Sara Maynard knows what it means to survive. For over fifteen years, she endured domestic abuse, carrying pain that silenced her voice and tested her worth. But in the quiet moments after, she chose something extraordinary—not just to rebuild herself, but to create space for others to do the same.
She founded Listen, Uplift, Vent (LUV), a safe and nurturing space for women and girls to be seen, heard, and held—especially those who feel invisible in the world’s noise. Through peer-led support, creative expression, and powerful community work, Sara Maynard has turned her own recovery into a collective movement of healing.
LUV is more than a service. It’s a statement. That self-worth can be rebuilt. That being misunderstood does not make you broken. That your story—especially the hardest parts—can light the way for someone else. Whether it’s through workshops, one-to-one mentoring, or the LUV Ladies peer circle, Sara Maynard makes sure that no woman walks through her pain alone.
As a single mother raising her teenage daughter, Sara Maynard carries with her not just strength, but softness—an unwavering belief in transformation through truth, and joy through connection. Her concept of self-LUV isn’t a slogan. It’s a reclamation. A reminder that loving yourself is radical, and that every woman deserves to feel whole again.
Sara Maynard is proof that healing is not about erasing the past—it’s about standing tall in spite of it, holding space for others, and spreading the LUV in a world that too often forgets how much we need it.
