Where womanhood doesn’t need to be explained just heard.
I didn’t set out to build a site. Honestly, Lady Sanity began with a question I didn’t know how to ask out loud.
One night, I was scrolling through my phone, trying to find an answer to something that felt… small but heavy: “Why do I feel like I’m losing parts of myself, even while doing everything ‘right’?” I’d just read a comment thread where a woman asked if lifting weights made her look too masculine. The replies made her sound silly. But I knew that feeling asking something real and getting shushed or sugarcoated in return.
That’s when the idea for Lady Sanity landed, not like a business pitch, but more like a sigh. A “finally.” A space where we could just say what we’re actually thinking.
Here, we talk about what it means to feel at home in our bodies, even when they change. We talk about identity – not just as a concept, but as a lived thing that shifts in motherhood, marriage, breakups, or belief. We get into the beauty stuff too, but not the kind you buy in a bottle. We ask things like:
“What do you say when you confront the other woman?”
“Why does your confidence disappear at family dinners?”
“Is skincare still self-care when it feels like a routine?”
If you’ve ever searched for answers that didn’t fit into a pretty little box, you’re in the right place.
Lady Sanity is where we untangle the quiet questions. It’s where womanhood is allowed to be unsure, in-progress, complicated – and still beautiful. No performances, no judgment, just real talk for real women.
If you’ve whispered into your pillow, your journal, or Google at 2 a.m., this space is for you.
Welcome to Lady Sanity.
We’re not fixing you. We’re figuring it out with you.
Meet Tamika Rice
I’m Tamika – a Southern woman through and through, raised on front porch honesty and quiet strength. Born in North Carolina and shaped by the deep rhythms of Southern womanhood, I’ve always carried stories, even before I had the words to write them.
For years, I worked behind the scenes of women’s magazines, editing stories on beauty, health, and lifestyle. I loved the work, but I noticed something missing the questions that really sat with us didn’t always make the final cut.
No one wanted to talk about the tension between wanting to feel beautiful and not wanting to be defined by it. Or what it means to be a feminist who still struggles with jealousy. Or how identity, faith, and femininity collide in ways we’re told not to admit.
So I started writing differently.
I launched Lady Sanity not because I had it all figured out, but because I didn’t. I wanted to create a space where women could read something and feel seen not sold to. A space where lifestyle isn’t a performance, and empowerment doesn’t require pretending.
Every article here is rooted in honesty, a little research, and a lot of empathy. I write for the woman who’s tired of perfect answers and just wants the real ones.
Come as you are. You’re not late to the conversation.
You’re right on time.
