About Me: Why I Write, Why I Share, and Why I Believe in You

Hey love,

Since you’ve landed here, let’s get real. You’re probably not just here to “read another blog.” You’re here because something in you is craving change, craving connection, craving truth. And I see you.

My name is Vanessa Rose, and my heart beats for women who are done pretending they’re fine while fighting silent battles inside. For years, I tried to numb my way through life—through the pain, the pressure, the chaos. I thought being “strong” meant always holding it together, even when I was falling apart. But the truth is, my strength didn’t really show up until I got honest with myself and chose a different path: sobriety.

Sobriety wasn’t just about putting down the drink. It was about meeting me for the very first time. It was about stripping away all the noise—other people’s opinions, toxic relationships, the weight of perfectionism—and finally asking, “Who am I when I’m not numbing, not surviving, not performing?”

The answer? I’m still learning. Every day. But here’s what I know: I’m a woman who refuses to stay chained to the things that once tried to break me. I’m a woman who believes softness is power, and vulnerability is courage. And I’m a woman who knows that when we come together, our healing is unstoppable.

That’s why I created this space and why I pour my heart into every blog post I write. This isn’t about me telling you what to do or handing you some “perfect formula” for life. This is about walking side by side, sharing the messy truths, the lessons from rock bottom, and the reminders we all need when we’re tempted to give up.

💫 This community is for the woman who wants sobriety but feels stuck in a toxic relationship.
💫 It’s for the one who feels guilty for resting, who’s tired of survival mode, and who craves peace more than chaos.
💫 It’s for the woman who’s “sober curious,” wondering if maybe her best self is waiting on the other side of letting go.
💫 And it’s for the woman who needs to hear, over and over again: You are not alone. You are not too broken. And you are worthy of a life that feels free.

So when you read my blogs, know this: I’m writing from the trenches, not the pedestal. I’m writing as someone who’s walked through rock bottom, who’s wrestled with toxic love, who’s fought with herself in the mirror, and who’s still choosing—every day—to rise.

And I want you to rise with me. 🌹

If you’re ready to step out of survival mode, to stop romanticizing the struggle, and to finally discover the power of softness, connection, and sobriety… then you’ve found your people.

Welcome to Rose Unchained.
We’re breaking chains here—together.

With love and fire,
Vanessa 🌹⛓💥
