Why fierce?
The word fierce is often mistaken for anger or aggression. That isn’t what it means here. To me, fierce means living with courage, authenticity and conviction. It means protecting what matters. Speaking up when your voice is needed. Standing up for those who need a defender. Caring deeply about the natural world and helping preserve it for future generations. Choosing curiosity over fear. Compassion over indifference. Wonder over cynicism. Being fierce isn’t about being loud. It’s about refusing to lose the parts of yourself that make you fully alive. It’s also about standing in your strength.
Why Freyja?
Of all the figures in Norse mythology, Freyja has always resonated with me most deeply. She is strong without losing her tenderness. She is independent, yet compassionate. She is associate with love, beauty, war, magic, nature, & courage—qualities that continue to inspire me to this day.
Rather than seeing mythology as something locked in the past, I see these stories as living reminders of important, timeless qualities that we can cultivate within ourselves.
For me, Freyja represents the courage to live authentically, to remain curious, & to walk through the world with both kindness & strength.
A Note
Fierce Like Freyja began with a simple belief:

My hope is that this place helps you to rediscover the beauty, wisdom, adventure, & everyday magic waiting in the world around you—& within yourself.
