NIGHTMARES





This little corner of the internet is packed with one-off earrings, creative clay kits, and survivor-led stories for girls and sisters who are done carrying it all alone. We don’t just make earrings for ourselves—we make them for each other, using every workshop and kit as an excuse to connect, gift, and quietly organize in soft protest.

GET IN, Loser.
we're liberating.
Women are taught, from early on, to compare, compete, and quietly resent each other. This movement is for us. Ovary-carrying beings who have lived through periods, pregnancy scares, and the pressure of being female in a world that still doesn’t know what to do with us.
We’re the next wave after our mothers, many of whom weren’t the ones organizing. Here, we’re gently breaking ancestral trauma between women by choosing each other instead of competing. Together, we connect over clay, color, and conversation as a soft protest—turning our stories into something we can hold, gift, share, and wear.

-
We’re praised for being “the chill girl” or “not like other girls,” making everyone else the problem, not culture.
-
We’re fed beauty, body, and success standards that make another woman’s win feel like our loss.
-
We’re warned about “mean girls” and "guys girls" more than we’re warned about unsafe men, so we learn to fear each other more than we fear harm or another woman's harm.
-
We’re encouraged to judge mothers, childfree women, single women, and partnered women instead of seeing each path as equally valid and something to learn from.

-
That the "other woman" is your competition– instead of an embodied, co-conspirator.
-
That your anger makes you "crazy"– instead of honest, oppressed, and awake.
-
That you have to shrink your needs, desires, or boundaries to be lovable or wanted.
-
That you're not connected or aware of your body, strength, and abilities.
-
That you're moody, disregulated, and unorganized because of your period.
-

-
Seeing other women as mirrors—if someone triggers us, it might be showing us where we're still growing.
-
Letting jealousy become a clue ("I can achieve that also") instead of a reason to minimize.
-
Naming harm clearly while still holding faith that ourselves and others can grow, repair, and change.
-
Forgiveness to ourselves, each other, and others in our lives (a.k.a. freedom through self-resolution).
-
Celebrating emotional ranges, connection, and communication.
-
Asking, answering, and sharing our answers with each other. Holding the knowledge that those answers are subject to move and change like our periods!
-

-
A feeling of togetherness and empowerment you can take home with you (and your earrings!).
-
A language for calling in sisters instead of calling them out.
-
More trust in your own voice, and in other women’s stories.
-
A felt sense that we don’t have to be the same to stand on the same side.
-
A tangible way to connect with yourself and others through the symbolism of our creations.
