The world doesn’t need another Substack.. But this exhausted mother on an extended mat leave needs an outlet.
The past year has changed me in ways I’m still making sense of — and I’ll share what I feel ready to, when I feel ready to, but this will be the outlet of choosing from here on in. Expect personal essays, product recommendations, both unfinished and more fleshed-out thoughts..
I’m so glad you’re here. Many of you will have been by my side through editorial ventures past, so thank you for sticking around. Writing has always been a huge part of my life. It’s a practice I turn to often, and it has saved me during many early mornings and late nights, especially during this season of my life It is both a means of connection and catharsis. A practice and a process. A means to document and reflect. To learn and to share.
So here it is: a place for things I’ve loved, things I’ve contemplated keeping to myself — a place to put it all onto the proverbial page.
