Welcome. You’re one of the tens of thousands of visitors this month. Will you take a moment to support this site?
Our mission and the name ‘First Ourselves’ comes from the conviction that we first have to heal ourselves. In so doing, by our conscious living and by healing our suffering, we add healing to the world. We can then help others find peace.
This website was founded by a mom of four, who started writing in 2006 after suffering from food pain for decades. From the desk in her basement, Karly Randolph Pitman created this blog. It’s now grown to include select authors and a forum of women offering each other support from locations around the world. Ideas for how you can support this project:
- Send an email with feedback or ideas.
- Volunteer in the women’s support forum.
- Purchase something in our store to help cover operational costs: books, audio, and online resources.

“I love this movement you are leading and fully support its growth.” – Sherry D., Kansas
