The Shoreline
By Raise the Tide™
Building Confidence, Clarity, and Community, together
A supportive online space for women in communications who want to reconnect with themselves as leaders, build clarity and confidence, and move forward surrounded by others who truly get it.
You’re Not Stuck,
You’re Ready for more
You want to keep growing in this field, but you’ve reached a point where…
- You’re constantly in triage mode with no time to think, reflect, or lead intentionally.
- You’re navigating a field that’s oversimplified and misunderstood, and feeling the weight of that.
- You’re translating decisions more than shaping them, and cleaning up crises you saw coming from a mile away.
- You’re working to clarify your voice as a strategic advisor but are wrapped up in the day-to-day nuances.
Let’s be clear. Lack of effort isn’t the problem here.
It’s that you’re doing it all surrounded by people who don’t really get it.
But what if they did?
A Place Where Women in Comms Connect, Stay In Conversation, And Keep Growing
The Shoreline by Raise the Tide™ is a private online community for women in communications. No required pace. No calendar pressure. Just real connection, honest conversation, and the right women around you.
Sometimes that’s all it takes.
All women in Communications are welcome—Any level. Any environment (in-house, agency, consultant, non-profit). Any geography. And if you’re between roles right now, figuring out what’s next, you’re welcome here too.
A Community Built Around
Real-World Communications Life
You’re craving:
- A place to steady yourself, reconnecting with clarity and self-trust.
- A genuine community of women who want to see each other win, and actually mean it.
- A space for learning, reflection, and inspiration (rooted in real-life, not theory).
- A place to ask the questions you can’t always ask inside your own organization.
That’s what The Shoreline was built for.
Experience Small Shifts
It’s not about overnight change here. It’s about building momentum over time,making decisions with more confidence, and advocating more clearly for yourself and your function.
Women who spend time in Raise the Tide™ often notice:
- Renewed confidence to speak, advocate, and be seen with more authority.
- The relief of being around people who don’t need this work explained to them.
- Greater clarity in determining what’s next in their career.
- Practical perspective and learning that applies to what you’re handling right now.
Because that’s what happens when you’re surrounded with the right crew.

A Note from
Tara McDonagh
CEO, Chief Communications Strategist, and Founder of Raise the Tide™
This field is far too complex to navigate alone.
I created The Shoreline as a place for women in communications to feel less alone and more supported as they navigate the realities of working in this demanding, misunderstood field.A moment to breathe amid all the chaos and pressure. A moment to pause, reflect, and think with peers who get the work.
You’ll hear from me here through reflections, guidance, and perspective, but this space is intentionally led by the collective crew. What makes it so special is how we come together to share experiences, have honest conversations, and learn from one another as we grow.
If you’re looking to build confidence, gain clarity, or simply feel less alone in this work, welcome.
An Invitation To Start Where You Are
You’ve been navigating this field long enough to know what’s missing.
A crew who gets the work.
Honest conversation that doesn’t require three paragraphs of context.
Perspective from women who’ve been exactly where you are.
Guidance from a leader in the field who can give you insight that matters.
That’s what’s waiting for you inside The Shoreline.
You don’t need to be “ready.”
You don’t need to have the answers.
You don’t need some grand plan.
You just need the desire to grow—and the willingness to show up with honesty and consistency. That’s a lot easier when you’re surrounded by the right people.
P.S. It’s us. We’re those people.
