Our Story

"A woman purposed is dangerous, with her, others follow.
A woman positioned protects, discerns, and sets boundaries.
A woman prepared is equipped and empowered."

- Natasha Brownfield

Hi, Kaya, Kia ora,

I’m Tash (Natasha), the visionary behind Raised Women. Originally born in Rotorua, New Zealand, with ties to the North and East Coasts of the North Island, I now live in Perth, Western Australia, with my Aussie husband Tyron, and am an expecting mama-to-be.

As a proud Christian Māori woman, my background is in business and marketing, with a deep heart for helping others. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of pursuing opportunities that stretched my faith, creativity, and purpose from travelling the world, developing food products, competing on the 2017 New Zealand series of My Kitchen Rules, to self-publishing my first book, Beautiful Ashes, in 2019, which shared the true stories of women who endured tremendous hardship.

Through every season, one thing became clear: my sweet spot is building community.

Raised Women was born from a heartfelt desire to raise up purposed, positioned, and prepared women. What started as an idea has continued to grow and refine through every conversation, opportunity, podcast, service, and connection along the way.

This is only the beginning of a journey with a very big vision.

Welcome to Raised Women. I’m so excited you’re here x

Aroha nui (much love),
Tash

The Battle Cry Behind Raised Women

Life, in so many ways, is a battlefield.

The vision I’ve always carried for Raised Women is of a contingent of women, advancing through life not alone, but side by side warring with and for one another. Women who take ground, gain territory, and claim what’s been promised for their lives and their families.

When you look to your left and right, you’ll see it:
An army is forming.

And the truth is, life is better when you move together.
When you are connected, when you are covered, and when you choose to advance as one.
