What if the strongest thing a woman could say right now was this:

“I became more of a woman…

because of a man.”

In a world that tells women to do it all alone, Because of Him is a sacred counter-narrative.
It’s a book.
It’s a circle.
It’s a reclamation of truth, tenderness, and family.

This is for the woman who has been changed by the presence of a real man, not because he overpowered her, but because he stood beside her with steadiness and strength.
A man who made space.
Who helped her soften.
Who saw the woman in her before she could fully see it herself.

Whether you’re still with him, honoring a man from your past, or remembering one who shaped you forever...
this is your invitation to share the story only you can tell.

đź’” Why This Matters Now

We’re living in a cultural moment where masculinity is mistrusted.

Where women are applauded for doing it all.

And where motherhood is often performed in isolation, exhaustion, or apology.

But those of us who have lived something different—we remember.

We remember the men who stood in their masculine not with dominance, but with devotion.
The ones who let us rest.
The ones who made us rise.
The ones who reminded us that our softness is sacred, not shameful.

For too long, women have been told that needing a man is weakness.
That we must be both protector and nurturer.
That family doesn’t need polarity—it just needs survival.

As a speaker, mother, and the creator of family programs, children’s books, and mothering circles, I’ve seen the cost of this story and the power of what happens when we tell a better one.

My own story began in violence.
But it evolved into something sacred because of one man’s love, my husband Ole, whom I’ve walked beside for 22 years.

This project is my tribute.
Not just to him.
But to every woman who’s ever felt her wholeness return, not because she carried it all alone, but because someone stood beside her.

The World Desperately Needs to Hear Your Story

INTRODUCING...

Because of Him...

What Is This?

Because of Him is:

  • A 6-week guided storytelling program

  • A private circle of sovereign, feminine women

  • A published anthology of personal tributes to the masculine

You’ll be guided every step of the way to write your story and see it published with professional care.

“There’s a photo of me holding my 2nd daughter, nearly 14 years ago, seated beside my husband.

I look peaceful.
But what the photo doesn’t show is the unraveling it took to feel safe enough to become a mother, to start a family.
That didn’t happen because I was "strong."
It happened because of him.”

If you know that feeling…
If your story aches to be told…
Apply now. This is your circle.

You will only pay if your story concept is accepted.

I'm Azizi,

I’m a speaker, mother, author, and the creator of transformational programs for women and families.

I’ve worked with mothers, mentored parents, written children’s books, and stood on stages teaching what it means to build a home filled with love, vision, and leadership.

But none of it would have been possible without one quiet, powerful force:
A good man.

My husband Ole and I have been together 22 years.
We’ve raised our family with intention, traveled the world, and created a home where feminine and masculine co-exist in harmony, not hierarchy.

This book is more than a publication.
It’s a call to wholeness.
To family.
To memory.
And to the women who are ready to honor the man who stood beside them as they became more.

Submission Guidelines

✍🏽 Because of Him – Author Submission Guide

We’re curating 30 stories for a published book and storytelling circle called:

Because of Him: The Men Who Made Us More Woman

A tribute to the presence of real men who helped us return to ourselves.

This is not a collection of love letters.
It’s not a space for surface stories.
It’s a threshold experience—a story of who you became because of him.

Here’s what we’re looking for:

✅ Your story may be a fit if…

  • You became more woman in the presence of a real man—softer, stronger, more whole.

  • The story centers around a romantic partner, husband, or long-term love whose presence helped you shed layers of protection and step into your true feminine.

  • You’re still with him—or not. The story is about what shifted in you.

  • You may also be writing about a father or male mentor if that connection helped you form your feminine identity, trust, or capacity for intimacy.

  • You’re open to being guided deeper into your story through a 6-week live circle with other women.

❌ This book is not a fit if…

 

  • Your story is primarily about healing from a man rather than because of a man.

  • You’re still in active trauma or haven’t processed the emotions around the story.

  • The man in your story was passive, disconnected, or simply kind—but not transformational in your feminine becoming.

  • You’re looking for a platform to vent, resist, or prove something to men.

  • You cannot commit to the 6-week container or story development process.

 

 

🧭 What we mean by “Because of Him”

Not co-dependence.
Not perfection.
Not fantasy.

But the moment you felt your body exhale.
The moment your heart softened.
The moment you realized—you could finally rest in who you are.

That might have happened in his arms.
Or after he left, but still changed you.
Or because a father or mentor taught you early what it meant to be truly seen.

If that’s your story—this is your space.
