Where ambitious overcomers repair the foundation beneath it all

Strong and Stable

A nervous system-informed newsletter and private community for women healing what achievement alone couldn’t resolve.

You’ve built a life that looks solid on the outside. But inside, the walls still tremble. The floors still shift beneath your feet.

Maybe you wake at 3 a.m., heart racing, mind spinning through an endless list of responsibilities.

Maybe you’re snapping at your partner with an intensity that doesn’t feel like you, or you’re quietly managing everything while secretly fearing the whole structure could collapse if you stop holding it all together.

Maybe everything looks “fine” from the outside—impressive, even—and yet some part of you knows that beneath all that beautiful decor, something at the foundation level still isn’t stable.

That’s not weakness. That’s not failure. That’s your nervous system finally getting loud enough for you to hear what it’s been trying to tell you all along.

Strong and Stable is a trauma-informed digital home—part curriculum, part community, part container—created specifically for ambitious women who coped through caregiving, overfunctioning, achievement, and control. Those of us who built multi-story houses of life on top of foundations that weren’t designed to hold them.

What You’ll Receive

Created by Annie Wright, LMFT—licensed psychotherapist, writer, and successful founder & CEO of Evergreen Counseling (a multimillion-dollar trauma therapy center she scaled and successfully exited)—this space offers a rhythm of real support, grounded in 15+ years of clinical expertise and the lived experience of someone who’s walked this path.

Each month, paid subscribers receive:

1st Sunday: Longform essays that name, validate, and reframe the patterns running your life—those brilliant adaptations that once kept you safe but may now be keeping you stuck

2nd Sunday: Workbooks with gentle, somatic and nervous system practices designed to support actual change—not just awareness. Because insight without embodiment rarely shifts the deeper patterns.

3rd Sunday: Personal letters from me—real stories, behind-the-scenes reflections, and photos I don’t share anywhere else, exploring how these patterns show up in my own life and what has helped me heal and move forward

4th Sunday: Monthly Q&A—where I answer your submitted questions (anonymous always welcome) with nuance, honesty, and care. The complex, un-Googleable questions that deserve more than a quick tip or platitude.

Plus, Quick Notes in between—off-the-cuff insights, resources I’m loving, and nervous system anchors for those low-bandwidth days when a full essay feels impossible.

And with your subscription, you’ll have full access to my full archive of 260+ essays, written since 2015, covering relational healing, trauma recovery, emotional boundaries, burnout, adult identity formation, and more. A decade of work that helped thousands of women feel seen—long before relational trauma was part of the cultural mainstream.

My forthcoming book, Decade of Decisions (W.W. Norton, 2026), explores the critical developmental tasks of adulthood—and how to build a life that feels truly your own, not just one that looks good on paper.
