You are a human being, not a human doing.
You do not need to do more to be more.
You are worthy. Period. End of sentence. There isn’t an “I am worthy when… fill in the blank” caveat. The statement “I am worthy,” stands alone, and we’re here to remind you of this.
We’re right there with you in the struggle against the perpetual societal pressure to do more in order to be more. And while we may all know this, living it is 1000% different, right?
With this in mind, we created tools to help you fight back so that you can live from who you are, not from what you do.
Did you just breathe a sigh of relief?
We did too.

Meet our hallmark paper product for capturing your every day story.
Did you just open your planner or calendar to look back at your week? I did.
Planners are more than to-do lists or a book of accomplishments or empty pages. Planners tell a story of your year - the moments you reconnected with a friend, your growth through a hard week, the work-failures-turned-lessons, and the celebrations with smiles that made your cheeks hurt.
Kindred planners are designed to capture your story. Space to write the life's tasks, appointments, and goals. AND space to reflect on how those same "doing" things play a role into your greater story and who you are.
Told you it was more than a to-do list.
I see you. I see you searching to find your worth in all that you are doing. And while what you’re doing is important and meaningful, is it enough? To answer "is it worth it?", you may find yourself doing more, living at 120 MPH in hopes of making the connection between what you are doing and what you are worth.
As someone who has tried to find my worth while drowning in an ever growing list of tasks and accomplishments, let me give you the spoiler: the answer will not catch up to you. Because the answer is not found in doing more.
The answer is found in knowing that you are enough as is, without your life’s resume.
Hear me when I say that doing is not bad. Counterintuitive, maybe, but you have dreams to chase. Goals you want to tackle. Life things you want (or have) to do. These are not bad. But if you and I are not careful, the doing can gradually become the thing. The thing(s) we find our worth in and the thing(s) we see as only important in our stories.
Enter Kindred & Co.: paper goods for your every day story - the little moments & big moments & all the in between.

"Perhaps best of all, we passed the (virtual) baton of encouragement around and took turns hoping on each other's behalf whenever any one of us found it difficult to have hope for herself."
