The Art of Remembering
How Molly turned a childhood of hand-me-downs into a practice of helping people see themselves again.
What if the thing you’ve been searching for isn’t something new — but something you’ve simply forgotten?
Maybe you’ve spent years trying to stand out.
Trying to prove you’re different.
Trying to become someone worth noticing.
Maybe you’ve mistaken reinvention for growth.
Molly Sovran remembers otherwise.
She didn’t discover her creativity all at once.
She remembered it.
Her gift isn’t just in putting outfits together.
It’s in helping people see themselves clearly—sometimes for the first time in years.
If you’ve been feeling a little lost, a little unoriginal, a little unsure of what’s yours —this one’s for you.
Because the goal isn’t to become.
It’s to remember.

The work that shapes us most is often the work no one else sees.

See you next Friday in the next Field Note!

these keep getting deeper and deeper. thank you, Lindsey. it's as if as you clear your mirror, you see more clearly.
[identity] -- it's always there by 5. there are versions of ourselves we try on and let go.
closets full of decisions. we did decide to keep this. why?
[suddenly, the Marie Kondo act of holding each thing and asking it why it's here, makes sense.]
and re-member... putting Self back together through our commune with things.
what we do as we touch the things ...
finally, you are reminding me of this story -- underneath the things is the act of reminding our Selves of our Essence -- under our clutter is a Golden Buddha -- https://carolyntate.co/the-story-of-the-golden-buddha/
This was so perfectly placed on a day I needed to hear such wisdom. I look forward to these every week. They are like mini episodes of remembrance for me…the bashful creative in me. 🙏🏻❤️🩹
