Elaine & Leeana
Elaine and Leeana met in 2005, after both being invited to lead a retreat together. Since then they’ve logged endless hours around each other's kitchen tables. They’ve loved on each others’ children and read each other’s manuscripts. They’ve worked together and vacationed together and consumed copious amounts of chips and salsa together. In the last few years, they’ve walked through Leeana’s unexpected divorce and the sudden death of Elaine’s husband. And through it all, they have turned to each other relentlessly with the message, “Even now, even in this: Remember who you are.”

The Finding You Project was born out of a desire to walk with women who want to go on the sacred search of finding themselves again or for the first time. Where am I now? Who am I now? What am I now? These are just a few of the many questions we will be asking. This will be an exploration. This will be an adventure. We’ll be curious. We’ll pay attention. And we’ll do it together.
Why? Why is this work important? Your deepest need is meaningful connection to ourselves and others. When we find ourselves, we also find what we need, what we want, and these are the ingredients we will need to attach to our lives more fully. To belong to ourselves and those we love.
Welcome, and let’s do this.
