At the start of this past week, Liz Truss was a big power player. She was a woman on the global stage with influence, prestige, and visibility. She was pictured with the queen and the new king. She addressed Parliament. She had even moved into 10 Downing Street!

Then this week, after a mere six weeks on the job, Truss stepped down as the prime minister of the UK, saying she couldn’t lead Britain forward after all. And, poof. Just like that, she was history. Gone.

Becoming “history” or suddenly invisible—be it in a country or in someone’s life—is something that I’ve actually thought about quite a bit. That’s why one of the intentions of this publication is to help people feel “seen”—the opposite of invisible. We want you to feel seen for the person you are on the inside. We want you to feel worthy, valuable, and less alone on your life’s journey. We want to elevate the voices and insights of all kinds of people so that you can see that you don't have to be a prime minister, a president, or a so-called influencer to be of value in our world.
