Let’s be honest: these are not easy times to be an activist.


Every day brings fresh heartbreak and outrage—climate disasters, rising authoritarianism, attacks on bodily autonomy, war in Gaza, and deep threats to our democracy. Many of us at WILPF US and throughout the US are exhausted, stretched thin, and quietly asking ourselves: How do I keep going without losing myself?


That’s exactly why my personal friend and fellow activist leader, Bianca Shaw, wrote From Surviving to Thriving: A Strategic Guide to Transforming Your Life. This isn’t just another self-help book. It’s a lifeline for change-makers who give so much to others—and need help reclaiming their own clarity, purpose, and peace.

Bianca Shaw, President of the Wisconsin Women’s Network and senior campaign manager with All Voting is Local, has spent over 16 years driving social change in local, state, and nonprofit spaces. Her work spans early childcare reform, economic justice, workforce development, voting rights, and more. She knows the cost of fighting for justice—and the burnout that can come when we don’t stop to care for ourselves.


In From Surviving to Thriving, Bianca offers the tools she’s used to stay focused, grounded, and aligned. This warm and practical guide walks you through:


  • Clarifying your core values and life vision
  • Creating a mission statement that keeps you centered
  • Building an intentional plan for joy, action, and purpose
  • Tackling burnout, distractions, and overwhelm
  • Reigniting the spark that brought you to activism in the first place


Each chapter is filled with real-world wisdom, guided reflections, and space to breathe. Whether you’re a veteran organizer or new to the work, this book is here to help you re-center, recommit, and rise.


🎁 Special Offer: Signed copies available to first ten donors of $100 or more

I urge you to get online quickly and donate for the ‘first come, first served’ chance to receive a signed copy of Bianca Shaw’s brilliant book, From Surviving to Thriving: A Strategic Guide for Transforming your Life for a $100 donation. If you are one of the first ten, you will receive a signed edition and an exclusive invitation to a private virtual discussion with Bianca Shaw. Hear directly from this powerful leader—and reconnect with your why in community.

You’ve spent so much time fighting for others. Let this be your time to realign, recharge, and thrive.

With care and solidarity,


Martha Collins

Co-President, WILPF US
