About the founder

Hi, I’m Kayla, the founder of The StrongHer Collective.

I launched SHC in 2025—right in the middle of my third pregnancy. To be honest, that pregnancy was a complete shock. I had just lost over 50 pounds and was in the best shape of my life when those two pink lines showed up. I wasn’t devastated because I didn’t want another child, but because I had finally fought my way back to feeling confident in my own skin… and I knew what was coming.

Pregnancy has always been hard on my body. With each one, I gained over 50 pounds, retained fluid like crazy, and watched all that hard work feel like it was slipping away. I already had two kids who had put me at my heaviest, and this time it hit me differently. Instead of spiraling, I started thinking:

What if there was a community where moms didn’t have to feel the pressure to “bounce back”?

What if we had a space to lift each other up, grow stronger together, and redefine what it means to be confident in motherhood?

That’s how The StrongHer Collective was born.

This isn’t about quick fixes or toxic diet culture. It’s about building strength, body and mind, while embracing every season of motherhood. It’s about saying strong looks good on you, no matter what stage you’re in.

Welcome to the Collective. You belong here.
