The Women Worth Knowing
There’s something powerful about a room full of women who have decided who they are.
Not who they were told to be.
Not who life tried to shape them into.
But who they chose to become.
This issue is about those women.
The ones building businesses, leading families, creating change, and showing up every day with a quiet kind of strength that doesn’t always make headlines, but absolutely shapes our community.
As I worked through this issue, I kept coming back to one thought. Every woman featured here has a moment. A moment where things could have gone differently. A moment where she could have stayed comfortable, stayed quiet, or stayed small.
And she didn’t.
Instead, she leaned in. She asked more questions. She took the risk. She trusted herself, even when it would have been easier not to.
That kind of courage doesn’t always look loud. Sometimes it looks like starting over. Sometimes it looks like choosing a different path. Sometimes it looks like standing firm in a decision that only you understand.
But it matters.
In these pages, you’ll meet women who are redefining industries, supporting others through life’s most vulnerable seasons, and creating spaces where people feel seen, heard, and cared for.
You’ll also notice something else. None of them are doing it alone.
There is a thread that runs through every story in this issue, and it’s connection. Women supporting women. Collaborating. Lifting each other up. Making space at the table instead of guarding it.
That’s where the real impact happens.
That’s how a community grows stronger.
My hope is that as you read this issue, you see more than just stories. I hope you see possibility. I hope you see pieces of yourself. And maybe, just maybe, you feel a little more confident stepping into whatever is next for you.
Because the truth is, the women in these pages aren’t the exception.
They’re the example.
And this community is full of women worth knowing.
Same place next month?

ARTICLE BY ERIN LYONS

Birth is different for every woman, every time. It can be a beautiful, life-changing experience. It can also be a vulnerable and challenging time. Dr. Erica Hernandez, Alyxandriah Bermea-Ramos, and Jenna Hernandez are making it their life’s work to guide women with education, caring, and love.
All these women were inspired to work in the birth community because of their own experiences or the experiences of those they cared for. Dr. Erica Hernandez at Empowered Chiropractic + Massage told me that she has always been drawn to birth work. Her own health struggles as a teenager sparked an interest in other types of healthcare. This led her to apply to chiropractic school, which opened her eyes to a completely different side of birth work. “Women were being supported by midwives and giving birth in birth centers and at home. They were finding power and strength in their motherhood.” Towards the end of chiropractic school, her planned home birth ended with transfer to the hospital and a cesarean section. “I was devastated.” Soon after graduation, she moved back to San Antonio and started connecting with the birth community. In 2015, she gave birth at home, and “A fire was lit in me.” She was inspired to create opportunities for women wanting the same and became a doula. “I couldn’t wait to get back in it and support other moms on their pregnancy, birth, and motherhood journeys.”
Alyxandriah Bermea-Ramos, a doula, midwife apprentice, and founder of With Joy Birth & Wellness, was also influenced by her own birth experiences to pursue this line of work. While her first hospital birth was positive, she felt there should be more options for women. Her research introduced her to natural birth, and after her second child was born at home with midwife and doula care, she knew she wanted to support families in the same way she was supported.
Jenna Hernandez, Certified Nurse Midwife, has been drawn to nursing and birth work since childhood. She volunteered at a hospital as a kid, and after attending her brother’s birth, she knew that was her path. She began pursuing a career in
nursing, and after working in labor and delivery for a while, she earned a master’s degree in nursing and became a certified nurse midwife. Her seven years in a hospital-based practice were rewarding and enriched her knowledge, but she often felt limited, watched, and restricted. Jenna knew she wanted things to be different, so with her sister’s encouragement, she opened The Mobile Midwife, an in-home nurse-midwifery practice.
Each of their careers has changed over the years to better serve the community. In 2017, Dr. Hernandez opened Empowered Chiropractic + Massage in a suite of an office building that her parents owned. She wanted to have a family practice focusing on perinatal and pediatric care. Because she was a mom caring for other moms and their children, it worked well for Erica’s children to be in the office with her. Erica said those were tiring but exciting days as she built her business and had her third child. Six months later, Erica’s schedule was full, and they moved into a bigger office. After navigating their way through the pandemic and having a fourth child, she felt ready to move into an even bigger space and hire another doctor. They now have three locations serving San Antonio.
CONTINUED >
“Informed and empowered birth is how we heal the world; it starts by taking care of families, especially the moms.”
Alyxandriah’s birth work began as a doula, providing support and education to women and their partners during pregnancy, and personal care during labor, delivery, and the postpartum period. She also provides a variety of placenta encapsulation options. These days, she is a mother of three and works less as a doula as she focuses on becoming a midwife and working as an apprentice at a birth center in the South Texas Medical Center.
When Jenna decided to open her own practice, she knew she wanted to create something special for the women of San Antonio. She focuses her mobile midwifery practice on in-home gynecologic, sexual, reproductive, fertility, hormonal replacement, and home birth care. Jenna centers the family, bodily autonomy, education, and informed decision-making so that women’s daily lives, sexual health, and birth outcomes are better. Jenna travels all around San Antonio, and sometimes as far as Fredericksburg or Beeville, so that women may receive care in their homes. “I can practice in a way that feels aligned with who I am as a person, a mother, and as a provider, while also leaning into what the people in our community want and need.”
While each of these women is caring for their patients in different ways, what matters to all of them is helping women feel informed and empowered about their healthcare. Dr. Hernandez, who recently gave birth to her sixth child, feels like birth work is sacred for her. She told me, “Informed and empowered birth is how we heal the world; it starts by taking care of families, especially the moms.”
Alyxandriah told me that women want to be heard and respected. “True empowerment comes when knowledge, support, and faith all come together to help women confidently navigate their birth and parenting journey.”
Jenna feels privileged to work with many diverse family structures. Jenna told me the people in these communities are underserved in healthcare, with some of the worst maternal and neonatal outcomes in hospital-based settings. She works hard to ensure that every client has equal access to education,
understands how their body works, and feels empowered to make their own healthcare decisions. “It is important to me to create safety within a healthcare space where people can feel like equals while also receiving equitable care and feel empowered at the end of it.”
Collaboration among the birth community is common because their goals are the same: to serve women during their childbearing years. Understanding one another’s roles and building trust means women receive better care, and everyone’s jobs are done at a higher level. Alyxandriah said, “Collaboration isn’t just about medical logistics; it’s about creating a culture where everyone on the team works together to support the family.” Because Jenna worked in hospital settings previously, she brings a unique ability to collaborate with both the home birthing community and
the medical system. Many of her patients sought her out because of previous medical trauma, so Jenna knows, “It is crucial to develop trust with the families that I care for to fully utilize the integration of other modes of medicine and care options within the community.”
As Jenna prepares for the birth of her third child, she feels “continually in awe of the physical abilities of the female body and the depths in which we can feel and experience major life seasons and challenges.” Dr. Hernandez, Alyxandriah, and Jenna all shared incredible stories of their patient’s strength and resilience. While every story was different, they all shared common themes. Women are often told that something is out of reach or impossible. Then women find other women to support them, and they accomplish the impossible.
Walking with women through birth, loss, healing, and everything between
Dr. Hernandez, Alyxandriah, and Jenna support women and their families in ways that extend far beyond labor and delivery. Their work is rooted in a deep passion for caring for women through every stage of life. They help women navigate health in many ways, including chiropractic care, massage, acupuncture, and nutritional guidance. They also coordinate with other medical professionals on behalf of their patients, ensuring each woman receives well-rounded, thoughtful care. Their support continues into breastfeeding, postpartum education, and recovery, connecting families with trusted resources when needed. They also walk alongside women facing infertility, miscarriage, and pregnancy loss, offering trauma-informed care through some of life’s most difficult moments.

BECKY HILLYARD
From Side Hustle to Style Empire
The power of taste, trust, and the courage to “just start.”
She didn’t have a business plan, a media budget, or even a name anyone could pronounce. What Becky Hillyard had was taste, a young family, and the instinct to just start. Today, her lifestyle brand Cella Jane commands an audience the size of Vogue’s, she’s nine collections strong with Splendid, and she’s built it all while raising three kids — refusing to sacrifice one for the other. In an exclusive conversation for the Share the Lifestyle podcast, Becky shares what it really takes to build a brand, a career, and a life you love. Read the highlights below, then scan the QR code for the full conversation.
Q: WHEN DID YOU KNOW CELLA JANE WAS MORE THAN A HOBBY?
A: Two moments. Women started emailing me saying they bought something I recommended and felt amazing — asking me to help them find a dress for a wedding. That felt incredible. Then I looked at my affiliate numbers for one month and realized I could cover our mortgage. I thought, I can actually do this. I never set out to build a business. I started it because I genuinely loved it.
Becky in Splendid x @CellaJaneBlog Spring 2026 Collection
Q: WHAT WAS THE BIGGEST RISK YOU EVER TOOK WITH THE BRAND?
A: Designing my own collection. It’s easy to point at items on a website and say I love these. But to create something from scratch, put your name on it, and wait to see if people connect with it — that’s terrifying. I had an incredible partner in Splendid, and women loved the pieces. It was the biggest risk and the biggest accomplishment.
Q: HOW HAS INFLUENCER MARKETING CHANGED SINCE YOU STARTED?
A: When I started, brands didn’t know whether to take it seriously. Now it’s a legitimate line item in their marketing budgets — sometimes bigger than TV. Because what we’ve built is trust. People trust a real recommendation from someone they follow far more than a commercial. There’s no question about it now.
Q: YOU’RE A MOM OF THREE RUNNING A FULL BRAND. WHAT DOES YOUR DAY ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE?
A: I try to get up at five and not hit snooze — that first hour before the house wakes up is the most productive, most peaceful hour of my day. Then it’s all hands on deck with the kids and school drop-off. After that I work — planning content, connecting with my team, editing. After pickup, the day shifts completely and it’s all about them. I’ve learned to protect both halves fiercely, because both matter.
Q: WHAT WOULD YOU TELL SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO BUILD SOMETHING OF THEIR OWN BUT KEEPS WAITING?
A: Don’t wait. Don’t wait for the perfect camera, the right strategy, or enough followers. We find every excuse to stay comfortable. Just start, be consistent, and be authentically yourself. The right people will find you — and they’ll stay.
This conversation is just the beginning. Becky goes deeper on the risks that almost stopped her, the design process behind her latest Splendid collection, and what she’d tell her 2012 self today. Scan the QR code for the full, exclusive City Lifestyle interview on the Share the Lifestyle Podcast.

Moms Around Stone Oak, a Facebook community built on connection and support
THE WOMEN OF MASO
ARTICLE BY CHELSEA HUMPHREYS
What started as one mom’s desire to create a kinder, more supportive space has grown into one of the most trusted communities for mothers in Stone Oak.
Founded by Kimberly Kayatta, MASO (Moms Around Stone Oak) began over a decade ago with a simple goal: create a space where moms could ask questions, share experiences, and support one another without judgment.
Today, Kimberly leads MASO alongside a close-knit group of women she brought in for their shared values. Together, they’ve built something that feels less like a Facebook group and more like a village.
It’s a space built by moms who understand exactly what other moms need.
Q: WHY DID MASO NEED TO EXIST?
A: Kimberly (Founder): A space for moms to ask questions without judgment. No “mean girls,” just support.
Sydney: We wanted something that reflected the small-town feel of Stone Oak.
Amanda: A trusted place for real-time support and shared experiences.
Amber: A way to give back to a community that already meant so much.
Q: WHAT DOES MASO MEAN TO YOU?
A: Kimberly (Founder): Everything. Watching women show up for each other.
Sydney: A true extension of our everyday lives.
Amanda: Connection, purpose, and support.
Amber: A network of compassion.
Q: WHAT’S A MOMENT THAT REMINDED YOU WHY THIS MATTERS?
A: Sydney: Helping a family access a wheelchair van during medical treatments.
Kimberly (Founder): The community rallying around a mom battling cancer.
Amanda: Moms showing up to save a child’s birthday party.
Amber: Support during NICU stays, illness, and loss.
Q: WHAT DO YOU WANT EVERY NEW MOM TO FEEL?
A: Sydney: That she belongs.
Kimberly (Founder): Welcome and safe.
Amanda: Seen and never alone.
Amber: Judgment-free support.
Motherhood isn’t meant to be done alone. If you’re a mom in Stone Oak, find MASO (Moms Around Stone Oak) on Facebook and experience that support for yourself, too, today.
Strength In Practice
A MARTIAL ARTS ACADEMY WHERE WOMEN
BUILD CONFIDENCE AND COMMUNITY
ARTICLE
BY CAROLINE MITCHELL PHOTOGRAPHY BY HALEY JOHNSON
For many, the hardest part of trying something new is walking through the door for the first time. Jiu-Jitsu carries assumptions that make that mountain an even steeper climb; strength, athleticism and ability are seen as prerequisites, creating hesitation before a class ever begins. At Gracie Barra, women often arrive unsure of what to expect, but find a welcoming environment designed for all experience levels.
Fabiana Borges, the academy’s owner, understands that hesitation well. She began training at age eleven through a nonprofit program in Brazil. Growing up in an area with limited opportunities for positive youth activities, the program provided structure and direction at an early age. The discipline gave her a sense of direction early on. Finding her passion, she continued training into adulthood, eventually moving to the United States in 2008 and opening her first school in 2015. Today, the locally owned franchise includes four locations and serves more than a thousand students across its programs.
While Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is often associated with competition, the majority of students come to the mat with different goals. Some are looking for physical activity. Others are seeking a way to manage stress. Many women are simply looking for something that belongs to them–a space separate from responsibilities, expectations and the roles they carry each day. “As women grow, they carry so many roles,” the owner explains. “They become the daughter, the wife, the mom, and they forget to be themselves. With jiu-jitsu, a lot of women find themselves again.”
Classes are organized by age and experience level, allowing beginners to progress gradually. Early instruction focuses on body positioning, balance and leverage rather than physical strength, helping students build confidence as they learn. Over time, participants develop endurance, coordination and technical skill at a manageable pace. The school offers programs for
children as young as three years old through adults in their seventies. Moms often train while their children participate in classes on adjacent mats. The routine becomes something families can share, rather than another demand on an already full schedule.
A women’s class has developed into one of the strongest examples of the school’s unique community dynamic. Participants arrive from different professional backgrounds and life stages, but the environment allows them to learn together. Some bring young children who remain nearby during class, with parents informally rotating supervision when needed. Over time, unfamiliar faces become training partners, and training partners often become friends.
Misconceptions about Jiu-Jitsu still prevent many women from considering it. Some believe they need to reach a certain level of fitness before starting. Others assume martial arts require aggression or competition. Many worry about coordinating schedules with childcare or balancing financial commitments. In practice, the structure of the program addresses many of those concerns. Beginners are introduced to technique step by step, building endurance as they continue attending classes. Progress comes through consistency rather than prior experience. “A lot of times we think we have to lose the weight first,” Fabiana explains. “But you get in shape doing jiu-jitsu.” Media portrayals of martial arts suggest the idea that the mat is an inherently intense or combative atmosphere. However, most training sessions emphasize collaboration and cooperation. Students practice movements together, learning how technique allows a person to manage force rather than rely on it. While competition is available for those who are interested, it is only one path among many.
Students often describe the class as a mental reset as much as a physical workout. The focus required during training allows participants to step away from daily pressures and concentrate fully on learning. “Jiu-jitsu
“As women grow, they carry so many roles. They become the daughter, the wife, the mom, and they forget to be themselves. With jiu-jitsu, many women find themselves again.”
A women’s class has developed into one of the strongest examples of the school’s community dynamic. Over time, unfamiliar faces become training partners, and training partners often become friends.
is a great stress relief,” Fabiana says. “People come from work, they train for an hour, and they leave the stress on the mats.” The benefits extend beyond the class itself. As familiarity grows, so does comfort in the space. Students frequently develop friendships that continue outside the gym. For women balancing professional responsibilities, caregiving and family life, the class can offer a rare opportunity to focus fully on personal growth.
The academy extends its mission through outreach initiatives that support women in the broader community. During International Women’s Month and Breast Cancer Awareness Month, women in the community are invited to participate in introductory classes. Scholarships are available for women who have experienced domestic abuse, providing extended access to training and support.
For many students, the initial uncertainty fades quickly once training begins. Progress appears in small steps: improved balance, increased confidence, a greater willingness to dive into the unfamiliar. Women begin at many different stages of life, often unsure of what they will find. What they often discover is a place where effort leads to growth, where consistency builds confidence and where community forms naturally through shared challenge. Those who walk through the doors of Gracie Barra often leave feeling empowered with a stronger understanding of what they’re capable of.
LEARNING TOGETHER
Students begin at many different stages of life, often balancing work and family responsibilities. The structured format allows participants to progress at a steady pace while building supportive relationships through shared learning.
Plant You r Kitchen Garden
A quick guide for simple ideas to start off your backyard kitchen garden. With endless health and medicinal benefits, combined with the beauty and enjoyment to be found, gardening is endlessly rewarding.
GETTING STARTED
• Plant your vegetable options right into your beds with flowers, the pollinators (bees, butterflies and more) are attracted to the beautiful flowers and your veggies will easily and abundantly go-to-fruit, living harmoniously in one bed.
• Every garden needs a rain gauge - you’ll be surprised at how fun it is to check. There is nothing like rain water for your garden. (This is optional, but definitely fun).
• Get your family involved. It’s never too late!
• Just go for it, our local climate can be weird and often extreme but don’t let it stop you- the most success and fun I’ve had was just going for it. Experiment and see what you love and what works best for you!
• In most cases, when watering, don’t water the petals and leaves, (especially when they’re in direct sunlight) try to water straight to the soil. All they need is water, nutrients and light to thrive! (and maybe a little love helps too!)
• Don’t forget herbs: Lavender, Mint, Lemon Verbena, Oregano, Basil, Cilantro, Parsley and more. Don’t be afraid to skip the spice rack and grab your seasoning from the garden.
ARTICLE BY LAURA SANCHEZQUAN
BACKYARD GARDENS OFFER FRESH VEGGIES AND FOOD FOR YOUR SOUL
What to Plant
Whether starting from seed or seedlings, you can’t go wrong with these options. Start with foods you know you like to eat.
TOMATOES:
They’re delicious, money-saving, good for eating fresh and for preserving. Tomatoes come in endless colors, shapes and sizes. Plant them in a sunny location with well-drained soil, ideally in full sun, and ensure they receive consistent moisture, supporting them with cages or stakes as they grow.
EGGPLANT:
Eggplant is a short season vegetable and a relative of peppers, potatoes, tomatoes and tobacco. It thrives in heat and full sun and can be deliciously made into baba ganoush and many other delicious dishes.
OKRA:
Okra loves our hot summers and full sun. Don’t wait too long to pick your okra, ideally harvesting them when they are 2 to 4 inches long. Can be eaten raw on a salad or best served deep fried. (The flower that turns into the okra itself is uniquely beautiful as well!)
PEPPERS:
Like tomatoes, peppers have many purposes and variations. Plant them in a sunny location with well-drained soil after the last frost, spacing them 18 inches apart, and provide consistent watering while ensuring the soil doesn’t become waterlogged.
Flowers Bring Pollinators
Flowers bring joy to all five of our senses, but they also bring pollinators to our garden in order to ensure your backyard kitchen will produce lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. Not to mention they also contain health and even medicinal properties.
HIBISCUS:
Make sure your hibiscus plants, whether tropical or hardy, get at least 6 hours of sun per day in order to achieve optimum blooming. Hibiscus flowers can be made into a delicious tea that can be served hot or ice cold (and is a good source of Vitamin C). With over 200 varieties of hibiscus world wide, their blooms only last a day or two! Stunning in all shapes, sizes and colors.
MARIGOLDS:
To the surprise of most people, marigold flowers are edible. Whether used fresh, dried, or infused into various beverages, Marigolds have a multitude of uses in the kitchen. An added benefit of planting these bright and low maintenance flowers next to tomatoes– they help keep pests away from devouring your tomatoes while also encouraging pollinators.
ZINNIAS: PLUMBAGO:
These bright, colorful garden gems have many benefits beyond their beauty and ease of care. Along with attracting pollinators, and being low maintenance they also have medicinal properties. Zinnias have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, they’re rich in antioxidants, and the natural compounds in zinnias can help calm irritated skin and reduce redness.
Plumbago is thought to have many health benefits, such as its anti-ulcer, anti-oxidant, and anti-cancer properties, resulting from its principal chemical components, which are concentrated in the roots, leaves, and stems of plants. This attractive light purple flowering plant thrives in the sun, and has moderate watering needs. Trim and prune to suit your own preferences of growth and it’s a welcome, abundantly beautiful member of any garden.
