Hi, I'm Kate and somewhere between new babies, burnout, peri shifts, heartbreak, illness and fresh starts, I realised something big:
we desperately want to show up for the women we love… but most gifts don’t actually help.
The world keeps selling noise, pretty things, filler things, “I hope this lands” things instead of support.
So I did the opposite.
I asked hundreds of women what truly helped when life got real.
Their honesty shaped a new way to gift; one built on care, connection, and easing her load - not adding to it.
We Are The Helpful exists for those moments when someone in your inner circle is going through it, and you want to get it right. A place to find gifts that meet her in the messy middle, hold her hand, and remind her she’s not doing any of this alone.
This is gifting that genuinely helps.
And I’m here to help you give it.

“I was so busy being a mum, I didn’t have time to be a daughter.”
Working so closely with Kate to build her vision for We Are The Helpful, we talked more intimately about her experience of losing her mum than we might have otherwise. Her words were as ever poignant, honest, and reflective, but this simple, disarming phrase struck me as so universally relatable.
