We all carry a ruck—an emotional backpack filled with life’s challenges, experiences, and responsibilities. Her Ruck is about learning to carry that weight with strength, grace, and the support of a powerful community.

Turn Stress Into Strength

Practical tools, resources, and challenges to help you conquer stress and grow stronger—mentally, emotionally, and physically.

What is Stress?

Stress is your body’s natural response to challenges or demands, triggering physical, emotional, and mental reactions. It can be caused by daily pressures, significant life changes, or unexpected events. While short-term stress can motivate you to take action, prolonged stress can affect your health, relationships, and overall well-being. At Her Ruck, we understand that life can feel heavy at times, but with the right tools and support, you can turn that weight into strength and resilience.

What Does It Mean to Normalize Stress?

Normalizing stress means accepting it as a routine or unavoidable part of life, to the point where its impact on your mental, emotional, and physical well-being is overlooked. While stress is a natural response, ignoring or downplaying its effects can lead to chronic health issues, strained relationships, and emotional burnout. When stress becomes "normal," it’s easier to miss the warning signs until it feels unmanageable. At Her Ruck, we aim to break the cycle by encouraging awareness and offering practical strategies to address stress before it takes a toll.

Hi, I’m Richelle Futch, the heart behind Her Ruck. I’m a Marine Corps Veteran, a retired military spouse, and now a law enforcement spouse, deeply committed to serving those who serve others. My journey has been shaped by life’s challenges — deployments, transitions, and the emotional weight that comes with them. I understand what it feels like to carry heavy burdens, and I’ve dedicated my life to helping others carry theirs with strength and grace.

As a licensed clinical social worker with years of experience supporting individuals and families through life’s toughest moments, I’ve seen firsthand how stress, trauma, and emotional struggles can weigh us down. I’ve also learned that with the right tools, mindset, and community, we can turn that weight into personal growth and resilience.

Her Ruck was born from that belief. Whether you're navigating stress, working to strengthen your relationships, or simply seeking a supportive space for personal growth, I'm here to guide you. Through mental health resources, ruck challenges, workshops, and family programs, I’m committed to helping you build emotional strength and reclaim your power.

You can trust that when you’re part of this community, you’re learning from someone who’s been in the trenches — literally and emotionally. I’m honored to walk this path with you.
