About Us

Joan of Arms is a creative movement dedicated to helping women reclaim authorship of their own lives. It was created to encourage women to develop confidence, competence, and clarity about what they believe and why. Through storytelling, preparedness, wellness, and responsible firearms education, Joan of Arms challenges women to move beyond passive participation in cultural conversations and instead become informed, self-directed voices.

The name Joan of Arms draws inspiration from Joan of Arc, a symbol of courage, conviction, and leadership. Just as she stood with unwavering belief in her purpose, Joan of Arms represents a modern commitment to living with intention, responsibility, and strength.

At its core, Joan of Arms is built on the idea that confidence grows from competence. Real empowerment is not created by slogans or trends—it is built through knowledge, skill, and the willingness to take responsibility for one’s beliefs and choices. By encouraging thoughtful conversation and practical learning, Joan of Arms helps women explore who they are, what they stand for, and how they want to show up in the world.

Joan of Arms is also the home of the Gun Stories For Girls podcast, a platform that explores the often-overlooked experiences of women and firearms. Through honest conversations and personal narratives, the podcast shines a light on perspectives that are rarely heard, creating space for women to share their stories and challenge stereotypes.

Beyond storytelling and education, Joan of Arms extends its message through thoughtfully designed apparel and tools for reflection. Our collection of t-shirts, caps, patches, bag charms, and workbooks are more than products—they are symbols of courage, independence, and personal responsibility. Each piece allows women to express what they stand for and carry the message of Joan of Arms into their everyday lives.

The workbooks created by Joan of Arms are designed to help women reflect, question, and grow. Through guided prompts and thoughtful exercises, they encourage deeper thinking about personal values, beliefs, and goals, helping women build clarity and live more deliberately.

Joan of Arms is more than a brand—it is a growing community of women who believe in thinking independently, learning continuously, and standing with conviction. Through stories, conversations, and shared experiences, the movement encourages women to find their voice and contribute meaningfully to the world around them.

At its heart, Joan of Arms is about courage, responsibility, and living deliberately—one woman, one voice, one story at a time.
