often wondering if I would ever feel whole again. What helped me the most were small, meaningful reminders: motivational quotes and affirmations on everyday items. They were lifelines on the days I needed them most.

As I leaned on these words of encouragement, I realized their impact and felt a calling to share them with others. That’s when Try to Heal was born—a space where survivors and anyone on a healing journey can find uplifting products that serve as daily reminders of their strength, resilience, and worth.

I understand firsthand that healing is not a one-size-fits-all journey. The biggest mistake my support system made was telling me to simply "move on." But what I truly needed to hear was:

"Just try to heal—when you're ready."

Healing happens in our own time, in our own way. Whether you’re healing, healed, or unsure where to start, Try to Heal is here to support you. Our products—filled with affirmations, humor, and positivity—are designed to uplift and empower you every step of the way.

No matter what you're facing—whether you're a survivor, navigating mental health challenges, or simply in need of a daily boost—Try to Heal is here to remind you:

✨ You are strong.

✨ You are worthy.

✨ And most importantly, you are not alone.
