Brax Girl Ed 40: Samantha Gliniak
Love, Grace & Building a Life That Feels True Some women carry strength quietly.

Samantha Gliniak is one of those women. An oncology RN, mother of three, newlywed, animal lover, and woman who rebuilt her life through resilience and intention, Samantha speaks about love and family with refreshing hon

Grace in the Chaos, Beauty in the Becoming There are women who seem to hold entire worlds in their hands, women who nurture, build, pray, create, and love deeply, often all at once. Michelle is one of them. A believer, wife, mother to twin girls, and expecting a baby boy this July, Michelle is living a season many would call overwhelming.

Brax Girl Ed 38: Sahel Akbari
A Love Story Written in Fate, Culture, and Courage Some love stories begin slowly. Others arrive in a single moment, unexpected, unforgettable, and impossible to ignore.

Brax Girl Special Ed 36: Sanam Pourbabaei
She Played the Violin. They Answered With a Bullet. Sanam Pourbabaei was 26. A violin teacher. A daughter. A friend. She was shot in the head during a peaceful protest on January 8, 2026, in Lahijan, Iran. She was unarmed. She was running away. She was simply present. Her family was denied access to her body for days. Only after repeated visits, and a reported payment, was she buried, under heavy surveillance. No funeral. No music. Only silence.

Brax Girl Ed 34: Candice Madanipour-Willmes
When Parallel Lives Meet Paul asked Candice out on the very day his divorce was finalized. She had been his divorce attorney. At the time, Candice was also going through her own divorce, and dating was the last thing on her mind. “Definitely not as salacious as it sounds,” she says. Encouraged by her sister to “go have fun,” Candice said yes, never expecting that she’d be saying “I do” down the line. Their connection grew slowly and steadily. “We realized we had been living
