OUR STORY

Family, Defined by Love.

Story of Us began with a personal story and a belief that the ways we make a family are wider than the stories we’re often told.

Kate Ryan, founder of Story of Us

The life we imagine.
The story we live.

Kate imagined a future with a partner and children. The lived experience was more complicated: becoming a step-parent, navigating years of infertility, and facing postpartum depression after a long-awaited pregnancy.

When she began to reflect, she returned to what she wished had been there: community, honest connection, safe movement, moments of stillness, laughter and a break.

Story of Us grew from those questions. It makes room for family-building in its many forms, and for the feelings that come with it.

The invitation is not to find the bright side of every chapter. It is to find something that supports you in the chapter you’re actually living.

A welcome we can put into practice.

OUR FOUNDATION

Love defines family.

Families take many forms. The welcome should be as wide as the people who need it.

OUR VOICE

Your feelings belong.

Hope, anger, grief, gratitude and uncertainty can share the same room.

OUR COMMUNITY

Care includes the caregivers.

Providers deserve time for themselves and connection beyond their professional roles.

Mindfulness, storytelling and connection.

Kate facilitates wellness experiences for individuals, providers and teams.

Start a conversation about the people you hope to serve and the experience that would help them.
