Welcome to Outlaw Medicine – We do what we want here.

So what’s Outlaw Medicine all about?

Let’s set the record straight: The 'medicine' I speak of is YOU. It's something I have been searching for my entire life....ME. My authenticity, my voice, confidence, my peace, I could keep going.....and I know I am not alone. I look forward to conversing about this with you in the comments.

I look back at all the self imposed & societal rules, the internal suffering of trying to do things the 'right way', look the 'right way', the never ending quest of 'being the best version of myself'. I was so hard on myself. 

 I am done with believing in these invisible rules people have made up.

I think what led me here is that I have always had a hard time when people speak in absolutes to things that can't be proven, and this caused me to always feel like an outsider. Internally, I wished I could be so dedicated and faithful. I always thought- "How do they know so certainly?"

I've tried to follow the herd. In my late 20's I took classes and was confirmed in the super strict Missouri Synod Lutheran Christian Faith. I never understood why somethings were ok & some weren't. I felt like phony believer and that everyone could tell. I enjoyed the sacrament- wished they poured bigger cups. In my late-30's I went to a Shaman School for 2 years and studied Peruvian, Celtic, and various forms of Shamanism- I even spent time in Peru alongside a tribe we studied and worked in that sector for several years. I loved it, that shit was shadow weeeerrrkkkk.

I've been dunked in the holy water, sprayed in the face with Florida water (by mouth), had readings with coca leaves, cards, stars, & my hands, put crystals in my mouth, my bra, my water, my special no-no place - all trying desperately to fix what was wrong with me.

I smile, and shake my head at that sweet girl on a mission to find what fit.
But what I was truly searching for was ME. My Acceptance of me.

 I don't regret the education and experience, it's all valuable stepping stones. My studies, therapy, retreats, natural medicines, and various different tools have- to put it quite frankly- kept me alive and well entertained. 

Now that I am in my mid-forties I can look back and see all the different layers & versions of myself, and feel proud of the work I did to get here. I'm also wise enough to be open to the work I've yet to do, and look forward to the versions of myself I have yet to meet and accept....and the difference will be that I no longer need to find something outside myself to do this work or tell me what to do.

This is Outlaw Medicine. 

A culmination of personal growth, curiosity, spirituality, all with a sense of humor, and lots of compassion and self referencing. We are allowed to get things wrong and circle back. We care deeply, we show our emotions, we have the conversations, we laugh at made-up rules, we smile knowingly at absolutes, and we don't care about the 'quickest way to manifest' or the "1 thing we're doing wrong in our healing journey'.  We do things unapologetically OUR WAY, because WE ARE THE MEDICINE.

 

 

This isn't just a brand; it’s a movement.

We’re about embracing this one brutiful life we get. Its ok to laugh, its ok to cry and its absolutely ok to trust yourself in this journey, even if you don't know how just yet.

Right now, its just apparel, but I see it as a bridge to community, conversation, retreats and more.  Welcome to the family, don't be afraid to be yourself.

Much Love, 

Kellie
