About Our Mission
Overcome Adversity by Embracing Authenticity
REVIVE's mission is "To uplift and empower women of all ages to overcome adversity by embracing authenticity with resilience and self-confidence to become the best version of themselves.” REVIVE With Purpose provides an intimate, supportive space to learn and develop the skills needed for today’s world. Its six-stage process teaches women and teens in small group settings how to find coping skills when life throws them curveballs. Most importantly, it helps them dig deep and find what makes them unique.
REVIVE stands for Respect and Love Yourself, End the Cycle of Unhealthy Relationships, Vent to Others, Identify Unique Strengths, Verify Problem Behaviors, and Express Emotions Effectively.
Traditional forms of therapy don’t work for everyone. Being around others in a supportive, non-judgmental environment will allow these women and girls to feel heard, accepted, and encouraged to power through when times are tough. It gives them hope that better days are ahead. Erin will conduct a series of workshops by request at high schools, colleges, and women’s organizations.
"Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we're supposed to be and embracing who we are."
– Brené Brown
The Story
Behind REVIVE
How many women and girls do you know who are overachievers, struggling to find self-worth? How many do you know who've had life struggles either personally, professionally, or both and are feeling stuck and unable to move forward? Erin Logan was one of them and knows countless other women and teens who check these boxes.
At the age of 38 Erin was in group therapy. She observed a lot while in the mix of women from different backgrounds and ages. She realized she wasn’t alone, but was fortunate to have a strong support system to help her through a difficult time. A lot of the women had no one to lean on. She immediately got to work and created a vision of an organization called REVIVE. She knew one day when she was no longer feeling “worthless” and “lost” that she would get the organization going.
For a number of years, Erin conducted workshops for women and teens in Connecticut, Ohio, and Massachusetts. The feedback was outstanding so she decided to take things a step further. In June 2025, REVIVE became REVIVE With Purpose, Inc. In August 2025, it officially became a 501(c)(3).
